Résumé : Electronic imaging and digital applications have brought numerous benefits for museums, galleries, archives and other organizations in the arts, culture and heritage sectors. Bringing together leading international practitioners from different disciplines, the EVA (Electronic Imaging and the Visual Arts) conferences help those working in the field to gain the most from developments in multimedia technology. This accessible volume collects recent papers from EVA conferences, covering case studies from the world's greatest institutions, as well as from some of the smallest and most innovative. Topics covered include virtual reconstruction of destroyed buildings, digital image archiving, 2D and 3D digitization projects, website evaluation, virtual archaeology, handheld interactive visitor support, exploiting digital cultural heritage and electronic aids for non-speaking people, as well as summaries of international research and technology development. The volume presents in convenient form the wealth of experience of a great variety of international specialists, allowing readers to further enhance the visitor experience of their collections.

Résumé : Christophe Roche : Terminologie et ontologie. Occidental philosophy has been for centuries implicated in the way languages refer to the world. Ontologies are the result of the thought applied to the existence of things. Nowadays, ontologies represent entities handled by companies, such as products, processes, and so on. They are more and more involved in data processing. Actually, one of the aims of ontology treatment is to make sure that a designation corresponds to a concept and that both -concept and designation- refer to a well specified object. Logic as science of well formulated propositions is also involved in such data modeling.

Résumé : Le projet de numériser la culture affecte la pérennité des objets culturels. Mais qu’en est-il de la pérennité des formes mêmes de cette conservation ? Que devient la forme texte, comme mode de capture et de légitimation des savoirs, avec le passage de l’imprimé au numérique ? Par delà la formule séduisante de l’hypertexte (à la fois antithèse et superlatif du texte), c’est bien la nature de la textualité informatisée qui est en cause et, avec elle, la définition que nous nous donnons de l’objet texte.
