CHEST - GSIC

Discover local and world cultural heritage places in a different way

CHEST (Cultural Heritage Educational Semantic Tool) is an application that allows you to learn about the cultural heritage around you and in other parts of the world. From all over the world!

When you use CHEST, you will find learning tasks of different types (such as text questions, photo questions, choosing the right answer, etc.) designed by teachers in these places of cultural interest to help you learn about their details. How many can you do?

To show you descriptions and images globally (and in multiple languages!), CHEST uses open data sources such as OpenStreetMap, Wikidata and DBpedia. In addition, open regional data sources (such as those provided by the "Junta de Castilla y León") can be included to enrich this data and provide you with a higher level of detail.

CHEST is an application designed and developed within the GSIC-EMIC research group of the University of Valladolid. GSIC-EMIC is a group formed by engineers and educators with expertise in educational technology, pedagogical practice, Web of Data and educational data management. Specifically, this application is developed within the doctoral thesis of Pablo García-Zarza.
