| Abstract | This session presents a project run by the University of Graz and the Austrian Academy of Sciences in Vienna studying why medieval charters were backed with decoration. Based on the cooperation of an interdisciplinary team of art historians, diplomatists, and specialists in digital humanities, its primary goal is the publication of an online catalogue of illuminated charters in the repository of monasterium.net, the largest European web portal for medieval and early modern charters. Within this framework the project shall develop new IT tools necessary for specific search strategies, supporting the description of the documents with the help of semantic web technologies and implementing automatic pattern recognition tools. |
