Roberts, Helene E. – Journal of the American Society for Information Science and Technology, 2001
Since it is largely the concepts related to works of art that interest art historians, it is these concepts that need to be reflected in indexing terminology. As these concepts have changed over time, a sizeable verbal infrastructure is needed to support the indexing of large image databases to achieve maximum use by art historians. (Author/AEF)
