Problems in Image Access Traditional approach: labor intensive expensive
Project CLiMB Help image catalogers provide subject access? Harvest image descriptors from existing literature?
Can we harvest image descriptors? angled porch v-shaped plan sandstone boulders
CLiMB Technical Contribution • CLiMB will identify and extract • proper nouns • terms and phrases • from text related to an image: By September 14, 1908, the basis of the Greenes' final design had been worked out. It featured a radically informal, V-shaped plan (that maintained the original angled porch) and interior volumes of various heights, all under a constantly changing roofline that echoed the rise and fall of the mountains behind it. The chimneys and foundationwould be constructed of the sandstone boulders that comprised the local geology, and the exterior of the house would be sheathed in stained split-redwood shakes. — Edward R. Bosley. Greene & Greene. London: Phaidon, 2000. p.127.
CLiMB Overall Goals The essence of CLiMB: • Use scholars themselves as “catalogers” by employing scholarly publications • Enhance existing descriptive metadata The CLiMB project: • Research: Development of richer retrieval through increased numbers of descriptors • Practice: Development of CLiMB ToolKit
Squeezing Metadata out of Scholarly Texts • Image collection • Associated text • Target object identification (TOI) • CLiMB ToolKit
