Technical approach
The MICHAEL project will take the following technical approach:
- Install a first deployment (instance) of the Michael platform
is set in AJLSM in France. This first instance shall be open to
all partners for review and feedback. The MICHAEL platform will
initially be a copy of the platform used on the French
inventory website, but with content describing the MICHAEL project.
A sample data set using the MICHAEL data model will be used to populate
the site and to allow testing of search and retrieve tools.
- Minor changes to the user interface are expected to take place,
on the basis of feedback from the partners. However, this modification
is anticipated to be slight; the existing interface has already
been through user acceptance testing for its current installation.
- Dedale and AJLSM will create guides for localization and data
mapping, including full details of the data model as it implements
the NRG guidelines.
- Following initial testing, the major technical effort of the project
will begin – the installation, localisation and population
of the national MICHAEL instances and their linking to a trans-European
MICHAEL portal.
- A working instance of the MICHAEL portal will be installed
in Italy, in France, and in the UK. The French instance will
be in addition to the ‘development’ instance used
in AJLSM.
- Each national partner will then localize their own national
portal into their own language.
- National cultural material shall be used to populate the
national instances, conforming always to the MICHAEL data model
as implemented by AJLSM on foot of the NRG guidelines.
- Mappings shall be established between existing national databases
and the MICHAEL data model.
- The mappings shall be used to import the national databases
into MICHAEL or to allow the MICHAEL portal to query or harvest
the national databases.
- The data importation and data model population will lead
to a large, distributed data base spread across multiple countries
but conforming to the interface defined for the MICHAEL data
model.
- A central MICHAEL portal will be established by AJLSM and
Dedale. This will resemble the national portals except that
it will not contain any country-specific background material.
Its content will be available in all three languages (English,
French, Italian). It will provide inventory services which allow
search and retrieval operations over all the national MICHAEL
instances.
- The guidelines produced for localisation and data mapping
will be updated to reflect the experience of the project.
