CHEST

CHEST (Cultural Heritage Educational Semantic Tool) is an application to support the creation and reuse of educational experiences related to cultural heritage around the world. The aim is to enable teachers to use the information to carry out activities with their students, in the classroom or in various locations of interest.

The application uses Linked Open Data (LOD) to automatically generate places of interest and educational tasks. It also stores teachers' annotations in the same format. This data is accessible to the whole community.

This realisation use case has been developed as part of the doctoral thesis of the GSIC/EMIC research group formed by engineers and educators from the School of Telecommunications Engineering, the School of Computer Engineering and the Faculty of Education and Social Work of the University of Valladolid. In addition, this app won first prize in the ‘Educational resource’ category of the 7th edition of the open data competition of the Junta de Castilla y León.
