«Datacloud 2.0»
«DataCloud 2.0» is an information space containing a vast collection of media-objects. Each media-object is of a specific type—image, video, text, 3D model, sound file—and has its own characteristics. These characteristics (meta-data) are used for organizing and querying the information space. Users perceive the entire information space as a ›cloud‹ through which they can ›fly‹ and which they can reorganize as desired. After an examination of their meta-data, objects in the cloud can be viewed and added to personal collections and storylines. Authorized users can add, edit and delete objects. This functionality, combined with a newsgroup facility, makes «DataCloud 2.0» an effective information tool that can support a community.
