Evolution Projects+ is to develop an integrated repository of digital, cultural content, which will be fully available to the general public, without any restriction as to its availability, display and retrieval on a web portal in line with Europeana standards.
The object of the project is the production, digitization, documentation and deposition of the folklore material of the Municipality of Mandra-Idyllia, in accordance with international good practices and specifications, as well as the availability of this material through a web services platform that will be developed entirely by our company’s developers.
In the framework of the project “DIGITAL TRAVEL IN THE CULTURAL MATERIAL OF MANDRAS – EIDYLIA” Evolution Projects+ is going to digitize through 3D representations, more than 35 rare devices and tools for the production of folk costumes, such as cutter machines, looms and more than 35 Greek traditional costumes. At the same time, Evolution Projects+ will provide after the end of the project the possibility of a 3D tour in the hall of the municipality where the traditional costumes are exhibited.
The specifications that will be followed for the material to be digitised and documented have been developed by the National Documentation Centre (EKT) and have emerged on the basis of many years of national and international experience in infrastructures for open, documented, digital content, while they are based on international practices, both at the level of European countries and the EU as a whole (e-content, ICT PSP, e-infrastructure etc.a.) in European portals for the collection and distribution of particularly large-scale content (Europeana and DRIVER), as well as good examples of individual international repositories and large-scale digital content systems (Open Library of the Internet Archive, Google Books and Art Project, etc.).
The completion of the project will enable the full utilization of new technologies for the promotion and availability of digital cultural content to visitors, and the promotion of the entire project in modern social media with the creation and design of an information page and profile of the Municipality of Mandra-Eidyllia.
