Objective
The proposed take-up action has two different aspects:
First, it intends to use the results (Info-Kiosk and CD-ROM) as promotional vehicles for the opening of a new Islamic branch of the Benaki museum, highlighting, by means of the new technologies, the exhibited items and making them accessible to a large number of citizens and specialists across the EU.
Second, and in order to make this pluralist access vision possible, it will contribute to the long standing policy objectives (as these have defined by the IST framework) concerning the digitisation of archaeological and cultural items, especially to the regularisation of the relevant standards.
Objectives:
The E- ISLAM project has the following objectives:
Social / Scientific:
(a) Use its results as a promotional vehicle towards the opening of the new branch of the Benaki museum.
(b) Contribute to the EU Social objective of a society which shows mutual respect and appreciation of different cultures, ethnic and religious minority groups.
(c) Contribute to the expansion of Islamic studies across the EU, and Greece especially
Technological
(d) Contribute to the long - standing policy objectives (as defined by the IST policy framework) of digitisation of cultural and archaeological items.
(e) Contribute to the policy objectives of regularization of the specifications, formats and standards for the 3- dimensional digitisation of archaeological and cultural items (as defined by the IST policy framework).
(f) Contribute to the solution of the standing problems concerning information retrieval, metadata structural specifications, and other fields related to I&K handling.
Work description:
The presence of a limited number of partners (in close physical proximity to each other) should guarantee a frictionless co-operation between the technological experts and the content providers. This is one of the major strengths of the consortium, given the fact that the two partners have already had successful co-operation in the relevant fields.
Throughout the development process, user interfaces, 3D digitisation of items, and the practical aspects of the operation of the Info - Kiosk will be commented by Professional and Consumer user representatives and corrective actions will be taken in order to optimise user - friendliness and user acceptance level and speed. This will lay the foundations of a user - friendly technology approach, in accordance to the IST framework policy priorities.
The project is structured based on the experience of large scale software engineering projects, including three iterative cycles within its development process.
Four Work plan milestones are sequentially defined to monitor the succinct adherence to the contribution objectives:
(a) Initially the system is specified and a conceptual design is drawn.
(b) The project adopts a rapid prototype development scheme, starting the development work with a visual prototype, resembling graphical design and application structure, however without functionality. This will allow for early user feedback about the application and for having available an environment for integration and testing of functional components from the very beginning of the development process \ (Milestone M1, Prototype Validation\).
(c) Once the structure of E-ISLAM has been consolidated through the visual prototype evaluation, the core work of the project, system development and implementation starts. Since highly specialised tasks are necessary in order to develop the full functionality of E-ISLAM, a focusing of single partners on single tasks has been enforced as much as possible.
Milestones:
(1) Consistent, Complete and Flexible Management
(2) Expecting concrete dissemination, clustering and Business planning.
(3) User Requirements, Profiling, Clustering & Metadata Final Report
(4) Database specification of historic people groups and characters
(5) M1: Prototype Validation
(6) M2: System Validation
(7) A consolidated Textual Reference Database\
(8\) M3: Evaluated System
