Projects
Theme: The Cultural Heritage system that was developed during this project, aims at providing web-enabled sophisticated access to the digital cultural resources of the Centre for Asia Minor Studies (CAMS). The Institute's resources range from paper manuscripts to 3-D objects related to the everyday life cycle of Greeks in Asia Minor from the end of the Byzantine era until the 1922 divide. The main goals of the project were to: digitize the selected material to a format suitable for long-term preservation; document the data with any information deemed necessary for its preservation and exploitation, catering for the interrelation of the resources so as to highlight their common features and allow unified access to the whole set; make the resources publicly available to all interested parties, ranging from the research community to laypersons such as Asia Minor descendants, school students and people interested in finding out more about the particular historical period. We have contributed to the design and development of an integrated system for annotation and retrieval. The system supports the CAMS metadata scheme and provides experts with a powerful tool for efficient metadata collaborative editing of digitized cultural resources and search thereof.
