Image - Census Sematic Data Model (CSDM) Documentation

Image

Author: Denitsa Nenova, George Bruseker

Version: 1.0

The Image model is intended to enable the representation and sharing of data relevant to images representing objects within the field of research. Typical instances of the Image model are images representing monuments or documents that are the primary objects of scholarly discourse. Image is used primarily as a reference model.

	Name	URI
Root Ontology Node	E36 Visual Item	https://cidoc-crm.org/Entity/E36-Visual-Item/version-7.1.1
Type Differentiator	N/A	N/A

The Image model allows the documentation of the following kinds of information:

Information Category	Information Collections	Description
Names and Classifications	Names/Alternative Names/Identifiers/Type	The researcher can document various names and classification regarding the Image.
Description	Description	The researcher can document various free text descriptions of the Image.

Image Names and Classifications

The attribution of names and types to an Image, as with other entities, is a basic human activity. A chief factor in disambiguating Images lies in understanding the various names and identifiers that have been given to them at different moments in their individual histories. Likewise, additional classifiers of the Image, such as how it has been formally classified, give important distinguishing characteristics.

Image Description

Images are the subjects of innumerable descriptions that provide a wide range of information with regards to the aesthetic and historical importance of the work, inter alia. Such descriptions are of use in a scholarly understanding of an Image only if we are able to track the provenance of such elocutions in a systematic fashion. Such an aim drives the need for the tracking of description information as a separate category. The descriptor necessary to this task are documented in the table below.
