Multimedia Annotation of Geo-Referenced Information Sources
We present a solution to the problem of allowing collaborative construction and fruition of annotations on georeferenced information, by combining three Web-enabled applications: a plugin annotating multimedia content, an environment for multimodal interaction, and a WebGIS system. The resulting system is unique in its offering a wealth of possibilities for interacting with geographically based material
Multimedia Annotation through WebGIS and Mobile Devices: Wireless Infrastructure Project for the UNESCO Site in Cerveteri – Italy
In this paper we present an original integration of technologies. The main objectives of the general project for the
UNESCO site of Cerveteri are: solutions that integrate survey techniques and organize data in the GIS - called
Sistema Informativo Territoriale Archeologico Ceretano (SITAC) - dedicated to this case study; accessibility and
fruition of a complex archaeological area within a continous intervention process; offer the general public, researchers,
and managers an important cognitive base that integrates multimedia and geographic scientific data
through remote or on-site interaction with the SITAC. The proposed system is based on the integration of data
communication and LBS devices connected in the wireless network with multimedia and multimodal characteristics
in the archaeological area. This innovative and powerful solution - called MA(geo)RIS Multimedia Annotation
of Geo-Referenced Information Sources - will allow collaborative construction and fruition of annotations made
by users on georeferenced information by combining three web-enabled applications: a plug-in annotating multimedia
content (MadCow), an environment for multimodal interaction (Chambre), and the WebGIS application
(MapServer). The resulting system is unique in its offering a wealth of possibilities for interacting with geographically
based material especially where there is a high quantity of resources in a complex site
