Visual media service: user perspective For each visual media asset: – The user fills a simple form and uploads the data file – An automatic service on the ARIADNE server will open, convert, transform in a browsable page and output the URL (or a.zip file) to the user – The user links the media asset in his archive using the provided URL For each visual media asset: – The user fills a simple form and uploads the data file – An automatic service on the ARIADNE server will open, convert, transform in a browsable page and output the URL (or a.zip file) to the user – The user links the media asset in his archive using the provided URL

Demo

Details page for each media type Describes the media type and the services that are offered: conversion, streaming, visualisation on the web, etc.

Browse Users can search and browse the content that has already been uploaded

Uploading your media For each media asset the user fills in a simple form: – , name institution – Label, title, description, tabs, url for a page describing the asset – Copyright owner – Collection (optional) – You can ask to keep the object private Select file to upload Accept terms and conditions And upload!

ARIADNE landscape services

Landscape services These online services focus on the generation and management of 2D / 3D interactive WebGIS environments in a collaborative way, through open-source frameworks. Web services include: – Cloud services – 3D Terrain Services – Tools for visualization, interaction and editing – Distributed composing services – 2D services These online services focus on the generation and management of 2D / 3D interactive WebGIS environments in a collaborative way, through open-source frameworks.

Cloud service You can register as a single user, a research group or a whole institution Users can upload, manage and modify data involved in processing tasks (both input and output). The ARIADNE Service use ownCloud, which has been customized Services are optimized for desktop and mobile with full support for mobile and desktop clients.

3D Terrain Service: registering To start a 3D Terrain project you first need to register and log in to the Cloud service

3D Terrain Service: upload Data (DTMs/DEMs, Geo-images, ESRI shape files) for your 3D terrain project is uploaded to the Cloud service

3D Terrain Service: output Next you specify the output to control how your 3D terrain model will be generated or published

3D Terrain Service: processing The services will list your available input data Responsive web interfaces for user tasks – customization of different parameters (database resolution, extents, imagery attributes, etc.). Web servers then process the data and alert you once 3D terrain data processing has completed The services will list your available input data Responsive web interfaces for user tasks – customization of different parameters (database resolution, extents, imagery attributes, etc.). Web servers then process the data and alert you once 3D terrain data processing has completed

Landscape services: Terrain Gallery Browse sample datasets View your own datasets (when logged in)

View and download options You can also fully delete a 3D terrain and its related data (it will NOT delete the cloud input data) – but don’t delete the sample datasets!.

Embed options You can embed a 3D scene in your web-page And share the current point of view.

Talking points Ariadne was the daughter of Minos, King of Crete. She gave a all of thread to Theseus so that he could find his way out of the Minotaur's labyrinth. Our ARIADNE is a research infrastructure. We give a portal so researchers can find archaeological datasets and tools to visualise and publish their results.
