Problems in Image Access
Traditional approach: labor intensiveexpensive

Project CLiMB
Help image catalogers provide subject access?
Harvest image descriptors
from existing literature?
8
Can we harvest image descriptors?

CLiMB will identify and extract• proper nouns• terms and phrases
from text related to an image:
By September 14, 1908, the basis of the Greenes' final design had been worked out. It featured a radically informal, V-shaped plan (that maintained the original angled porch) and interior volumes of various heights, all under a constantly changing roofline that echoed the rise and fall of the mountains behind it. The chimneys and foundation would be constructed of the sandstone boulders that comprised the local geology, and the exterior of the house would be sheathed in stained split-redwood shakes.

CLiMB Overall Goals
The essence of CLiMB: • Use scholars themselves as “catalogers” by
employing scholarly publications• Enhance existing descriptive metadata
The CLiMB project:• Research: Development of richer retrieval
through increased numbers of descriptors• Practice: Development of CLiMB ToolKit

Cebolla Church, 1945Oil on canvas, 20 1/16 x 36 1/4 in. (51.1 x 92.0 cm.)Purchased with funds from the North Carolina Art Society (Robert F. Phifer Bequest), in honor of Joseph C. Sloane, 72.18.1
Driving through the New Mexican highlands near her home, Georgia O'Keeffe would often pass through the village of Cebolla with its rude adobe Church of Santo Niño. The artist was moved by the poignancy of the little building: its sagging, sun-bleached walls and rusted tin roof seemed so typical of the difficult life of the people.
When O'Keeffe came to paint the church she addressed it directly, emphasizing its isolation and stark simplicity. Literally formed out of the earth, the building affirms the permanence and the hard, defiant patience of the people. For O’Keeffe, it symbolized human endurance and aspiration. "I have always thought it one of my very good pictures", she wrote, "though its message is not as pleasant as many others".
And the question remains: What is that in the window?
