ELECTRONIC CULTURAL ATLAS INITIATIVE • Founded in 1997 • ECAI is a global community dedicated to enhancing digital scholarship and cultural heritage preservation by using time and space for data sharing • Collaboration with CITRIS • Global consortium of over 700 humanities scholars and IT researchers
Saving Cultural HeritageNow stolen, this picture of a Hindu site was taken in 1990 in Kathmandu when the sculpture was intact
Dynamic MapsECAI Iraq provides integrated accessto widely distributed Iraqi cultural heritage information Dynamic map containing information on Iraq and its neighbors
ECAI AND THE HUMANITIES • Allows spatial and temporal discovery and analysis: • A clearinghouse of over 1000 spatial datasets and authored maps. Records are coded by time and place and are visable on a map. • Lets scholars “show their work”: • Digital atlasesthat bring together data from many contributors pertaining to a given place. • Facilitates interactive publication: • ePublications are exemplary map-based electronic publications on cultural topics. ECAI ePublications are peer reviewed and persistent.
INDUSTRY RELATIONSHIPS • Eleven Founding Corporate Members • Three Associate Corporate Members • Two Industry Visiting Researchers • Dr. Rick McGeer, Hewlett-Packard (UCB) • Dr. Christian Sauer, Infineon (UCB)
COMMERCIALIZING CITRIS TECHNOLOGY • New Start-Up • Dust, Inc • Industry specific commercialization • Crossbow, Inc. – develops and manufactures low-cost wireless sensor networks with global connectivity • Intel – introduced new line of wireless sensors • Open source • TinyOS Operating System For Motes
CITRIS LONG-TERM GOALS • Continue to develop, test, and promote large societal scale information systems that are heterogeneous, reliable, maintainable, cost effective, and easy to use • Build bridges to new application areas and expand reach into more communities • Seed new research • Increase Institute impact in academia and industry; and visibility in public and media arenas
