Culture Globe wins EuropeanaTech2011 Hackathon
10/10/2011
We are happy to announce that our joint entry Culture Globe won first prize at the EuropeanaTech Hackathon.
EuropeanaTech is the final conference of the EU project EuropeanaConnect and is organised in collaboration with the Europeana Foundation. It explores technical challenges of making digital cultural and scientific information attractive and easily accessible for the public. The hackathon at EuropeanaTech completed the conference by generating prototypes and code contributions to Europeana services and exploring the potential of open cultural data.
Culture Globe allows for the spatio-temporal browsing through the Europeana metadata with a 3D globe visualization in a web browser. Cultutre Globe is open source and builds on open data.
Culture Globe was developed by Petr Pridal (Klokan Technologies), Rainer Simon (Austrian Institute of Technology), Anja Jentzsch (Freie Universität Berlin), Ulrike Krabo (Austrian Library Network and Service Ldt.), Elaheh Momeni (University of Vienna - Faculty of Computer Science).
