Abstract

The wide adoption of wireless technologies has modified the typology of services that can be offered by information systems. Mobile users need ad-hoc information based on location and usage context, in order to minimize network usage and achieve service efficiency and effectiveness. This paper presents an information architecture providing context-aware and location-based contents to users exploring a museum and/or related archaeological excavations. While moving around, users are equipped with a client device and their position is precisely detected through RFID technology. Thus the system is able to suggest to the user specific multimedia contents. The system offers the user with a constant association between objects of interest and the place they were recovered from the excavation. Thus the visitor inside a museum room (“IN”) can have a visualization or a hypothetical reconstruction of the place of recovery and, visiting the excavation (“OUT”), he/she can have information about the objects found.
