TourML exploration

[ajwecker]

We have had student projects running over the past year which involved converting our MobileMuseumApp to use TourML.

The project had 4 main outputs 

1) A TAP compatible TourML file  to run content from the museum See http://pilproj.cri.haifa.ac.il/tap-web-app/

2) An extended tourml input file for our MobileMuseumApp written in GWT. See http://pilproj.cri.haifa.ac.il/pilsim/ + instructions how to use simulator

3) A list of possible extensions to TOURML See below

3) A new schema VisitML to record data recovered from the playing of the TOURML file, item such as what assets were played/used, in what order, etc.. Contact me for more data

TourML possible extensions

Allow subsets of tours from a meta-tourml file

On Tour object

Falk type associated with Tour (purpose)

Is this tour appropriate for groups

Coordinates for navigation

Time needed for stop (average min, max)

Orientation (how do you face near the stop North West East West or multiple)

context dependencies

I would be interested to see more about this. I’m wondering if there isn’t a better option such as the Experience API - http://www.adlnet.gov/tla/experience-api/ that could be used to track this? Are there specific uses that are not covered by existing technologies?

Thanks,

Glen

The problem is the spec is in Hebrew.

However I think from a quick look the major difference is the tighter linking to tourml.

The objects are

metadata - (is this an actual visit or a planned visit, context, visitor demographics, connections to other visits, etc...)

events (connected to stops and assets)

activities (connected to stops and assets) which have a duration

recommendations  (connected to stops and assets)

ratings, feedback  (connected to stops and assets)

I will try to get more on this out before Museum and Web
