Missions

The web developer will be responsible for developing a full web version of OntoMatchGame, moving toward an open-source solution based on HTML and Javascript (abandoning Unity). In addition to this functional migration, further developments are planned to allow the use of various ontologies (currently only CIDOC is available) and to improve the Free Board version of the game by adding domain constraints for card placement.

Activités

- Web development in HTML, CSS, and Javascript ;
- Coding documentation ;
- Publishing the code on a GitLab repository.

Compétences

- Web languages (HTML, CSS, and Javascript),
- Database (PostgreSQL),
- Fluent English.

Contexte de travail

The development of the full web version of OntoMatchGame is part of the European ECHOES project (funded by Horizon Europe), which aims to establish a European cloud for cultural herit-age. The ECHOES project is structured into several work packages. The web developer's assign-ments will fall within Work Package 5 ("Capacity Building and Training"), which focuses on train-ing researchers to participate in the implementation of this cloud. Within this work package, the OntoMatchGame tool has been identified as a resource to train researchers in the CIDOC CRM ontology (a conceptual reference model for cultural heritage data) and the principle of mapping, which involves aligning data with an ontological model. OntoMatchGame is a serious game de-signed to train researchers in Humanities and Social Sciences on ontologies through a card-based game. The current version of the game is functional on a Unity-based platform.
The web developer will work under the hierarchical supervision of Xavier Rodier, Director of the Maison des Sciences de l'Homme Val de Loire (MSH VdL), and under the functional supervision of Olivier Marlet, who is responsible for this activity within the ECHOES project.
The Research Officer will join the software development team at MSH Val de Loire, which hosts the ECHOES project. Standard working hours apply. A dedicated workstation will be provided.
