Words . . . will not stay in place: cataloging and sharing image collections
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 06 June 2016
Abstract
Words have been affixed to still images for hundreds of years to describe who created a work or what it portrays. This paper examines the ways this process might evolve in an era where dissemination of knowledge is far less linear than it was in an age of print, and reviews two projects that ARTstor is pursuing with the art historical community. One captures users’ notes about 190,000 photographs of old master drawings that are in need of updated descriptive cataloging. The other will create a Built Works Registry through the use of a credentialed Wikipedia-like strategy.
