The visitor is free to choose his own words, and at any time is in full command of the steps he may be inspired to take on his trip around the international, pluri-disciplinary museum landscape, whereby he may discover new and even surprising correlations between the artefacts “on show”, their history, meanings, motives and values.
=== Let us assume === Let us assume that the adventurous tour starts with a local museum object. Once picked at the click of a mouse, the system would display the object on the high-resolution colour screen. After having explored different aspects offered along with the picture in the information package, he is invited to browse in a special window featuring a maximum of 50 everyday life keywords that have been attributed to the object in the course of the distributed input process. In these keywords, not only the proper meaning and background of the object is reflected, but also its sensitive and associative potential.
The user then picks and clicks out of the pool a set of terms which he associates most with the object. The system will prompt with a choice of objects out of the common pool that matches with these keywords. The display then is a set of minipictures along with the terms which caused the selection of the new pictures. These ones can now be enlarged, one by one, and their corresponding information and multimedia background can be explored. Each point of interest may then serve as a starting point to further navigation, and further gathering of information.
