R04Digital ToolThe projects are the digital narratives web pages created and published with the tools by the SO-CLOSE pilots, in the project’s framework, and by the institutions using the tools, in the future.Open Access.
Available to any user through the Memory Center Platform
Research
R05Software/DocumentalThe SO-CLOSE tools are three web-based software prototypes, produced in WP3, that allow to create and publish digital cultural heritage narratives as individual projects.
They provide an authoring component (back-end) to upload and describe atomic content, compose complex content with different display modules (at least five different modules for each tool) and an API to perform content interoperability with the MCP.
They also provide three sharing environments (front-end) the interactive story map, the immersive web doc and the participatory virtual exhibition, all integrating accessibility and multi-language features.
Replicability to other CIs (outside SO-CLOSE) dealing with refugees (similar purpose). Free invitation to use SO-CLOSE tools and feed them with content.

R06Software/Documental“The Memory Center Platform is a sw prototype produced in WP3, it will be the central Content Manager for SO-CLOSE project contents and will be responsible to:
Store the atomic contents (image, video, text etc) created with Tools software in pilots sites
Provide a user interface to search, show and update the atomic content Interact with the external SW components to crawl specific internet web site and social media data getting additional related contents.”

Research
R07Software/DocumentalThe YouTube crawler, the twitter crawler, the websites crawler and the semantics component are software prototypes produced in WP3. The crawlers will be responsible for retrieving online data from social media platforms and websites, thus all sorts of multimedia will be collected that do not violate any copyright infringement laws and possibly form datasets. Additionally, the semantic component will unify incoming information under ontologies from atomic and complex content and construct the knowledge graph of SO-CloseBoth the SW part and the user manual are open-sourced and downloadable HERE MANUAL and HERE MEMORY CENTRE PLATFORM crawlerCivic society
