Classical Art Research Online Systems (CLAROS) Meeting

该提案要求提供资金，以支持一次国际讲习班，以探索复杂的、图像丰富的数字收藏，并鉴于研究人员和组织可用的计算资源持续大幅增加，确定建立、管理和提供对分布式储存库的访问的可行替代办法。研讨会由肯塔基大学计算机科学系和英国牛津大学比兹利档案馆组织。研讨会的参加者将包括成像和系统领域的知名计算机科学家和来自不同应用领域的文化遗产专家。该讲习班是国际研究人员持续举行的一系列跨学科会议之一，目的是将计算机视觉和数字成像研究产品整合到涉及复杂自然文物和具有重大文化和历史价值的人类作品的数字表示的应用领域。这些实物保存在分布在世界各地的记忆机构和其他机构的集合中，研究人员和学生通常无法接触到它们。网络收藏中的数字片段为更广泛地访问更多对象和全新类型的分析提供了可能性。

This proposal requests funds to support an international workshop to explore complex, image rich digital collections and to identify viable alternative approaches to building, managing and providing access to distributed repositories in light of continuing dramatic increases in computational resources available to researchers and organizations. The Workshop organized by the University of Kentucky Computer Science department and the Beazley Archive at Oxford University, UK. The workshop will participants will include prominent computer scientists in imaging and systems areas and cultural heritage experts from a variety of application areas. The workshop is one in a continuing series of interdisciplinary meetings of international researchers aimed at integrating computer vision and digital imaging research products into application domains concerned with digital representations of complex natural artifacts and human works of significant cultural and historic interest. The physical artifacts are held in collections of memory institutions and others distributed around the world and generally inaccessible to researchers and students. Digital fascimilies in networked collections hold the potential for wider access to more objects and altogether new types of analyses.
