Abstract
. We describe some preliminary exploratory work in the use of the GRAIL [2] description logic and GALEN terminology server architecture [24] to support classification of art images, based on our experiences of using GRAIL to support medical applications using clinical terminology [24]. We hope to apply lessons learnt in the medical domain and test whether the decisions made in the design and implementation of GRAIL and the terminology server architecture help or hinder efforts in a different domain. 1 Terminology and Art The use of terminologies to describe images is not new and predates computers. The principle of descriptive analysis of fine art was expounded by the Prague School in the 1920s [31] in the creation and application of a structured semiotic terminology. The terminology could be used to describe and automatically classify works of art by their content, and moreover identify patterns of change with reference to the social and environmental contexts of the artists and iden...
