- Abstract
- The image as a new indexing resource to be integrated to the information systems, must be studied with the final purpose of representing its contents according to the special characteristics it exhibits. Differences between the traditional documents and the singularities of digital audiovisual information that is substituting analogical information, are being researched. Another aspect being examined is the re-evaluation of the thesaurus and the convenience of its use in the new informative environment. It has been proposed an image analysis extrapolated from the Panofsky's proposal to analyse art works and, therefore, foresee the representation of the different elements necessary for the audiovisual document analysis in the thesaurus to be built. 1. Introduction The human being is exposed to a constant exercise with unreal images, taking into account television, computers, publicity at the streets and in the movies. Sixteen out of the twenty four hours of the day, he's submitted to images that try to reproduce the real world. When sleeping there's also image activity, dreams occur with images and imagination is accompanied by a representation with these ones: we imagine situations, solutions and actions. There's even the proposal that man's memory is stored in our brain in the form of images. The evolution of the intellect, and together with it, that of the visual- perceptive process, leads the man to develop an exceptional skill: that one of generating representations that "imitate" objects and scenes of the environment. (Yankelevich, 1993, 15-31) The traditional photograph-illustrated document is being substituted in part by the audiovisual one, that nowadays has been transformed from analogical to digital systems, converting images, sound, music and voice in manipulable and feasible-to-transform data and intercalating them to generate another type of product, different from the original. Videos, movies, sound, texts and graphics are digital substances expressed in data. This characteristic of the digital information takes us back to many menhires and dolmens from the Stone Age, used by the Celtic druids to register their formulas and enchantings (it is said that the stones they used came from the Stone Age but the most accepted tendency affirms that these inscriptions dated from the Christian Era); also to take notes employing the alphabet known as Ogham, that originated from Ogma, the Celtic God of Writing.
