Training for innovation: data and multimedia visualization

Among the goals of the ARIADNE project (a digital infrastructure for archaeological documentation), two interrelated objectives are the design of new services (or the integration of existing ones) and the implementation of an intense training & hands-on program. Especially in the case of visual media (which are evolving at an impressing pace) services should be paired by user consultation and training, since a pre-requisite of any service activity is to consolidate knowledge on the potential of new media and the impact those could have in the selected discipline. The latter is the main objective of the TNA training program and of other user consultation events that have been organized in the first 18 months of the ARIADNE project. This short contribution presents the results of this activity and our plans for the design of new services.
