• NCR (Coordinator)
• IT Innovation Center
• Giunti Interactive Labs
• The National Gallery
• Centre de Recherche et de Restauration des Musées de France
• Uffizi
• Multimedia Research Group
• Victoria and Albert Museum
• Budget on € 2.77M (EC € 1.8M)

ARTISTE Objectives
• Business Objectives Identify how the technical systems developed in the project can be
deployed and exploited in a number of sectors Establish business models that give the content owners direct
control over the distributed representation, access and exploitation of digital multimedia content and metadata
Ensure that the vision and results of the project become as widely known and understood as possible
5
ARTISTE Objectives
• Technical Objectives Meet specified end-user requirements for achieving a system directly
useful to professional users in the fine arts. Develop automatic metadata representations for image categorisation Develop seamless distributed access to multiple collections Develop distributed content-based navigation methods for art collections Develop image analysis algorithms to assist the work of Art Professionals Build and prove the value of a robust and scalable integrated environment
that incorporates the above components using the TeraData Object-Relational database
6
Core Technologies
• Distributed links server software, user interfaces, and content-based navigation software
• Content based analysis for the automatic extraction of color, shape and texture features
• Art collection integration through a web based architecture
• Teradata Object Relational database for the effective management and analysis of huge repository of large high resolution images
• Dynamic metadata system for image categorization primarily based on XML

User Groups
• User Partners: Partners of the project who provide detailed requirements and monitor and test the system (Uffizi, C2RMF, VAM, NG).
• User profiles: The project targets a wide range of profiles. More generally, the User profiles profile group, is set by those, who will use the application directly and will have their activities supported. (museums curators, researchers, historians, conservators, publishers and editors, auctioneers, art amateurs).
• Other Users: who has an interest in the system or is affected by its functioning without directly using it (education and mass end users, support personnel).
12
User Goals
• G1: Matching of similar images
• G2: Automatic search using synonyms
• G3: Search based on the concept of style
• G4: Search based on features oriented to the restoration framework
• G5: Access information quickly and easily
• G6: Search based on colour, pigment features
• G7: Query by low quality images (faxes)
• G8: Query by sketch
• G9: Query refinement
• G10: Joint retrieval by content and by text
• G11: Use of publishing products built on the Artiste system
• G12: Detail finding
• G13: Search using multilingual vocabulary

ARTISTE AIUG and Advisory Panel
Members of the Artiste Interest User’s Group will: Receive the AIUG Newsletter giving regular updates on the project's progress, plus news
on related subjects and events Receive invitations to attend workshops where you will see how the project vision is
developing and meet other professionals to exchange views (first workshop due to take place towards the end of 2000)
Have other opportunities to provide feedback to the project and influence how it develops to meet the needs of professionals
Members of the ARTISTE Advisory Panel will: Review selected deliverables or assess ARTISTE prototypes Provide guidelines on the overall direction of the project. Occasionally participate in ARTISTE PMT Meetings
