I quote from the Abstract Giordano refers to following his posting. Humanities Applications in Computer Science. This project, in my opinion, is an example of a marriage between the interests of computer scientists and the needs of art historians and archivists.
Current approaches based on keywords or coding schemes are inadequate.
The proposed work addresses this issue by the design and construction of a pilot annotation and cataloguing workbench for art archivists, driven by a structured, dynamic composition alterminological model of subject content managed by a Description Logic. Research is required in the user tools for formulating queries, navigating through the terminology space and browsing instances, and the classification coherency of dynamic evolving instance descriptions.
