Archives are increasingly important to creative industries, especially the fashion sector, which often relies on historical collections for design inspiration, product-development, and market strategizing. As these collections are digitized and catalogued their accessibility becomes more complex and their usefulness restricted to those skilled in navigating through the metadata. Content-based image retrieval (CBIR) offers only a partial solution to this dilemma. Requirements of the fashion sector necessitate a tool to enhance the browsing experience for creative applications beyond retrieval. This paper highlights limitations of CBIR for applications in creative industries such as fashion. It briefly reviews relevant literature, highlights some research questions, and outlines the approach we are adopting to integrate the requirements of users with the appropriate technology. Examples from Fashion and Apparel Browsing for Inspirational Content (FABRIC), a collaborative 3-year ￡1.4M Technology Strategy Board project, sponsored by the Department for Innovation, Universities and Skills (DIUS), provide a real-world application.

机译：档案对创意产业越来越重要，尤其是时尚行业，通常依赖于设计灵感，产品开发和市场战略化的历史收藏品。由于这些集合被数字化并编目，因此他们的可访问性变得更加复杂，并且其有用性仅限于通过元数据导航的技术人员。基于内容的图像检索（CBIR）仅为这种困境提供部分解决方案。时尚扇区的要求需要一种提升浏览体验，以获得超越检索的创意应用程序。本文突出了CBIR在时尚等创意产业中的应用的限制。它简要介绍了有关文献，突出了一些研究问题，并概述了我们采用的方法，以整合用户的需求与相应的技术。 Scient and Apparel浏览的例子是鼓舞人心的内容（面料），由创新，大学和技能部（DIUS）主办的合作3年级1.4米科技战略委员会项目提供了真实世界的应用。
