GEANIUM - INTERACTIVE CHRONOLOGICAL VISUALISATION SYSTEM

Geanium is an online tool for presenting sequences of events (data that have moment and location defined) on the map where they happened at the time when they happend

Geanium is a system that is designed to analyse, visualise and compare historical (or any other) time-sequenced data by interpreting those data in a mathematical model. The data are arranged into timelines and the system can display events from multiple timelines on the map simultaneously.

Each event in the system can have attached multiple media files, which are accessed by "zooming in" the event to which they are attached. Geanium also supports granularity of information, enabling pan and zoom both on the map and in time to show events at variable resolution. The system is driven by user input, providing non-linear movement through the events.

Geanium uses a dynamic, vectorised, multi-layered map of the world that covers a time period from about 10,000 years BC to the present time (and beyond for announcements). The timelines, events, maps and media files are defined as digital objects within the system, and published titles are public digital objects.

Geanium uses Adobe Flash technology as the primary user interface and is available on any computer platform that supports it. Geanium Editor professional multi-user environment for preparing and publishing of e-content and published content can be viewed via the Geanium Player. Content can be published for general internet use (by embedding into existing web sites), as SCORM-compatible content for LMS or as an off-line use and for a distribution by digital media such as CDs or DVDs.

Geanium is intended for use by publishers, news and entertainment production companies, travel, tourist and event promoters, public and government offices, sports and fan clubs, and of course by educational and cultural institutions.

Geanium received the Comenium EduMedia 2009 Award together with two Seals of Approval (one for the system and another for the content) by Gesellschaft für Pädagogik und Information (GPI) in Berlin and Erasmus EuroMedia 2009 Seal of Approval and Country Award by the European Society for Education and Communication (ESEC) in Vienna.
