Dynamic E-Journal: Making reading interactive

Start with what looks like a typical journal article

e.g. Paper from recent tests in Japan.

Can someone do more than just read it ? Manipulate the data.

inDEED & an “interactive e-Journal”? – it seems close already!

Hypertext to indicate

Hyperfigures

Clicking starts investigative or interactive process for the reader…

Clicking a floor plan brings up a data set menu…

Another example at the sub-

assembly level:

Sub-Assembly Level

Damage Photos for Wall X

Data Sets Available:•Uplift•Hold Down Rod Forces•Shear Deformation•Damage Photographs

- Shake 1- Shake 2- Shake 3- Shake 4- Shake 5

Could this be an extension of inDEED ?

• Could cameras with GPS provide the necessary metadata automatically ?

• Is there metadata coding that could be put in place prior to the experiment ?– We do this anyway just to keep track of sensors

• Could the filenames simply create the linkage with sensors?

Just a thought…

Thank you!
