Introduction

• Purpose
• to describe the CUSPIS Cultural Asset Fruition
  (CAF) demonstrator that will developed in the 3rd
  phase of the project.
• to present the environment in which the trials
  will be conducted (Athens, Greece).
• to design the wider CAF architecture considering
  the existing technologies and identified needs.
• Main objective
• to prove that Galileo based infrastructure,
  integrated with other key technologies, can
  establish an overall reference scheme that can
  boost the Fruition of Cultural Assets.

Assesment of the CUSPIS CAF applications (1/2)

• Previous work demonstrated that there are key
  aspects of the user needs, characteristics and
  requirements
• Galileo enablers/differentiators
• Improved accuracy through the GALILEO receiver
• Improved availability in challenging urban
  environments (urban canyons)
• Indoor availability
• Altitude accuracy will be examined among PoIs
  that share the same longitude and latitude
• Authentication of CAs
• Cooperation of Galileo with GPS and other
  positioning methods (hybridization)
• Target Market Segment Mobile users who travel
  for various purposes (tourism, business, etc.)
• Multi-lingual support
• Travel-centric Use of Service Pre-Travel,
  On-Travel, After-Travel
• Cultural Traveler User Scenarios The service
  specification should be based on specific user
  scenarios

7
Assesment of the CUSPIS CAF applications (2/2)

• Content non-cultural content should also be
  delivered
• Emergency, Local Authorities, Entertainment,
  Banks, Exchange houses, Transportation, Shopping
• Content Presentation
• Different levels of detail
• Should be based on multimedia
• Service Performance Terminal types, network
  performance (e.g. GPRS/UMTS), content format
  (video, picture, text), etc.
• Interactive Service Philosophy simple and
  efficient interaction mechanisms
• Positioning The positioning accuracy and
  availability should be taken into account
  especially indoors, in order to properly adapt
  the information that will be provided to the user
• Privacy privacy issues, which the system should
  be able to maintain and guarantee
• Pricing Scheme
• User awareness of the charging schemes
• The applied pricing should fit the user
  understanding based on pricing schemes applied
  to similar types of services
• Complex pricing schemes may deter users from
  using the service

• DATA REQUIREMENTS
• FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS
• QUALITY OF SERVICE

Cultural Asset Fruition system idea description

• This application targets
• the Tourists
• Cultural and Tourism Organizations
• Many services could be enhanced by the satellite
  location, time and velocity information provided
  by Galileo, in order to offer
• Accurate Positioning, Optimized Routing, Visits
  planning, Tourist guiding
• Various similar applications have been already
  developed
• Issues to be improved with Galileo
• Discontinuity of monitoring
• Lack of indoor positioning
• Altitude accuracy
• Integration of several technologies for
  positioning (GNSS, RFID, etc) and for
  communication (3G etc)
• CAs authentication
• To add to the CAs a 4th dimension using Galileo
  timestamp time

User Scenarios

• Pre-Travel Scenario
• Step 1 Registration
• Step 2 Selection
• Step 3 Cultural content presentation
• Step 4 PoI selection
• On-Travel Scenario
• Step 1 Accessing the service
• Step 2 Positioning
• Step 3 Cultural content presentation
• Step 4 Selecting a PoI
• Step 5 Receiving relevant content
• After-Travel Scenario

13
Service Distribution Channels (1/4)

• CAF - Internet Based Application
• Wireless networks
• Commercially Available Wireless Networks (e.g.
  GPRS/UMTS/WLAN)
• Complentary info will be pushed through (SMS,
  MMS)
• Future Available Networks (WiMAX, HSDPA)
• Wired Networks (e.g. LAN, DSL, etc.)
• Apllicable for pre-travel and after-travel
  scenarios

DATA REQUIREMENTS (1/4)

• Content Forms
• Text / Rich Text
• Photo material by qualified photographers,
  experienced on the cultural assets and civil
  scene photography.
• Maps Dynamically created active maps.
  Integration with GIS.
• GIS
• Provides dynamic geographical maps of a requested
  area
• Combines layers of information about a place.
  Presents points of interests (layers) on the map
• Enables
• Proximity searches and neighboring searches
• Distance calculation
• Multi-modal routing (calculation of optimised
  routes)
• Map rendering for mobile Devices

18
DATA REQUIREMENTS (2/4)

• 3D Images Integrate 3D images and
  reconstructions of cultural assets with the
  Galileo timestamp.
• To add to the cultural assets published by CUSPIS
  CAF a 4th dimension time
• Video / Sound
• Users might be concerned of the high price that
  video and audio may impose and also of the
  available bandwidth
• Although sound and video streams will not be
  included in the initial form of the service, all
  the means for inclusion of such content in future
  versions of CUSPIS CAF will be provided
• The migration of the service to 3G networks may
  render attractive the provision of video and
  sound streams to the end user

19
DATA REQUIREMENTS (3/4)

• Ontologies
• Our goal is to hierarchically structure the
  cultural information
• Initially, we will do that based on some
  predefined categories
• The advantages of the application of ontologies
  in the CH sector are
• Great flexibility in cultural information objects
  utilization
• Ease, intelligent and intuitive search and
  updates of cultural information
• Adaptation and Customization to needs of users
• Facilitation of learning
• Better communication and cooperation
  (interoperabilty) among institutions and among
  systems

20
DATA REQUIREMENTS (4/4) - Centrica

• Digital Rights Management
• Digital Rights Management Systems (DRMs) are
  technologies that describe and identify digital
  content protected by intellectual property
  rights, and enforce usage rules set by
  right-holders or prescribed by law for digital
  content. DRMs are thus an important complement to
  the legal framework.
• Within the frames of the CUSPIS CAF demonstrator
  Centricas XLPhoto will be used. XLphoto is a
  unique server solution for the Digital Asset
  Management and Digital Right Management of image
  archives.
• XLphoto incorporates several unique features
  available in a web environment
• integrates a sophisticated DRM (Digital Right
  Management) for IPR protection
• enables users to zoom images with CENTRICA's
  Image serving technology
• centrally stores images in a single file per
  image and their metadata
• automatically search the Web and reports when it
  finds watermarked images for IPR enforcement

21

• Network Coverage
• Mobility of the user
• Display capabilities
• Underlying network (throughput, delay)
• Content availability-quality-format
