Hi Caroline,

This sounds fascinating. If you haven't already, you might want to look 
at the ASIS conference paper I did last year with Jeff Brunskill; we 
analyzed "informational images." He used some of my dissertation 
methodology but expanded some areas. The article you recommend sounds 
very useful.

I have been working on a general vocabulary for indexing images, but it 
is only about half done. I am hoping to get some support to finish it 
next year. What exactly do you mean by "image structures"? I also had 
two students describing structure in geographic images, natural science 
images, and photographs.

Glad to hear you are still working on these interesting things.
