I know the mainstream news items about it at the time of launch
reached some art historians and academics, but I don't know whether
they've gone back to use it since. I still get occasional emails from
people telling me about this cool new site they've found (bless).
I'm not sure how datasets become embedded in research practice -
visibility in Google and listings in library catalogues/websites is
probably a good place to start.
