We describe a new prototype for a zoo information system. The system is based on RFID and allows to retrieve information about the zoo animals in a quick and easy way. RFID tags identifying the respective animals are placed near the animal habitats. Zoo visitors are equipped with PDAs containing RFID readers and WLAN cards. The PDAs may then read the RFID tag IDs and retrieve respective HTML-documents from a zoo Web server showing information about the animals at various levels of detail and languages. Additionally, the system contains a JXTA and XML based peer-to-peer subsystem, enabling zoos to share their content with other zoos in an easy way. This way, the effort for creating multimedia content can be reduced drastically.
