Hokkaido Sculpture Web ant Its Educational Application

Abstract

Art-Tourism is a new tourism related to art contents these are field sculpture, music, photograph, and so on. We join in an art-tourism project in society for tourism informatics in Japan. Especially, we think a field sculpture is one of the most important cultural properties, because we might be feeling a sense of closeness to it in our life. One of our main objects is to tell culture concerning field sculpture to many people. So we are constructing Hokkaido Sculpture Web (HSW) by using XOOPS that is an open source system for community web site using PHP. XOOPS has already had basically functions for community web as modules. We construct a new module for sculpture web, we call it HSW module. HSW module has many functions they can display author information ore picture of author, and edit and update author information or exhibit place, or photograph, and, retrieval photographs. We expect to expand an art-truism to other area by using HSW module opened to public as an open source.
