SLIDEFINDER: herramienta docente para clasificar, buscar y compartir imágenes en soporte electrónico

Abstract

This paper outlines the joint project developed by
 the University of Cantabria and the Non Government
 Association “Educación para la Solidaridad Grupo Brezo” in
 order to develop a software tool to classify, search and find
 images thru the World Wide Web. The main idea of the project
 implies the digitalization, storage and sharing of more than
 80,000 slides of different themes (landscapes, people, folklore,
 history, natural disasters, etc.) made along 40 years by the
 members of Brezo all over the word. This kind of images can be
 of interest for educational, E-learning and research purposes.
 An open source platform based in PHP and MySQL has been
 chosen in order to develop the application shown here, the
 engine has been implemented under “friendly user” philosophy
 and it is self-explicative, the above mentioned features make the
 software an interesting tool easy to use by users at any level.
