Electronic Cultural Atlas Initiative (ECAI)
Berkeley - Brisbane - Cambridge MA - Columbus OH - London - Sydney - Taipei
Supplied note:
"The Electronic Cultural Atlas Initiative (ECAI) is an international
research project aimed at the creation of distributed,
spatially referenced, GIS-style cultural databases which can be
accessed seamlessly across the Internet from a common front-end
software. The ECAI project initiated in 1996 and headed by Lewis
Lancaster, Buddhist Program, Univ. of California at Berkeley
constitutes a new dimension in academic research, applications of
digital and networked technologies and international collaboration. At
present (Sep 1999) approx. 200 area specialists from ECAI Atlas Teams
(now comprising Ancient Palestine; Austronesia; Caucasus;
China; Circumpolar; Eurasian Nomads; Japan; Korea; Mexico; North
America; Silk Road; South Asia; Southeast Asia) in conjunction with
ECAI Technical Teams, are producing an interactive electronic atlas of
the world from which selected data from regions, eras, and disciplines
can be instantaneously accessed."
