ABSTRACT:This paper reports on the effort we made in adapting and opening a specialist tool, focused on illumination and designed purposely for scholars and researchers, in order to be suitable also for the general public. We describe the ongoing process we are conducting: the adaptation and the improvement of the IPSA digital archive using the results we collected after several sessions of user interviews, following suggestions of both scholars and simple users. We discuss user studies dynamics, that we consider as a loopinteraction, and the consequences that they entail upon the system design.
This paper reports on the original approach envisaged for the evaluation of a digital archive accessible through a Web application, in its transition from an isolated archive to an archive fully immersed in a new adaptive environment.
The paper reports on the effort of reconsidering the characteristics of the IPSA online collection of illuminated images created for specialised users, involving the redesigning of the interaction functions to make the online collection of interest for new and diverse user categories. The effort is part of the design and development of a new adaptive and dynamic environment that aims at increasing user engagement with cultural heritage collections and which is taking place in the context of the European CULTURA project 1 .
Abstract. This paper reports on the results of a study that aims to support end users of a multimedia system that manages a digital cultural heritage collection. The system is provided with automatic tools that simulate the behavior of the research method adopted by professional users when they interact with the multimedia application. The experimental results have been obtained using a multimedia application that manages the digital representation of historical botanical manuscripts.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
