In indexing the more than 600,000 images, we have found some general theories on teaching the "visual literacy" to our indexers and clients. The reason that images are so difficult to convert to text is an interpretive one. In testing we have seen the same image of a girl indexed as both crying and laughing. The visual cues that result in a different interpretation, are just as difficult as in your own everyday communication and body language.

As a structure for our clients, we have defined image indexing with three primary layers². The first is the Object which makes up the bare components of an image, the second is the Style which encompasses the purpose for which the image has been captured and the third and most difficult is the Implication. This belies the emotion and insight of the image.

The following still images, show examples of this type of indexing theory. It is important to remember that this theory can only be applied if it fits our client’s needs. Also, note the basic information about the photographer or artist is omitted for this example. This theory is defining the visual composition only, not the creator, original format, etc. 

NEW! The following moving images show examples of video and film indexing following the layered approach and also include basic information pertinent to video indexing.

NEW! The following audio samples demonstrate how the layered approach and basic information are used to indexed audio files.
