CULTOS - Cultural Units of Learning - Tools and Services Information Society Technologies Project No. IST 2000-28134

The overall objective of CULTOS was to develop new knowledge-aware multimedia authoring and presenting tools for non-technical experts, for cross-media integration of cultural multimedia artefacts. These objectives include: • Adaption and development of end-user tools, system tools and integration tools that support autonomous, portable meta data objects. • Definition of an ontology for the domain of cultural studies/literary science, which will be proposed as a standard methodology for intertextual work. • Specification and implementation of the properties of autonomous portable meta-data objects (Enhanced Multimedia Meta Objects - EMMOs). • Delivery/deployment of these objects in different publishing scenarios. • Specification and implementation of support tools for publishing workflows. • Building showcases of cultural knowledge about European culture.
