About

Alberto Campagnolo discusses an automated visualization of historical bookbinding structures. Researchers use both images (pictures and drawings) and verbal descriptions (words) to document artifacts. In the last few decades, the recording and management of documentation data about material objects, including bookbindings, has switched from paper-based archives to databases, but sketches and diagrams are a form of documentation still carried out mostly by hand. Diagrams can present unique information, but often also serve as a visual representation of information recorded in the written documentation. He describes a methodology to harness verbal information in an XML database and automatically generate standardized and scholarly-sound visual representations.

Human-made No record of this work says a model made it. What this means.
