Paragraph 2
The project website says: "Smells shape our
of the world, yet we have very little
information about the past." It lists a
of questions it hopes researchers will answer. These are: "What are the
scents...that have shaped our
? How can we extract sensory data from large-scale digital text and image collections? How can we represent smell in all its
in a database? How should we safeguard our olfactory
? And - Why should we?" Team leader Dr William Tullett wants people to be aware of an
of smells, pleasant and unpleasant. He said: "We are trying to encourage people to consider both the
and the fragrant elements of Europe’s
past."
