Abstract


Xper3 is a versatile web platform dedicated to managing descriptive data and to producing interactive identification keys. This new platform gives users the ability to work simultaneously and remotely on the same knowledge base. Users can edit, analyze and share their descriptive data online. Furthermore, it allows multiple users to edit the same data concurrently (i.e. simultaneously) in a secure manner.

The Xper3 data model is closely based on the SDD (Structured Descriptive Data) format, which makes it compatible with any other application using this standard format.

To provide extended features, we have developed web services associated with Xper3 , such as:

These web services extend Xper3’s core features, and can also be used by any external software capable of querying REST web services.

Xper3 is still in development. We will demo Xper3’s collaborative features, as well as the interactive identification interface. A beta version will be released in late 2013, at www.xper3.com
