Evaluating ImageDesk - Background

The reason for this evaluation of ImageDesk as a platform for a Non-Official Picture

Library for the Municipality of Vaxholm, which I am currently working on, is twofold.

I am doing it for my own sake and knowledge because I think my own municipality

lacks a good way to display both its historical analog pictures and even the more

recently taken ones. I also have a background as an IT coordinator at Stockholm City

Museum and served as technical project manager and developer when the City

Museum of Stockholm developed "DigitalaStadsmuseet" between 2009 and 2016.

Stockholm had two purposes in developing that system. First, to make all the

museum's digital images, documents and museum publications available to all

Stockholmers, the local business community, the entire Swedish cultural community

and all other interested parties. Second, it was about streamlining the museum's photo

processes in order to make them more efficient, in order to save as much as possible

of the museums already fragile analog material and Cultural Heritage. I hope I would

be able to inspire Vaxholm to implement an Open Picture Library even with a possibility

to publish documents and other types of relevant information for both locals and all

these tourists thar visit our little town.

All the test images used to evaluate the system, are taken by myself and all has

metadata in English in the Internet-standards of IPTC/XMP. They consist mainly of

architectural images of often well known "Landmarks" that are part of a test series I

have used earlier to evaluate how well different AI models are able to identify and

describe "Landmarks" around the world with the help of AI-driven Image Analyzes.

Almost all Description- and Keyword-texts here are generated using AI-supported

image interpretation and my own personal iMatch DAM (Digital Asset Management

System) and the Autotagger tool in iMatch. The system ImageDesk-system can handle

both English and Swedish but is always based on a main language and that is therefor

a decision you need to make if you introduce such a system. But it is far more

convenient to use for example the automatic translation built into for example the

Windows Microsoft Edge Browser.

Some complementary images are also taken from the Vaxholm and Stockholm

archipelagos to exemplify also with more local material. The current metadata texts

are in English due to the fact that I and many others publishing pictures on

the Internet always use image metadata in English because that is the only thing that

works internationally. But in a localized Swedish Vaxholm official Picture Library they

will most certainly be in Swedish.
