HyperImage Projects by Pilot Users

This dataset contains the results and representations of different HyperImage research projects created and conducted by pilot users during the phase of HyperImage software development. These projects are: "Column" (on the structure of architectural columns, Zurich University), "Giotto" (on the iconology of Giotto, Humboldt University Berlin), "Glas" (on church glass windows, Humboldt University Berlin), "Images of the French Revolution" (media on the iconology of the caricatures during the French Revolution, Munich University), "Mnemosynae" (on the Warburg Mnemosynae atlas, Leuphana University Lüneburg), "Palast" (on the Palast der Republik East Berlin, Humboldt University Berlin), Peirce (on Charles Sanders Peirce's image based semiology, Humboldt University Berlin), Piranesi (on Piranesi's architectural drawings, Giessen University and Leuphana University Lüneburg), "Sculpture" (on the Santiago di Compostela Cathedral, Humboldt University Berlin). The HyperImage software was developed to document the highly complex interlinked image and text material to facilitate the digital reconstruction of artworks. HyperImage implements the pictorial footnote on the image, meaning that precisely marked image details can be linked via hypertext with other image details, image collections and texts. The image details are intellectually identified and marked, i.e., by authors, not by programs.
