In the last decade the ARTigo platform collected descriptive tags for historic artworks through the help of different games with a purpose (GWAP). Using the additional provided creation date of the artworks, the goal of this thesis is to detect events relevant in an art historic context. To achieve this goal the relative amount of distinct tags is analyzed over time. Locating the events is acco...
