The image processing and database system in the National Museum of Western Art, Tokyo: an integrated system for art research
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 06 June 2016
Abstract
In Japan, art museums have created databases for management, educational and promotional purposes, rather than for research. At the National Museum of Western Art in Tokyo, a group consisting of a librarian, three curators, and a systems specialist, embarked in 1984 on a four year project to assemble and test a system which, utilising machine-readable thesauri and classification systems developed in Western countries, will, it is hoped, facilitate research into Western art.
