Grant: Engage Grants Program
University of Prince Edward Island
$24,999.00
Cross platform enablement
EF 2011-12
Résumé
This project will create, as a prototype, a web-based, platform independent system for accessing location-based
cultural information within a defined geographical location. The system will be designed for tablet devices and
will be designed to use the geo-location capabilities of such devices to identify the users location and provide a
portal for access to relevant cultural information available in linked data archives. The result of the project will
not only be the portal system itself, but also an evaluation of the feasibility of developing cross-platform tablet
systems versus developing native applications for each tablet type.
