-====== Graffiti in the Ancient World ======
+====== Graffiti in Ancient Rome ======
-This work-in-progress seeks to explore the relationships of the graffiti in ancient Italy, specifically in Pompei and Herculaneum.
+This [[http://ancientgraffiti.wlu.edu|work-in-progress]] seeks to explore the relationships of the graffiti in ancient Rome, specifically in Pompeii and Herculaneum.
-===== Short and Long-term Goals =====
+Our goals are
   * to explore the relationships between inscriptions on a variety of scales (within a house, a city-block, the city)
+  * to improve visualization of the inscriptions, including location of inscriptions, to help researchers find new stories to tell about the people of ancient Rome
+===== Prototype =====
+A team of students enrolled in [[http://www.cs.wlu.edu/~sprenkle/cs335|CSCI335: Software Engineering via Web Applications]] worked on a [[http://ancientgraffiti.wlu.edu|prototype implementation]] of the application using insula I.8 in Pompeii.  We are currently refining the requirements and goals of this project and working on collecting the data to be used by the application.
+===== Our Role =====
+This digital humanities project allows computer science students to work in collaboration with an actual client, actual users, and learn advanced software development techniques and web applications.  The [[webapptesting:home|Web Application Testing Lab]] can then use the developed application as a subject in evaluating new testing techniques.
