> On November 19-20, 2001, the National Science Foundation, The Andrew W.
> Mellon Foundation, and the Harvard University Art Museums jointly
> sponsored an invitational workshop on Digital Imagery for Works of Art.
> This workshop was organized by Kevin Kiernan (University of Kentucky),
> Charles Rhyne (Reed College), and Ron Spronk (Harvard University), and was
> designed to bring together computer and imaging scientists who have been
> active in digital imagery research with a particular group of end users,
> namely research scholars in the visual arts, including art and
> architecture historians, art curators, conservators, and scholars and
> practitioners in closely related disciplines.
>
> The specific purpose of the meeting was to explore how the research and
> development agenda of computing, information and imaging scientists might
> more usefully serve the research needs of research scholars in the visual
> arts. At the same time, participants looked for opportunities where
> applications in the art history domain might inform and push information
> technology research in new and useful directions.
>
> The final report of the workshop is now available at
> http://www.dli2.nsf.gov/mellon/report.html. This Web page contains a copy
> of the report in HTML and a link to a printable version in Adobe Acrobat
> format. This Web page also contains a link to a comment form. The
> organizers and sponsors would very much welcome comments and other
> feedback from readers of the report. Of particular interest would be
> links to ongoing efforts in the various areas emphasized in the report, as
> well as pointers to resources (collections, tools, etc.) that may be
> useful for future collaborative work.
