Session: Society/ Impact: Representing Civilization

Archaeologists and historians have now the ability not only to use computers and software in order to document and publish their work, but also to access it intelligently and remotely. Recent technological advances in Multimedia and WWW technology made possible the building of network centric applications that can serve their needs. Cultural heritage can be analyzed and expressed in an information rich environment and it can be delivered not only to the scientific community but also to the general public via the Internet. This paper proposes a network centric application based on Java applets that through a "parallel" user interface design serves the application requirements in an innovative way.
