Abstract:
The evaluation of digital repositories with multiple access
options poses various questions concerning the choice of an appropriate
methodology and an adequate evaluation setting. Especially when
semantic concepts are represented by visual components a multimethodology
approach needs to be taken. This paper discusses such an
approach for coping with the various challenges. This work is based on
a digital image repository that allows multiple access via semantic
concepts such as topic maps, classical full-text search and content-based
image retrieval. This system is the central part of a research project
known as Living Memory.
