Curatorial Network
The Curatorial Network is dedicated to development of curatorial practice through critical debate, collaborations and exchange. It explores the metaphor of 'networks' in relation to curating and communications. Based around a custom developed web site that operates a CMS style wiki, the web site allows the Curatorial Network team to update content very rapidly and easily, and includes a mailing list manager allowing members of the public to engage in discussion and be kept up to date with e-bulletins.

Scottish Sports Hall of Fame
As part of the new Scottish Sports Hall of Fame interactive exhibit in Edinburgh, ISO were commissioned to develop the backend for an accompanying web site that updates in sync with the exhibit when new sporting personalities are inducted into the hall of fame. The database driven web site uses exactly the same data source as the interactive exhibits in the museum, meaning almost no maintenance work is needed to bring all aspects of the exhibit up to date, other than using a custom-built data administration tool.

John's Journey development for Cojonudo Ltd
John Bell is a 32 year old sufferer of Motor Neurone Disease, a group of related conditions affecting the motor neurones in the brain and spinal cord. The Motor Neurone Disease Association approached Cojonudo Ltd to help them spread the word about John, and using the web site to interact with the public, built up a publicity campaign called John's Journey. As well as providing the latest news on John's condition, including diary entries from his family, the web site also provides a way for members of the public to make donations to help find a cure for the disease and sign up to regular email updates. The site provides advanced user tracking that allows the association to know exactly how effective their campaign is.
