Digitizing a book and knowing what book it is, is what the Internet Archive and OpenLibrary do. I would have wanted them to also know which articles/chapters are in each book, i.e. to add mark-up equivalent to the table of contents, especially when each chapter has its own author.
But next to a book's printed table of contents one often finds a list of illustrations. They can be woodcuts of famous paintings, they can be made by different artists, have titles of their own, depicting various scenes that would be nice if one could search for. Are there any digitization projects (or library projects) that carefully index the illustrations found in books, i.e. that reconstruct the list of illustrations in digital markup? -- Lars Aronsson ([email protected]) Project Runeberg - free Nordic literature - http://runeberg.org/ _______________________________________________ Ol-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.archive.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/ol-discuss To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send email to [email protected]
