"Slavo-Bulgarian History" on the map

Project overview :

This is the first project that VIDA Software implemented end-to-end. It was another partnership together with Mozaika. The goal of the project was to deliver a web site with full information and geographic location of manuscripts of “Slavonic-Bulgarian History” by Saint Paisius of Hilendar. It offers possibilities to locate on the map the ‘Place of origin’ and ‘Repository place’ as well as browse through description of the manu-script and the connected articles. Users are able to log in using their social networks accounts and after that write comments and attach them to manuscript articles.

The content on the website was provided by professors and teacher in some of the most popular Bulgarian scientific institutions: Sofia University, The National School for Ancient Languages and Cultures, etc. The site is now used as platform for the competition “The Spirituality of Sofia in Historical Memory”.                                 

What we did for this project :

We developed the site and its back end from scratch. We used the following technologies and platforms:

  • Java EE 7 (JPA, CDI, JAX-RS)
  • JavaScript and jQuery
  • Google Maps
  • MySQL
  • NGINX
  • Amazon EC2                                 

Project results :

Fully functional website which is still in operaion.
