The specialized SILKNOW multilingual thesaurus is being carried out by experts<\/g> in textile terminology and art historians, and computationally implemented<\/g> by experts in text mining and multi-\/cross-linguality and semantic<\/g> extraction from text. Controlled vocabularies are essential for researchers<\/g> as they allow them to be as accurate as possible when defining<\/g> a term (for conservation and curation purposes) especially in cataloguing, conservation and curation. The SILKNOW thesaurus is designed to connect various textiles located in<\/g> diverse collections and to standardize a widespread and fragile heritage.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Virtual Loom is being designed and implemented by computer \nscientists with expertise in interactive 3D graphics, being supported by\n experts in historical weaving techniques. So far, we have implemented \nthe basic techniques (plain weave, twill and\n satin) and a pictured weaving technique (damask). As input, the Virtual\n Loom takes an image, which is interactively processed to discern \nbetween the background and the yarns. This information, together with \nmathematical models of the weaving techniques, are computationally \nmerged to produce a virtual model of textiles\u2019 internal structure. The \nVirtual Loom is of interest for the creative industries and education \nsector, as users are able to use different weaving techniques for a \ngiven image, choose yarns\u2019 colors, navigate through the virtual model \nand produce 3D printed models.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
