All new project results are planned to be released as an open source project. Moreover, open architectures will always be used, to make off-the-shelf components freely interchangeable with alternative components/data. The semantic models, notation editor, the technology that translates notation input into animation scripts and into descriptive metadata, and the integration framework that allows these new tools to drive the off-the-shelf components mentioned above will all be released as an open source project.
It is our intention to explore the possibilities of the open standards and free software to make every aspect of our work available to everyone. The project webpage in SourceForge can be found here.
We've produced two publicity leaflets: the first (left) describes in more detail the academic motivation behind the project; the second emphasises the project's industrial application. Both are available here - just click on the leaflet you'd like to download.
