I thought it would be worth sharing the key words I used in Korsakow to build the database to better illustrate how I worked with the software. To explain it simply, Korsakow is a piece of database software, where media is loaded into it, and links are created in the form of shared defining key words for a file. The key words, in tandem with a custom interface design, generate links to the different media in a dynamic and more random way than conventional gallery software. Here are the ones I used.

I split them up into two categories being the logical progression of space that will be linked together (from one spot, to the spots next to it and so on), and the abstract characteristics of each image that are shared by multiple images. I tried to keep keywords short and simple just to save in typing time and space. I went through the images and noted the most pertinent details that were shared by several images and I would use those to link them.

I decided to keep logical links for two reasons. One is that, when the abstract links fail to maintain a recurring chain of links, the logical ones will keep the program running. Two is that is offers the user the option of progressing through the images logically if they prefer, over the sometimes seemingly random nature of the photograph characteristics.

The tedious part is typing in key words manually for each image. I also found upon completing this that the keyword Arch was for too abundant (as arches are a big feature of this style of architecture) and so I removed that as a key word after the fact.
