A joint event with Kulturerbe Digital, Austria

Iconclass is a classification system for the iconographic and thematic indexing of works of art and other cultural objects. This multilingual vocabulary supports the interoperability and reusability of data in linked open data contexts and therefore is increasingly used in museums, collections and research projects.

The webinar introduces Iconclass and aims to demonstrate in a practical way how to work with the classification when indexing visual works. It will be followed by an open forum for questions and discussion.

The event will be held in German. It will be recorded and available online later. Participation is free of charge.

Speaker: Angela Kailus (German Documentation Centre for Art History – Bildarchiv Foto Marburg, Philipps University Marburg)
