Description

In this paper, we establish a link between video games and data collections. In particular, we examine video games as potential interfaces for collection exploration, i.e. as a platform for a more insightful and exploratory interaction with a repository. Furthermore, we question if a more structural relationship between the game and the collection is possible: Can we produce video games based on the structure of a repository? We explore these ideas on theoretical grounds and by means of a prototype game developed as a case study for a scientific image repository.
