Portfolio - Miomi
Client: Miomi
XHTML, CSS and Javascript consultancy for Miomi, an exciting start-up taking advantage of the semantic web and creating a giant resource of the world's history.
Breaking new ground
Miomi is a groundbreaking new venture that is creating a giant resource of the world’s memories. Pulling data from various content providers Miomi allows users to browse and interact with rich media through a innovative timeline.
Overcoming technical challenges
The site is not without technical challenges and Shape Shed was engaged in the period prior to launch to iron out browser issues and to help create new functionality. Miomi pushes the boundaries of the web environment and is also helping to define what a web application should be.
An ambitious vision
Miomi was founded by three German graduates all of whom understand the potential of the Semantic Web. Miomi wants to hand history back to the people who make it. It will be a repository for the world’s memories, a memory bank for mankind, and the ultimate time-based resource. The vision is that Miomi will be the first port of call for moments of both personal and international history.
