STEAD Database Outline WP2Outline
  • Objectives
  • To provide a concise synoptic view of the
    evolution and use of electronic domestic goods
  • To be utilised as a reference tool within the
    classroom
  • Function
  • Demonstrate the related structures between social
    and gender studies, industrial design and science
    and technology
  • Allow children to draw their own interpretations
    and create their own informed opinions
  • The information available will be under several
    headings
  • History/timeline
  • Functionality
  • Technological Influences
  • Sociological Influences
  • Future of evolution
  • Convergences

STEAD Database Outline WP2Considerations
  • Audience
  • Multi-lingual
  • Age range of 6 14
  • Complexity of design and navigation
  • Minimum use of text other visuals should be
    relied upon
  • Technical Issues
  • Available as an extension of the STEAD website
    and CD-ROM
  • Design
  • Incorporate aspects of design from the website
  • Develop a visual identity for the entire project

STEAD Database Outline WP2Content
  • Literature-based and web-based research conducted
    by UNIBRAD (WP1-T1)
  • Convergence
  • Highlighted by use of hyperlinks to develop a
    visual matrix
  • Word Definitions
  • Use of rollovers or hyperlinks
  • Volume of text
  • Relevant and concise, in accessible sections
  • References and sources
  • Accessible to those who wish to explore them

STEAD Database Outline WP2Navigation and
Ergonomics
  • Use of icons
  • To signify audio clips, menus, search engines,
    help pages
  • Exploring the Database
  • Drop-down categories menu and a search facility
  • Categorisation of Domestic Electrical Goods
  • Explicit categorisation (e.g. brushing and
    cooking) and implicit categorisation (e.g.
    hygienic devices)
  • Audio
  • Short, relevant audio clips desirable
  • External Links
  • Subtly integrated where relevant

STEAD Database Outline WP2Database Management
  • Database data stored as XML (Extensible Markup
    Language)
  • The information is extracted from the XML file
    using a java applet embedded with an HTML page
  • This is formatted to give the text structure
    using XSLT (Extensible Style Language for
    Transformations a template based programming
    language)
