Abstract

Raising audience awareness over the creation and evolution of a cultural participatory digital platform is a critical point for its acceptance. The proposed platform adopts user involvement in the content collection level through the implementation of a mobile application easily downloadable to the user’s smartphone and the use of a web portal application. Complementary web portal permits the management of the collected content in a trustworthy manner adopting an extended role-based access control model for authorization purposes. Users can formulate private groups to contribute and share content. Platform guarantees the soundness of contributed content through an auditing procedure requested by the contributors and conducted by experts selected randomly. In order to stress the applicability of our platform to various cultural environments, we present a number of usage scenarios targeting various stakeholders from specialists and museum curators to students, teachers and simple enthusiasts aiming in the development of coherent narrations.
