L’indexation de l’art contemporain : un enjeu pour la communication du patrimoine

This contribution approaches the question of the indexation of contemporary art in the era of the Web 2.0. It approaches in first part the theory and the frame of indexation studies and its implications in the field of the trasmission of knowledge. This technique of Information documentary processing is defined as a speech. In a second part, the application and the objectives of the indexation on some important Web sites are approached. These examples of Web sites allow to understand the possibilities of valuation of works of art thanks to the traditional indexation and through the principles of collaboration allowed by Web 2.0. The third part brings examples and complementary reflexions to understand the rules of the indexation in the global communication projects and the museum and patrimonial mediations
