Project description
The goal of the project is to prototypically realize a procedure for automatic formal normalization and content indexing for the image collection of the prometheus image archive.
For this purpose, terminology resources for work titles and artist names will first be created, which will be used for an automatic indexing of the image descriptions of the prometheus image collection.
In a next step, the realization of an automatic indexing procedure for image descriptions will identify and assign the characteristic relations existing in an image collection (e.g. between work title ↔ artist and building ↔ geographic).
Additionally, in a completely new approach, an attempt is made to link the images in prometheus with art historical technical texts.
