Abstract
In research on automatic processing of art history data and documents, problems are formulated and solved based on implicit assumptions of what tools are available. The purpose of this paper is to call attention to tools drawn from parts of Computer Science, with which art historians are generally unfamiliar, in order to suggest that the computers which process these data and documents may also view them in several senses that will be explained below. We question the assumption that computers must be blind to the art from which the data and documents derive.Proceedings Title
