Speed improvements

23 January 2013

The site is responding more quickly as of today. Because of the data structure, some queries took a long time to execute. We made some XML improvements to speed things up.

Furthermore, improvements were made to the site contents:

  • Reference images (high resolution normal light images of the current state of the painting) have been added for each painting
  • Pages on provenance have been expanded
  • Documentation on sample analyses is now sorted by sample name/number
  • Static texts have been updated

New content is on its way to be launched.
