  1. Visualizing Art History Doron Goldfarb doron@ec.tuwien.ac.at Electronic Commerce GroupVSEM – The Virtual 3D Social Experience Museum Institute of Software Technology and Interactive Systems Vienna University of Technology Favoritenstrasse 9-11/188-1 . 1040 Vienna .

  2. Art History as „Network of Relations“ • Relations in tradition, influence, style and technique • Relations betweenpeople( teacher/student, patrons, collaborators, etc.) • Geographicalinfluences ( „Dutch Light“ ... ) • General historicalinfluences( wars, different reigns etc. ) • Last butnot least: associativeapproaches

  3. Diagrams of Art „Development“

  4. „Art Diagrams“ as Virtual Museum Layouts ? • Use existing semantic relationships • Organize them to form “Narratives” and • use them as base for automatic graph layouts • 1st example: Relationships between artists, their patrons etc.

  5. Data Sources – Image Database Web Gallery of Art • Providesinformationabout ~17.000 artworksby ~2.200 artists • RAFFAELLO Sanzio;(b. 1483, Urbino, d. 1520, Roma);The Transfiguration;1518-20;Oil on wood, 405 x 278 cm;Pinacoteca, Vatican;http://www.wga.hu/html/r/raphael/5roma/5/10trans.htmlpainting;religious;Italian;1501-1550

  6. Data Sources – ControlledVocabularies • Getty Union List of Artist Names ( ULAN )Structuredvocabulary of artistnames and biographicalinformation • Getty Arts & Architecture Thesaurus ( AAT )Structuredvocabulary of conceptsrelating to the fine arts, architecture and decorativearts • Getty Thesaurus of GeographicNames ( TGN )Structuredvocabulary of geographicnamesforindexing art and architecture

  7. RDF Mappingbetween Image Metadata and Vocabularies

  8. WGA RDF Dataset <rdf:Description rdf:about="&wga;15104"> <vra:creator rdf:resource="&ulan;500023578"/> <vra:date.beginning>1518-01-01</vra:date.beginning> <vra:date.completion>1520-12-31</vra:date.completion> <vra:title>TheTransfiguration</vra:title> <vra:material>Oil on wood</vra:material> <vra:measurements.dimensions>405.0 x 278.0</vra:measurements.dimensions> <vra:measurements.formats>cm</vra:measurements.formats> <vra:location.currentSite> Vatican</vra:location.currentSite> <vra:location.currentSiterdf:resource="&tgn;None"/> <vra:location.currentRepository>Pinacoteca</vra:location.currentRepository> <vra:type rdf:resource="&aat;300033618"/> <vra:subject rdf:resource="&aat;300248179"/> <vra:culture rdf:resource="&aat;300111198"/> <rdf:typerdf:resource="&vra;Work"/> </rdf:Description> <rdf:Description rdf:about="&wgaimg;/r/raphael/5roma/5/10trans.jpg"> <vra:relation.depicts rdf:resource="&wga;15104"/> <vra:source>WGA</vra:source> <rdf:typerdf:resource="&vra;Image"/> </rdf:Description>

  10. Search Graph ...

  11. ... Becomes a Timeline Graph

  12. Current Prototype • Translate the timeline graph into a 3D representation • Use additional dimension to represent “influence” • Code rank of artist node as height value • Show relations as differently colored curves • Show images and related metadata

  13. Current Prototype

  14. Current Prototype

  15. Current Prototype

  16. Outlook • Dynamic Graph Drawing • Multi User Visualization • Different Narratives ( Geographical, User generated Tags ) • Additional ( semantic ) datasources like Freebase and DBpedia • ! EVALUATION !
