I chose to reverse engineer the project title, “Mappa Mundi<\/em>.” This project focuses on Hereford Cathedral and their possession of the Mappa Mundi, an ancient calf skin map from 1300 which lays out the world from an ancient European Christian perspective. \u00a0The Hereford Cathedral “Mappa Mundi” project also boasts about their Chained Library and extensive collection of medieval books.<\/p>\n

To reverse engineer this project, I needed to break it down and dissect the key components. \u00a0I have identified the sources, processing, and presentation aspects of the project.<\/p>\n

I began with looking at the sources used in the “Mappa Mundi<\/em>” project. \u00a0I searched around the website to find out what types of raw materials the developers used. \u00a0The first item I noticed was the use of the Hereford Mappa Mundi artifact. \u00a0The map was used in various ways around the website, and is a main source of information for this project. \u00a0I also saw the project used the\u00a0Great Charter of Liberties (Magna Carta) artifact. \u00a0There was a separate section for information pulled from this source. \u00a0Photos of the Hereford Cathedral Chained Library and Medieval Library were used extensively throughout the website. \u00a0Additionally, book titles, book descriptions, photos of paintings from books, and photos of books in the Hereford Cathedral Chained Library and Medieval Library were used as sources to put this project together. \u00a0Illustrations and photos of the Hereford Cathedral were also used. \u00a0The last source I found was a\u00a0Google map displaying the location of the Hereford Cathedral.<\/p>\n

The “Mappa Mundi<\/i>” project performed a bit of processing in order to translate the physical sources they used into something which can now be viewed on a computer. \u00a0To process this information, they created a summary and narrative of the information. \u00a0All of the information was also categorized and organized to make it palatable to the general public. \u00a0Artifacts and book texts were all digitized, which was essential for putting this project together. \u00a0Photographing was performed, and photographs were enhanced and edited.<\/p>\n

In order for us to view the “Mappa Mundi<\/i>” project as it is now, the developers needed to use presentation methods. \u00a0The information for this project has all been made web-accessible. \u00a0The Mappa Mundi artifact has been made interactive, creating an engaging and captivating way for viewers to become educated on this subject matter. \u00a0There is also an interactive 3D image of the Mappa Mundi artifact, which further enhances the project for our viewing.<\/p>\n

From dissecting the “Mappa Mundi<\/i>” website and discovering the sources, processing, and presentation elements, I have been able to reverse engineer the project.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
