Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Many of the world's great museums, cultural heritage sites, and other tourist locations offer their visitors some sort of companion mobile app. These apps have features that range from providing basic information to detailed exhibit data, guided tours, interactive displays and augmented reality. With very few exceptions, these apps are purpose-built for each specific venue. We describe a general extensible framework for mobile location-based information systems that provides a complete infrastructure for building apps of this type, with which only content creation is required to make a full-featured, venue-specific mobile app, but further customization is also possible and simple.
