What's included

Catalog Intelligence takes the artwork you already own or source and makes it findable. The same structure that sits behind the ONLLY Historical and Modern catalogs is applied to your library.

We take on
  • Fixing titles, artists, dates and sources
  • Filling gaps in metadata we can verify
  • One taxonomy: subject, style, palette, mood, orientation, room fit
  • Visual and descriptive tagging of each work
  • Search set up on the cleaned library
  • A short report of what was fixed and what could not be
You keep
  • Ownership of your files and your data
  • The final say on taxonomy terms and naming
  • Your supplier relationships
  • The choice of where the cleaned data lives

How it runs

  1. 01

    Sample

    You send a representative sample of the library. We assess its condition and propose a taxonomy.

  2. 02

    Clean and structure

    We correct and complete the metadata and map every work to the agreed taxonomy.

  3. 03

    Tag

    Each work gets visual and descriptive tags so search can work on what the image shows, not only on its name.

  4. 04

    Search and handover

    We set up search on the cleaned library and hand over the data and a short report.

Rights and data

We work with the files you give us and do not change their licence status. Where a source or licence cannot be verified we mark the work as such instead of guessing. Your library and the cleaned data are not shared with other clients, and we sign an NDA on request.

FAQ

How large does the library need to be?

There is no fixed minimum. The work pays off once a team can no longer find a file without asking a colleague. A sample tells us quickly whether it fits.

Do you move our files?

Not unless you ask. We can work from copies and return the cleaned metadata in the format you choose.

Can this run on the ONLLY catalogs too?

Yes. Search can cover your library, the Historical and Modern catalogs, or all of them together.

What does it cost?

It depends on the size and condition of the library. We quote after seeing a sample.

Have a library nobody can search?

Send a short brief with a description of the library. We reply with what we would do and what it takes.
