Concept Outline: Heritage Resource AppTuesday, 5 July 2011

Basic Concept: The purpose of this app is to provide a server based 
search app that provides users with a list of sites within a selected 
search area. These will be selected from a list of environmental, 
cultural or historical heritage sites as defined by the user within a 
user-determined search radius from the location of the phone.

Function Outline: When the user activates the app, the phone reports its 
gps location to the server, along with the selected search criteria. The 
server plots the phone on a virtual map and checks for gps site tags 
within the selected radius, filtering as appropriate. Data packets 
attached to these tags are then returned to the users' phone.

Categories:The app will have three distinct categories with a selection 
of sub-categories within each. Search options should include a variable 
distance selection ranging from 1 km out to 100 km, with a number of 
units in between.

Environmental: Programs, Sites, Tours

Cultural: Local Societies, Galleries, ?

Historical: Museums, Sites, Trails

Data Packets:Data packets will contain an image of the site, a small 
descriptive passage, a street address and a link to a web-site where 
appropriate. Packets will be tagged and indexed by gps location.

Business Model: Commercial Operators: Pay an annual fee per data packet 
registered.

Not-for-Profit Operators: Allocated a number of free data packets plus 
an option to purchase more at a reduced rate.

Users: Pay a single fee to download the app.
