ArtClaim - base lost, stolen and controversial works of art
 

January 19, 2015 The Art Recovery Group launches new resource ArtClaim to search for lost, stolen and controversial works of art.

To create the database it took 12 months, during which consultations were held with the leaders of the art market, law enforcement agencies and insurers.
Database ArtClaim offers new ways of identifying and recording the works of art. It provides innovative features image recognition, for each object has 500 data fields. This helps to ensure greater transparency in transactions and reduce transaction risks, and users get new features confirm the authenticity of the works.

ArtClaim offers four types of services: search, registration of interest, instant notification, and management of collections.

Every week in the database is added 5000 new objects. In the first month after starting the use of the database will be free.
In the future, will remain available for free registration of lost and stolen objects.

do I understand correctly that any "well-wisher" may register any work as stolen, then the owner will have three years to achieve its exclusion from the lists?

I don't know yet placement technology in the base, just getting started, read as far as possible.

And this database is public, visible to everyone or you can register a work of art is hidden, for access only to the administration? Perhaps not everyone wants to Shine their collections or individual pieces..

Such projects on the Internet... a lot of very, to put it mildly. :D
