VINCIANE DOUCET, Anne. Standardization of the content elements of legends and key words in scientific pictures. ACIMED [online]. 2008, vol.18, n.2. ISSN 1024-9435.

The legends and keywords of scientific photographs about environment from an image bank are analyzed, in order to determine if there is standardization in the use of their content elements. The aims are to establish the semantic elements used in the legends and their structure; to check the level of vocabulary used in legends and keywords, as well as Jakobson´s functions applied in the legend; and to analyse Panofky's levels utilized in legends and keywords. Firstly, the models of Jakobson, Lasswell and Panofsky are defined to characterise the content elements and their utilization levels. Secondly, it is explained how to use them to analyse the documentary representation of the photos. Finally, the results connected with the standardized and non-standardized elements in the legends and key words are presented, taking into account the influence they may have on the photographic themes. To conclude, some improvements in relation to the standardization of documentary representation of photography are recommended.

Palabras clave : Content analysis; scientific photographs; communication models; documentary representation; standardization; Lasswell's model; Jakobson's model; Panofsky's model.
