First real-life application of Wandora, built early 2000, was virtual art gallery Kiasmart consisting of digital art images, videos and text information snippets. Since then Wandora has been applied and developed in many real-life projects.
- Kiasmart
- Arppeanet
- Mediateekki & Media Archive of Kiasma
- Assembly Media Gallery 2004
- Town and Again, Images of Urban Finland
- Assembly Media Gallery 2005
Lets examine the projects more detailed.
Kiasmart
Kiasmart was first Wandora application project started 1999 and finished 2001. Kiasmart's motivation was to promote art collections of Museum of Contemporary Art Kiasma. Kiasmart was a client-server application where server built topic map daily using Kiasma's internal databases and image repository. Perhaps the most interesting feature of Kiasmart was this process of building topic map dynamically using metadata in images.
Arppeanet
Arppeanet was our second Wandora project started 2001 and finished 2003. Arppeanet was a client-server application used to exhibit
- A register of Helsinki University officials from 1700 century to early 1900 century.
- Moderate image collection of Helsinki University museum.
- Contemporary study options and study fields of Helsinki University.
Arppenet's application framework was developed during the project. For example Grip Studios Interactive's crossplatform framework PIP/GAF was integrated to Wandora. Integration enabled the service to produce more general representations of the topic map although the service still produced only HTML visualizations. The feature was never really taken into use.
Perhaps the most interesting feature learnt in this project was efficient extractions from loosely structured text fragments of Helsinki University official registry data using series of regular expressions. Here is an example of single registry record.

Extracted topic map is here. Topic map contains also specification of all types and roles.
Mediateekki & Media Archive of Kiasma
Mediatekki and Media Archive are WWW sites to promote video art collections of Contemporary Art Museum Kiasma. Media Archive is targeted for internal and research use. Mediateekki is targeted for larger audience and has much limited video base than the Media Archive.
The publishing pattern is very similar to Kiasmart system described above. The data already exists in FileMaker database and is converted to a topic map, and finally published using Piccolo-Wandora combination.
