A large part of conservation documentation is related to describing or examining specific parts of an object, Areas of Interest. These Areas are commonly described as free text but is often helpful to mark them down by directly annotating appropriate images. Image annotation involves the identification of each specific area of interest on an image and capturing its specific location, size, and shape. The annotation can then be linked to a simple description or more complex further documentation, as required, in some form of presentation. This example shows the common relationships shared between defining “Areas of Interest” and annotating images.
