This project created a database linking European art and plants, enhancing botanical knowledge organization. The database ensures data accuracy and accessibility for the public.

Area of Science:

  • Botanical informatics
  • Art history
  • Cultural heritage informatics

Background:

  • The "Plants in European Masterpieces" project aims to connect art and plants within European history.
  • It seeks to make this connection accessible to a broad audience.
  • The project is funded by the European Union under the Culture 2000 program.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a structured database for collecting and organizing information on plants featured in European art.
  • To establish a robust knowledge organization system for botanical data within the database.
  • To create a user-friendly, multilingual platform for disseminating scientific information to the public.

Main Methods:

  • Designing a database with a focus on knowledge organization to preserve botanical taxonomic structures.

  • Implementing methods to minimize data redundancy by linking features to appropriate taxonomic levels.
  • Utilizing a distributed data collection approach with weekly merging into a central database.
  • Employing automatic procedures to prevent data duplication and check for inconsistencies.

    • Main Results:

    • A functional database successfully installed across expert computers in five European countries.
    • A centralized database integrating data from multiple sources.
    • Procedures for data merging and validation are operational.
    • The database incorporates multilingual and user-friendly features.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed database effectively organizes botanical information within an art historical context.
    • The knowledge organization strategy successfully maintains taxonomic integrity and minimizes redundancy.
    • The system serves as a valuable prototype for public dissemination of scientific and cultural information.
    • The project demonstrates a successful integration of informatics, botany, and art history.
