Rock Art Interpretation within Indiana MAS
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents the first results achieved within the Indiana MAS project funded by Italian Ministry for Education, University and Research, MIUR. We discuss how the AgentSketch holon belonging to the Indiana MAS has been extended to cope with images, besides hand drawn sketches, and has been tested in the domain of Mount Bego’s prehistoric rock art (southern French Alps). The way Indiana MAS holons cooperate in order to provide correct interpretations of ambiguous shapes is discussed by means of an example based on hypotheses recently advanced by archaeologists.

A Holonic Multi-agent System for Sketch, Image and Text Interpretation in the Rock Art Domain∗
This paper presents the architecture of a holonic multi-agent system for rock art interpretation and discusses the results achieved within the “Indiana MAS” project. We show how the AgentSketch and the ImageRec holons belonging to the Indiana MAS, able to cope with hand drawn sketches and images respectively, have been tested in the domain of Mount Bego’s prehistoric rock art (southern French A...
متن کاملThe Indiana MAS Project: Goals and Preliminary Results
The Indiana MAS project, funded by the Italian Ministry of Education, University and Research “Futuro in Ricerca 2010” program, aims at providing a framework for the digital protection and conservation of rock art natural and cultural heritage sites, by storing, organizing and presenting information about them in such a way to encourage scientific research and to raise the interest and sensibil...
متن کاملOntology-Driven Processing and Management of Digital Rock Art Objects in IndianaMAS
This paper presents the Indiana Ontology for modeling the knowledge about Mount Bego’s rock art and its exploitation in the IndianaMAS project. Although many projects use ontologies for semantic processing of cultural heritage digital objects, we are not aware of such ontologies in the rock art domain. Also, the Indiana Ontology is fully and seamlessly integrated with the IndianaMAS framework c...
متن کاملA closer look at rock physics models and their assisted interpretation in seismic exploration
Subsurface rocks and their fluid content along with their architecture affect reflected seismic waves through variations in their travel time, reflection amplitude, and phase within the field of exploration seismology. The combined effects of these factors make subsurface interpretation by using reflection waves very difficult. Therefore, assistance from other subsurface disciplines is needed i...
متن کاملAnalogical Evidence and Shamanism in Archaeological Interpretation : South African and European Palaeolithic Rock Art
Rock art studies have been strongly reliant on ethnography in recent decades. Since the 1970s, the (re)turn to ethnography has been considered short of a paradigmatic change, and it has indeed stirred a lot of theoretical discussion in the very under-theorized field of rock art research. The ethnographic turn has been mainly built around shamanism, very loosely defined here as the causal associ...
