Title

Librarian cornered by images, or how to index visual resources

Abstract

Presenting museum, library, and archive collections online has become a common practice in recent years. Among the data accessible via the Internet are visual resources such as paintings, drawings, engravings, and photographs, which constitute a rich and vital source of information. Image indexing is an extremely difficult task. The crucial question is: how to transform the visual code of an image into written code. This article presents standards of still images description, guidelines, and indexing tools, the advantages and disadvantages of their use, and their potential to provide authoritative and comprehensive access points to digitized resources and to support sophisticated search. In order to provide efficient access to the digitalized images presented at the National Digital Library Polona and to promote their re-use, we are looking for a model for applying subject indexing to images.
