DIGILAB- 5, ArtBase system

Facility type: DIGILAB

Access provider: Ormylia Foundation, Ormylia Art Diagnosis Centre

Title: ArtBase system

Description

The ArtBase system has been developed to offer a new art documentation system. It is a tool that manages multidimensional information mainly from the diagnosis and documentation of artworks and material from different scientific areas. The information content of the system, concerns and is addressed to scientists from different scientific fields who are engaged in the preservation and dissemination of cultural heritage such as physicochemical scientists and artworks conservators, art historians, and visitors to museums or online art museums.

Services

Non-destructive methods of analysis of artworks such as:

UV images of fluorescence and reflection, of the visible area and the infrared region of the spectrum, radiographic images
Colorimetry such as color measurements in various color spaces (L*a*b, XYZ, xyY, etc.)
UV/VIS/nIR spectroscopy
In situ m-Raman spectroscopy

Micro-sampling analyses methods such as:

MRaman spectroscopy
μFTIR spectroscopy
liquid and gas chromatography

Technical Info

Database of text, images, and scientific measurements.
Interface of data representation in a user-friendly environment.
