This paper presents an innovative scientific approach for the design of a tailorable groupware architecture devoted to the collection of Digital media for underwater virtual environments. The proposed approach is based on Web services and software agent technologies. The aim is to design a flexible and reconfigurable collaborative platform to allow users, on one hand, to collect and manipulate via the Internet different digital media (image, video, audio, 3D models, etc.), and on the other hand, certain services can be manually or dynamically integrated as new behaviours, where existing groupware systems often offer a limited and rigid set of functionalities, hence limiting collaboration's performance. This work is applied on a R&D project, DIGITAL OCEAN, a new media system obtained by the integration of three multimedia products currently being developed, and is conceived to enable the general public to discover, online, underwater virtual environments. We present this ongoing project and the scientific background behind it, taking in consideration technical aspects as well as the project's perspectives on the global market, and emphasizing the innovation it brings, where it opens to the multimedia and audiovisual industries a new space that is still virgin, the underwater space.
