The InterMedia web site

What you are looking at is the fourth generation web at InterMedia. This web opens up for a closer relationship between activities within InterMedia, and between us and our partners, colleges and the public.

The web is designed as a part of an ongoing long-term research interest in online research dissemination and research communication. This generation is based on an integration of three emergent web-technologies; wikis, blogs and semantic webs.

The wiki that empowers this web is developed out of a group ware tradition, with a strong focus on group work, collective awareness, and collective knowledge production. We have moved from content management systems to participatory media, used across projects, clusters and institutionally. Thus sharing the responsibility for communication about research, and providing a more activity based account of the research.

We have been involved in several projects lately with a focus on participatory media, and wikis in particular. We have experimented and developed solutions for pupils, students and teachers, and this web is a way of eating our own dog food.

Metadata and labels are used throughout the site, providing a semi-structured database of people, products, projects and relations. This use of semantic tagging allow creation of relationships, aggregations and so forth.

The site is powered by Atlassian's Confluence wiki customised with Adaptavist's Theme Builder and is hosted by Contegix. Video streaming hosted by Influxis. Embedded video streams by flowplayer.
