REGNET 2001-03 IST Cultural Heritage in Regional Networks2. Data Management

2.1. Comments on technical planning

We intend to implement a data base system to catalogue the collection. We will also design a web site on Incivics as well as including the artists and

their works on photography and image (video creation and net art) in a web site of one of Incivics collaborators.

The functions we want to support are basically focused on two levels:

Internal Level: creation of an online community of emerging artists to promote the interchange of experiences among the Incivics artists and

resources, digitisation....

External Level; cataloguing and disseminating the Incivics’ artists and works, digitisation and education.

2.2. The METHOD we will use for subject classification is Keywords and another possible way would be image categorisation.
