   Blitz outlined some of the problems for access to images. The traditional approach is labor-intensive and expensive. Project CLiMB addresses the question "Is it possible to harvest image descriptions for metadata?" CLiMB is employing computational linguistic tools to identify and extract proper nouns, terms and phrases from existing scholarly literature associated with image collections, for use as metadata. Using the example of the Pratt House by Greene and Greene, Blitz demonstrated how a collection could be made searchable at a finely-grained level of detail. See http://www1.cs.columbia.edu/~delson/cni/ for this example and others.
