Abstract or Description

Multiuser museum interactives are computer systems installed in museums or galleries that allow several visitors to interact together with digital representations of artefacts and information from the museum's collection. WeCurate is such a system that allows users to collaboratively create a virtual exhibition from a cultural image archive. It provides a synchronised image browser across multiple devices to enable a group of users to work together to curate a collection of images. WeCurate uses electronic institutions to coordinate and synchronise the interactions between individuals, and it relies on agreement technologies (such as argumentation and computational social choice) for collective decision making. This paper provides an overview of theWeCurate application, describes its underlying electronic institution, and presents a brief introduction to its collective-decision-making mechanism.
