Editor's Notes
- Hello everybody, I’m Marco Rendina, one the founders and the technical director of the Europeana Fashion International Association. I’m not going to tell you much about the general facts of the project, but I’m going to show you how we have enrcihed our metadata with style, using semantic and image analysis.
- here is the home page of our portal (europeanafashion.eu) where you can access more than 700.000 fashion objects (both historical and contemporary). You can access our content through our curated themes or you can simply browse through several collections coming from our partners…
- …For example we can browse through the items of Victoria and Albert museum (we have almost 10.000 objects coming from their collections). You could refine the results using the facets on the left, but now let’s just select this nice coat at the bottom of the page…
- Here is the detailed page of this item. As you can see, we have a quite complete textual description of the object. We analysed these descriptions, using natural language processing techniques, and we extracted relevant words that matched our fashion thesaurus. As in this case silk and metal. And then we added these keywords to our material property. We extracted also words like velvet and satin, and we added them to the technique property.
- Of course, we always notify users when the values we show have been generated automatically by analysing the descriptions.
- Here is another example, with the nice collection of shoes from Rossimoda museum. We have more than 13.000 shoes in this collection. …Let’s select the black shoes on the top right side…
- Here is the detailed page. Also in this case we analysed the short description, searching for terms that matched our thesaurus. And we extracted the term embrodery that we added to the technique property. And the term multicolored that we added to the color property, in addition to the already present black term.
- And finally, let’s look at an example of image analysis enrichment. Here are the photos from the collections of the Italian designer Antonio Marras. We have quite few of them. Let’s choose this one from the autumn-winter collection 2011.
- Here is the detailed record page. What we did, for all the catwalk photos like this one, is to perform image analysis techniques in order to identify and extract the silhouette of the model and then isolate the mask of the dress in order to extract the dominant colors, excluding the colors of the background and the skin. And then of course we added the extracted colors to the record
- And also in this case, we alert our users that the colors have been extracted automatically.
- That’s all. Thanks for your attention, If you have questions do not hesitate to contact me, in person here or by email at the address that you see here.
