Visualizing Indian Heritage Digital Library Metaphor
نویسنده
چکیده
India's most valued and revered gift not only to Herself but also to the entire humanity is its profound and timeless heritage. It is for this reason the Indian heritage is to be properly grasped, understood, documented and apprehended and made accessible to widespread audience. However, this task is not easy. In Indian context, concept of heritage is explained in detail taking into account the broader vision of humanity. A fimdamental problem associated with the new classes of visual data and their related analysis is that they focus, (despite their appearance) on abstract information, which does not automatically map onto the physical world. Thus, many interesting classes of visual information have no natural and obvious metaphorical representation. Once this is accepted, then it is necessary to visualize the complete picture of the heritage tree, that enables to express a logical flow of such tree with more authenticity, and in a metaphoric fashion to put it in digital form, with better human-computer interaction. In this research paper, effort is to bring the clarity in the structure of Indian Heritage to express it in the form of Visual Metaphor Model, while undertaking a work of creation of 'digital library (DL) of Indian heritage'.
