Abstract

Digital Villages is a project movement that seeks to build relationships within communities. Some apps in this movement are in development. These apps perform tasks such as job offerings and local trades. The goal of Digital Villages: Discoverable is to connect villagers with their pasts by having them upload old pictures of spots around a village for everyone to see. For this project, the back-end of the application was developed. The back-end contains the source code that will run on the server, rather than on the client’s phone, and it will connect the user with online databases of images and information. For this back-end, Spring REST framework creates an environment where variables are omnipresent. For the application to be effective, the back-end was coded as a Java application where users can upload their images and descriptions to various sites of cultural significance.
