Milestone Report for Sprint #3

ANALYSIS DOCUMENT (CLOSED ON 8TH OF MAR)

This milestone consists of the issues – successfully closed - stated below. The main aim in this milestone was about to provide an extended analysis document that is including mock-up design with realistic data, updated requirements elicitation and insight of coding.

• 1- “Icon for Herodot”
• 2- “Mock Up Interface Design for Website”
• 3- “Deciding on Cultural Heritage Items and Attributes”
• 4- “Hypothesis and Europeana Hands on Experience to Work on Requirements Elicitiation and Mock Up Details”
• 5- “Web Annotation Data Model Research”
• 6- “Mock Up Design with Regards to Interface Design for Mobile App”
• 7- “Requirements Elicitation”

As the design concept we followed to create mock-ups for both mobile and web ends. We decided to use this mobile presentation tool named InvisionApp to present our mock up work. The main dilemma was to refine the requirements properly in order to create a proper mock-up design where all the features are stated correctly and satisfying. We also opened an issue to discuss and find a midpoint to decide our project’s icon. We finalized the icon with the most voted one. We created this issue named “Requirements Elicitation” to discuss and to come up with the questions first. Once the online requirements document has been uploaded we all gathered around with new ideas and added them orderly.
We have prepared some questions to throw ideas and knit-picking process in class. The answers were really helpful for us to have a concrete idea about the application. Ms. Uskurdarli has explained what is required from the project from a customer’s eye. We decided to go on and research Wed Annotation Data Model and came up with the idea of limit our scope to not to over engineer. We have found multiple – over 15 – sources to gather information including Web Annotation Protocol Server Implementation with Java Spring. After sharing lots of research links we have decided to create a “Research” section as a part of project’s index and started to collect them as a consolidated research. The draft of the research on web annotation is done by using a web annotation tool and saved under an online CMS system to have a prior practice to be wikified with the findings agreed as a team. Hypothesis and Europeana sources are shared to be investigated for benchmarking on an issue. A profile and a group on cultural heritage is created on hypothesis, so group members could have hands on experience and benchmark with existing solutions. As a result of the mock up design phase both heritage items and attributes are investigated to be included in the document. The research done on determining cultural heritage categories and properties are compiled under the associated wiki page. We have presented the whole document and designs on the class. The milestone successfully closed on the 8th of March in order to move on to the next work package.
