A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words: Art Indexing in Electronic Databases.
Roberts, Helene E.
Journal of the American Society for Information Science and Technology, v52 n11 p911-16 Sep 2001

As these concepts have changed over time, a sizeable verbal infrastructure is needed to support the indexing of large image databases to achieve maximum use by art historians. (Author/AEF)
