About
In the past few years, an increasing effort has been put into developing new systems for gathering, sharing and describing images with the help of digital technologies. Projects have been taking advantage of the new developments for creating databases and digital tools to gather and make searchable Medieval and Early-Modern images of different kinds (illuminations, paintings, printed illustrations, stamps, etc.) This one-day workshop will bring together people currently involved in such projects, to discuss the objectives and the technical features of the different platforms, data gathering strategies, methodologies adopted for the iconographic and figurative description and future developments, with a specific focus on the main challenges encountered by each project, possible links, and interoperability. The main aim of the workshop is to facilitate the exchange of knowledge and the creation of new operating connections within this community of practice while offering an overview of the state of the art as far as the treatment of digital images as objects of research are concerned.
