Abstract

The fruition of the cultural heritage in the pandemic era has been stressed even more towards online and virtual environments. Usually the web site publishing process involves many competences, or the ability of the single cultural operator, which needs to become expert in many complex techniques. In the paper we present the VIEd’ARTE Project, an experience of implementation of a web publication framework supporting the work of cultural operators with tools for the data access to repositories and for the page design of the web applications. An example is shown using the VIEd’ARTE framework for the design of the virtual tour “On the trail of the Renaissance”. The publication framework of VIEd’ARTE manages different types of cultural objects and many types of presentations. The front-end side features include templates and predefined layouts, supporting a presentation model for a large public. The back-end side offers access capabilities to SQL databases, in particular to BeWEB archives, which contain data of different types of cultural heritage as-sets. The metadata layer of the BeWeb Portal allows the integration of the vari-ous data fonts. The data access model will move in the next future to allow also no-SQL databases and OAI (Open Archives Initiative) or Linked Open Data protocols to access databases.
