Dear all
Yesterday saw the public beta launch of the Your Paintings website, a joint initiative between the BBC, the Public Catalogue Foundation and collections and museums from across the UK.
Here is a blog entry about the release:

One of the particularly engaging features is tagging paintings with your own descriptions, which because of the lovely images and interface turns out to be quite fun, as well as being a cumulatively useful thing to do for others. The response has already been excellent, and obviously the more people that tag paintings, the more useful it will be as a resource. You don’t need any specific expertise in art or technology.
If you haven’t already, have a go at tagging.
For more information on the project, see the Public Catalogue Foundation website:
Best wishes
Martin
