ORganization of Cultural HEritage for Smart Tourism and Real-time Accessibility
The project was presented as part of the National Operational Program “Research and Competitiveness” 2007-2013 (PONR&C) for the Convergence Regions, Action “Support interventions for industrial research”. The partnership that carried out the project includes 2 SMEs and 1 Research Body. The CNR Institutes involved were ICAR and IBIM. The general objective of the project was the definition of an innovative system for managing/exploiting information in a hospital environment. The purpose of this system was to offer a highly innovative approach in architecture, in the man-machine interface, in the management of automatisms and alarms related to the status and/or trend of data and processes, in the possibility of connecting to existing systems for extraction, normalization, and sharing of knowledge. The project was the result of several lines of research converging towards the definition of a system, supporting complex organizations, based on a new representation of information assets, with particular reference to the homogeneous and standard representation of medical knowledge, the virtual integration of internal and external knowledge of a health structure, the possibility of analyzing the same information bases on multiple levels (multidimension), the possibility of combining traditional methods and techniques of information retrieval with the paradigms emerging from the web experience (such as ontological research and semantic analysis). The main functionalities of the software system implemented were intended to facilitate: the representation of data with models and innovative information architectures; the definition of models and systems for health organizations; the interpretation and extraction of knowledge from heterogeneous sources, to link the “information islands” of a health organization; the integration of information components with the use of systems based on the concepts of Enterprise Service Bus and Service-Oriented Architecture/Event-Driven Architecture; the introduction of user interface systems that guide staff in the human-machine interaction process, based on visual design environments and automatic language processing technologies; the design of new classes of management applications for the overall and integrated use of information assets.
