The October issue of "Current Cites" is now available.
It focuses on recent renewed interest in peer-to-peer networking
online, which includes file-sharing and file-swapping, thus also
extends to copyright issues. From this ground the pieces here
cited, as editor Roy Tennant puts it, "speculate on the future
of creativity, publishing, and access to information in the wake
of an unstoppable technology that will change everything."

- ARTISTE
is a European Commission supported project that has developed
integrated content and metadata-based image retrieval across several
major art galleries in Europe. Collaborating galleries include
the Louvre in Paris, the Victoria and Albert Museum in London,
the Uffizi Gallery in Florence and the National Gallery in London.Over
the last two and a half years, ARTISTE has developed an image
search and retrieval system that integrates distributed, heterogeneous
image collections. The final system provides access to over 170,000
images and over 5 million items of metadata.
- Medieval Illuminated
Manuscripts of the National Library of the Netherlands:
- 15000 images (miniatures) from 400 different medieval manuscripts
from our collection and from the collection of the Museum Meermanno
Westreenianum. We used high-resolution 35 mm slides as intermedium:
Slides and scans ... As described above, the KB's efforts to provide
information about its illuminated manuscripts date back to the
videodisc project of the mid-eighties. The slides made for this
disc and those that were made for the Special Collections Department's
ongoing reproduction project, were the core of the slide collection
to be scanned for this digitization project. The selection of
views - opening, whole page, miniatures, details - still betrays
this somewhat heterogeneous origin. That is why some pictures
are included in the retrieval system in a single format, whereas
others are shown as a miniature, but also as part of a whole page
and as part of an opening. Needless to say, this 'handpicked'
aspect complicated the design of the web interface. All slides
are scanned at a resolution of circa 2000x3000 pixels and stored
in TIFF (Tagged Images File Format) files in KB's Digital Deposit
System. Three JPEG (Joint Photographic Expertise Group) images
were taken from the TIFFs: a thumbnail of 125 pixels wide (single
page or details) or high (openings), a 'pull-down' reference image
of 300 pixels, and an image of 750 pixels for zooming in on details.
