Constructing digital museum grid for science popularization exhibition
The exhibition of China Science and Technology Museum needs to exhibit the specimens of the digital museums and demonstrate the grid technology in a vivid way which meets the requirements from visualization, interaction and multimedia. This paper designs a method of constructing digital museum grid for the purpose of science popularization, based on the existing work of China Education and Research Grid. The method presented here is composed of three steps. Firstly, the human-computer interface and interaction for the science popularization exhibition is designed. Then a way of sharing digital specimen resources is given. Finally, we establish the digital museum grid system for science popularization in the grid environment. The status shows that the exhibition is working very well in China Science and Technology Museum, and has received recognition from users.
