• Links between items: similarity measures
• Background links: Wikipedia, other articles
The aim is to produce
Richer experiences when browsing
collections
Implementation: Prototype 1
1. Item + narrative
2. Path navigation
3. Social features
4. Exploration starting points
Implementation
1. Standard vocabularies
2. Visual topics
3. Explore by tag cloud
