Dear all,
At the 50th CIDOC CRM SIG meeting, I presented a prototype web
application (meeting topic "A pedagogical graph-based visualization
tool for CRM") for users to learn to model using an interactive graph
when given modeling tasks.
The original prototype was never followed up, but as part of a thesis
I'm writing, I revisited the idea and spent some time developing a
successor, with an increased focus on a task system where tasks are
divided into several exemplary levels of varying difficulty, and a
system that allows users to search & explore relevant parts of the
documentation without leaving the application.
To evaluate this application, I am now looking for willing and helpful
testers to see if this gamified approach works for understanding the
basic concepts of the CRM, and if the ubiquitous, searchable
documentation tool within the application encourages exploration of
the available classes and properties of the CRM.
If you have time and are interested, the hosted web application is
currently available here:
https://cidoc-crm-insight.pages.dev/
As this is also my first post to the mailing list, I hope I have not
disturbed its peace and that this message finds its readers.
All the best and many thanks,
Kai Niebes

PS: Due to the focus of my thesis, the application is strictly
intended as an educational modeling tool, not as a general modeling
tool, therefore no import or export functionality of any kind is
included.

Additional notes for the interested reader:
* The code will be released under an open source license sometime in
September when I finish my thesis.
* The main frameworks used to develop the web application are Angular
and Cytoscape.JS.
* I would also like to test & evaluate the application with students
unfamiliar with the CRM, but it is the semester break right now.
