Abstract

Producing the "Ships and Aircraft of the U.S. Naw interactive mutti-media database display for the U.S. Navy Memorial Visitor Center raised Interesting design problems: How should over 3,000 historical photographs and accompanying data be classified? How should these classifications be developed to anticipate the needs of a very general public audience? How will the classification system be executed in software? A careful audience analysis and a very flexible software approach ultimately yielded a successful design.
