CLAROS (Classical Art Research Online Services)
CLAROS (Classical Art Research Online Services) provides access to information about ancient Greek and Roman art (sculpture, painted pottery, engraved gems and cameos, etc.) held in museums worldwide. It uses CIDOC CRM and RDF as the basis for combining more than 2,000,000 records and images held in five databases that have been created by leading European research centres over thirty years. From 2010 CLAROS will welcome new institutional partners with major datasets to extend the scope of information covered, and bring to www.clarosnet.org new facilities for accessing the data, such as the CLAROS Explorer faceted browser, and image-based information retrieval.
