Using images for enhancing discovering task in a DL context
Abstract
A lot of experiments have shown that images, graphics and iconographic resources, thanks to their explanatory power, can be considered as a very fundamental component of a man-machine interface. The goal of our approach is to make use of this oustanding property of the images in order to provide a Digital Library with Information Discovering capabilities. The aim of this paper is then to present a set of complementary tools using images for achieving elaborated information discovering tasks in a Digital Library environment which is mainly characterized by a strong iconographic content.
