Demos
Building Information Systems on Demand is an innovative digital method designed to make scholarly data more accessible and interactive. Developed by an interdisciplinary team, it represents a major step forward in combining academic research with modern technology.
All information systems support category-based searching, enabling targeted exploration across diverse datasets or thematic areas of interest. Users can also access an interactive map interface to visualise data geographically and gain a spatial overview of the research landscape, if available. In addition, the systems offer a powerful full-text search, supporting both precise and flexible queries. Detailed entry views give comprehensive access to each item’s metadata, content, and contextual information.
