Official Engram of Uruguay’s Field of Arts

Conclusions from the research done Based on the analysis of case study Official Engram of Uruguay’s Field of Arts, from 1939 to 2012, it may be confirmed that, upon applying mathematical models to examine an art collection, it is possible to obtain morphological visualizations of art collections. It is also possible to confirm that such morphology is the visual representation of the collection’s contents.

A direct relation between the contents of the evolutionary groups and their morphology was detected, thus leading to affirm that visualizations corresponding to the same evolutionary group show morphological similarities with one another. Along with such visualizations came the possibility to reach general and specific conclusions regarding the visual study of the collection. The compared morphology study of the fifteen particular samples used in the research led to evolutionary conclusions regarding the collection.

The outcome of the compared morphology study enables the visualization of quantitative, qualitative and phylotecnic relations in the collection’s evolution, also revealing the possible external agents for change in the collection’s evolution.

Research progress On the basis of this research study, software material was developed under the name of OPPAMEV / “Ontología de Percepción de Piezas de Arte y Modelos Evolutivos de Visualización” (“Ontology of the perception of works of art and visualization evolutionary models” as per its Spanish acronym). Applying the OPPAMEV software enables the measurement, modeling and classification of the field of arts, with the generation of mappings of means of expression, sensorial (brain) mappings, and conservation strategies.

The OPPAMEV application is used for implementing an ontology in relation to the perception of works of art. It is based on the automatic generation of forms for data entry in art ontology. This app was a graduate thesis presented for obtaining a degree in Computer System Engineering at the School of Engineering of the University of the Republic of Uruguay (UdelaR - Montevideo) presented in May 2016. The development of the OPPAMEV application is the ontological evolution of the Engrama Project, where this article’s author also authored the original ontologies, and co-authored –with the graduate candidates– the development ontologies.

OPPAMEV is the name of the software tool applied in the framework of the Engrama Platform, Research on evolutionary and morphological
