Component-based Software Architecture Applied for Design of Heritage Content

Abstract

The paper designs a model for creating heritage content, composed as a combination of multiple components, thanks to the opportunities provided by a component-based software architecture. The result is the ability to annotate different types of heritage objects available in public databases, such as video, sound, image, text, 3D model, and more, to obtain meaningful content. Moreover, the “component” types that contribute to a more complete presentation of the information delivered can be constantly increased without requiring a significant change in the software environment, but only a simple configuration change.
