CESAREA, Israel, Jan. 19, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- InterAge Ltd. (Pink Sheets:ITGJ), a leading provider of integrated web marketing solutions, announced today that it is participating in a consortium of companies and organizations to complete a very large virtual archiving web site.
A strategic goal of the international consortium undertaking this Virtual Memorial Project is to enable the creation of virtual archives based on documents existing in libraries, archives, museums, memorials, and public record offices. To achieve this goal, the consortium is taking documents from museums across Europe. For example, among the participating museums are former Nazi concentration camps, where documentation from World War II abounds. The Virtual Memorial Project is the first step towards the consortium's goal, focusing on computer-aided information retrieval from machine-typed documents. As the project progresses, the consortium will develop data models for the storage of retrieved information. In addition, upon successful completion of the MEMORIAL project, they plan to develop distributed virtual memorial services for navigation and information searches.
InterAge is playing an integral role in this project valued at 1.5 million Euros, with the task of developing the web site, much of the electronic marketing and monitoring tools, and the back-office management of the data collected.
"This is a major long-term project, and we're very excited about being a part of the consortium," says Kobi Freund, CEO of InterAge. "Participation in the Virtual Memorial Project is a great opportunity for InterAge to work with other teams on a complex and intricate project that has such important social benefit."
Other participants in the Virtual Memorial Project include Gesellschaft Zur Foerderung Angewandter Informatik, the Faculty of Electronics Telecommunications & Informatics, the Politechnika Gdanska of Poland, Moreshet - Holocaust Study & Research Center, Panstwowe Muzeum Stutthof and the University of Liverpool.
