Navigating media-rich information spaces using concept graphs -- the abramovic dossier
Anton Eliëns, Chris van Riel, Yiwen Wang

abstract
Navigating media-rich information spaces usually involves switching
back and forth between categories and lists indexing the material
and the actual media presentations.
In this paper,
we describe a multidisciplinary case study of creating a digital dossier
to present a collection of artworks and related information
in a more immersive manner, using a concept graph for navigation.
The case study is done for the artworks of the
Serbian-Dutch performance artist Marina Abramovic,
in cooperation with the Dutch Institute for Cultural heritage.
In the paper, we describe the design requirements, as well as the
technical realization of the abramovic dossier.
Based on an initial user evaluation, we also indicate directions for
future research, and discuss the style criteria for the user interface
of our digital dossier(s).
