In 1946 the OSS
Art Looting Investigation Unit published its Final Report. The Report was accompanied by an Index of Names and a summary of findings called the
Red Flag List of Names.
The Red Flag List of Names, while not exhaustive, is extremely interesting for network analysis because of its prosopographical approach, A name could be mentioned more more than a hundred times, with extensive links to others, or only once, with a couple of links.
The document was classified and basically unavailable for many years.
But today, nearly twenty years after the Washington Conference Principles on Nazi-Confiscated Art, what is known of these Red Flag names?
How are they reflected in authority files?
This question takes on a certain urgency as museums convert their information systems to a linked open data format, which relies on authority files such as ULAN, to recognize entities and link them to other information.
note: raw data: "Goering" and "Goering's" are counted separatedly; spelling errors such as "Natman" instead of "Nathan "or "Seira" instead of" Skira" have not been corrected)
