Access to and preservation of cultural and scientific resources
QVIZ created a collaborative time- and map-based environment for accessing digital resources. It allows searching archives without knowing the language of a record or the institution holding it.
Many archives are working on digitising material in order to enhance access and preserve fragile content. However, the information that the archives hold is often complex, which impedes the possibilities for an effective and facilitated search.
Archival records and knowledge in communities of practice are commonly related to administrative units, such as parishes and municipalities. End users, however, are often not allowed to explore the material on this basis. Moreover, such access is complex because administrative units frequently change over time and archival systems rarely provide a rich time-space context. Most existing digital archives do not allow the user to add or bookmark information in the system. As the amount of digital material steadily increases, an easier way to conduct investigations of archives has become a necessity.
The QVIZ project started with the goal to bring users a single entry point to the archives of Europe. It was designed as a common starting point that allows browsing of the archival resources through time and space using a dynamic map or contextual categories. The map interface locates the resources without the user needing to know in which language the resource is kept or which institution holds the records. In addition, QVIZ provides an environment for collaborative knowledge building with social bookmarking for interested users.
During the first year of the project, activities focused on underlying research, constructing a technical framework, system requirements and specifications as well as prototype design. In the second year, the focus changed to integration of the different parts of the platform. Finally, QVIZ presented a third integrated prototype with fine-tuned the knowledge models and integral environments.
The QVIZ consortium consisted of seven partners from universities, archival institutions and companies from Sweden, Austria, Estonia, Spain and the UK.
Digital Archival Resources are rapidly reaching a critical mass and can be accessed instantly. Yet, access is not enough. Complex systems used to organize and present archival information restricts easy access. Also, archives institutions generally underestimate the potential of user communities to contribute to knowledge building. This is a common situation for cultural heritage (CH) institutions in Europe
Administrative units are traces of power structures and ruling forces moving over land and time. The necessity for these forces to legalise and control is manifested in records, treaties, etc. Safekeeping the information was a matter of legitimacy and identity in societies of rising complexity. This complexity is mirrored in the systematisation of archival holdings. Archives material is a main source of information on historical processes and the role of safekeeping is changing as the archives are becoming an indispensable part of the informational society
QVIZ is a collaborative time and map-based environment for accessing digital archival resources by making use of administrative units and building on the knowledge contributed by Communities of Practice (CoP). QVIZ will research and create a framework for visualizing and querying archival resources based on time-spatial and community contexts and for knowledge building using social software and knowledge technologies to contextualize these resources based on maps, Administrative units and knowledge from CoP
QVIZ will result in an increased number of subscribers to archival resources and in the creation of new markets through broadening the commercial use of CH-content. Social software and knowledge technologies will promote user-enhanced, highly accessible and better-used CH-content
The tools provided by QVIZ will serve as platforms for broad discussions and wider perspectives on European historical processes, on identity forming and on the forces behind inclusion and exclusion in European societies
