Visual Contextualisation of Digital Content is the focus of VICODI.
VICODI is a collaborative RTD project carried out by 7 partners from 6 European countries under the 5FP IST programme of
the European Union.
The goal of VICODI is to enhance human understanding of digital content on the internet. This will be achieved by
introducing a novel visualisation and contextualisation environment for digital content. The project will also
provide an innovative set of multilingual contextualisation mechanisms.
The VICODI contextualisation environment addresses the management of search and retrieval as well as the management
of information presentation, by:
- creating a cumulative and open knowledge space that can be enhanced by its users
- providing an innovative user interface that employs SVG for the presentation of information that has been
contextualised with respect to LOCATION, TIME, and SUBJECT.
European history is the showcase application subject that VICODI has chosen to demonstrate the viability of its
innovative information structure.
