Creating, Visualizing, Analyzing, and Comparing Series of Artworks

In the present paper we discuss a visualization and authoring tool that enables users to visualize and analyze a collection of artworks. The user’s goal is to identify those items within the collection with similarities that can suggest an item’s membership to a series. We describe not only how the tool assists in the creation of series, but also how it helps to compare several series in parallel, and how to visualize items in a series in the context of the collection. The user can also create a catalog for the series he or she composed. Moreover, the interactive features of this tool can help art scholars to analyze, manipulate, and inspect a collection of artworks to create series.
