In this paper we describe a technological platform that makes it possible to enable such proactive behavior by supporting social storytelling and interaction in the domain of cultural heritage sites. The platform development was inspired by a workshop run with cultural heritage professionals and students who identified social interaction as a key feature of an enhanced experience with cultural objects.Social storytellingparticipatory culturedigital heritage10.1109/DigitalHeritage.2015.7413898
