Hello,
It was exciting to host a lively conversation at the last MCN conference about 
Libraries, Archives and Museums (topics: [1]; slides: [2]). I am happy to see 
that many colleagues are interested in tearing down the barriers between 
bibliographical, archival and collection records within museums, as well as 
promoting the exchange of information and technologies between Cultural 
Heritage institutions.

I think the session sparked quite some interest and raised important topics 
from many of the participants. I also believe that this conversation needs to 
be brought forward.

This mailing list may be a good place to follow up that conversation. I would 
love to propose a similar session for next MCN, actually even closer to a 
round-table discussion than to a panel.

If enough people are interested, I would also propose to create a special 
interest group for this topic. Goal of the SIG would be torefine the core 
topics that we brought up at the conference using this mailing list, and then 
meet in person at the next MCN with a distilled down list of action items.

Anyone interested in this proposal is welcome to respond.

Thanks,
Stefano

Hello,
It was exciting to host a lively conversation at the last MCN conference about 
Libraries, Archives and Museums (topics: [1]; slides: [2]). I am happy to see 
that many colleagues are interested in tearing down the barriers between 
bibliographical, archival and collection records within museums, as well as 
promoting the exchange of information and technologies between Cultural 
Heritage institutions.

I think the session sparked quite some interest and raised important topics 
from many of the participants. I also believe that this conversation needs to 
be brought forward.

This mailing list may be a good place to follow up that conversation. I would 
love to propose a similar session for next MCN, actually even closer to a 
round-table discussion than to a panel.

If enough people are interested, I would also propose to create a special 
interest group for this topic. Goal of the SIG would be torefine the core 
topics that we brought up at the conference using this mailing list, and then 
meet in person at the next MCN with a distilled down list of action items.

Anyone interested in this proposal is welcome to respond.

Thanks,

Re: [MCN-L] LAM interoperability SIG?

2015-11-17 Thread Jeremy Ottevanger
Count me in to the SIG. I'm glad to see that Europeana and DPLA were mentioned 
in that session outline, but as slides amply showed this is a much bigger topic 
that "just" getting datasets from different CHOs to talk together more happily. 
That said there's plenty to learn from those efforts, DigitalNZ etc, so 
hopefully people from there will be SIG lurkers at least!

[MCN-L] LAM interoperability SIG?

2015-11-17 Thread Dominic Oldman
Dear Stefano,

 This looks like a good initiative and I would like to take you up on your
invite to comment.

 Interoperability of archives, libraries and museums is a complicated
undertaking (involving people as much as data) and something that the
cultural heritage sector has been working on for some considerable time. I
would suggest that we now have some mature solutions to this complex
problem, but with more open data initiatives this subject is rightly back
on the agenda.

 There have been many initiatives past and present however, the results of
some aggregations don’t always lend themselves to all areas of reuse.
Bringing together completely different data schemas that use different
specialist classification systems is potentially complicated and some
solutions have tended to compromise the original meaning/context of the
data by using fixed or too generalised models. It also requires a framework
of ongoing collaboration.

 We are soon to release open source software generously funded by the
Andrew Mellon Foundation which achieves data harmonisation between
different institutions without loss of meaning and context – and indeed can
often provide richer representations compared to the original source
dataset. The CIDOC CRM has not been well represented in the past and until
now (more institutions are now adopting it) has largely been used within
the academic community. However, in comparison to other integration
approaches it provides a very high quality solution but is far easier to
implement than has been represented in the community. It transforms data
into a semantic framework that allows, not just interoperability, but
sophisticated search, analysis, reconciliation and provenance tools. Its
language is based on that used by cultural heritage and humanities subject
experts rather than technologists and therefore seeks more engagement from
the curatorial, archivist and librarian community.

 With other groups (e.g. Ariadne project) we have starting running
workshops aimed at non-technical cultural heritage experts – the first was
held at Yale University and the second recently at Oxford University with
representatives from a wide range of organisations. We have a number of
participants mapping data to CIDOC CRM using a simple, mostly non-technical
mapping tool – which is unique because it separates out the mapping of data
and knowledge (from people) from more technical processes such as URI and
Linked Data generation which often complicate the mapping process. More
workshops will hopefully take place in 2016.

 The aim is that organisations can curate and develop their own CIDOC CRM
data representations locally. This is crucial for ongoing sustainability
and long lasting interoperability. Removing technical barriers makes this
possible. In summary the process is;

 -Data owners are trained to create accurate and contextual representations
of their data (putting back information that was lost in technical
digitisation processes, making what is implicit and ambiguous - explicit)
giving it high reuse and integration qualities – whether for research,
engagement or education. Contextual relationships create a semantic
framework for integration and reconciliation and make exploration a richer
experience in all these different areas. For this, a consortium run from
the Swedish National Archives has created a unique type of mapping system
called Mapping Memory Manager (3M). This tool is at the core of a number of
projects and has continued funding. A future objective is to create a
knowledge base of cultural data patterns relevant across all areas of
cultural heritage. The system is freely available as a web application and
existing mappings are viewable by the community.

 -We have implemented a system that provides a higher level of abstraction,
originally developed by FORTH (Crete), which creates a stable platform for
application development against CIDOC CRM. This level of abstraction works
a little like a semantic "database VIEW" and regardless of the type of
CIDOC CRM data (and regardless of whether it is from a library, archive or
museum) the abstraction creates a consistent and coherent interface based
on Fundamental Categories – Things, Actors, Places, Events, Time, Concepts.
These categories are connected by a matrix of Fundamental Relationships
which provide accessible entry and exploration points to the data and allow
the development of user interfaces that span libraries, archives, museums,
etc. e.g. http://tinyurl.com/o5u6wj5. Broader more general, or conversely
more specialised user interfaces can be developed by using different levels
of abstraction.

 -Members of this community are starting to use a consistent open source
semantic technology platform to produce open source applications that make
use of cultural heritage knowledge graphs. It is being used and proposed
for use in a number of projects both EU and National. This semantic
environment and the stable semantic abstraction mean

Hi Ntae,

I hadn’t but just tried with one image and the results weren’t as good. I
will take a closer look though. The great thing about Clarifai is that
there is transparent pricing on their website and self serve signup.
Alchemy allows you to get a dev key easily enough but upgrading is a
“Contact Sales” scenario.

Cheers for the link.

Subject: [MCN-L] LAM interoperability SIG?

Hello,
It was exciting to host a lively conversation at the last MCN conference about 
Libraries, Archives and Museums (topics: [1]; slides: [2]). I am happy to see 
that many colleagues are interested in tearing down the barriers between 
bibliographical, archival and collection records within museums, as well as 
promoting the exchange of information and technologies between Cultural 
Heritage institutions.

I think the session sparked quite some interest and raised important topics 
from many of the participants. I also believe that this conversation needs to 
be brought forward.

This mailing list may be a good place to follow up that conversation. I would 
love to propose a similar session for next MCN, actually even closer to a 
round-table discussion than to a panel.

If enough people are interested, I would also propose to create a special 
interest group for this topic. Goal of the SIG would be torefine the core 
topics that we brought up at the conference using this mailing list, and then 
meet in person at the next MCN with a distilled down list of action items.

Anyone interested in this proposal is welcome to respond.

Thanks,
Stefano

2015-11-17 Thread Stefano Cossu

All,
Thank you so much for your interest and for the very insightful 
contributions.


Given the large number of interested parties, I am wondering if we 
should kick off a separate mailing list (Google groups or such) so we 
can more easily reach out to other communities. I still think that we 
can target the next MCN conference for an in-person meeting, while we 
distill ideas in the mailing list.


Thoughts?

Stefano
