Open Data in Cultural Heritage - OpenGLAM in Germany
Are you working in a cultural heritage institution, or interested in
opening up cultural heritage data for wider reuse? On the morning prior
to the start of the Open Knowledge Festival <http://okfestival.org/>,
the OpenGLAM initiative <http://www.openglam.org>, Wikimedia Deutschland
<https://www.wikimedia.de/wiki/Hauptseite>and the DM2E project
<http://www.dm2e.eu>are organising a half day workshop on open cultural
data, with a special focus on German cultural heritage institutions.
OpenGLAM is an initiative committed to building a world in which our
cultural heritage is freely available for everyone to access, use,
connect and enjoy, and actively encourages galleries, libraries, museums
and archives worldwide to adopt proactive open content and open data
policies.
During this workshop, we will identify, investigate and discuss the
possibilities and key obstacles of opening up your cultural data as an
institution. After a round of inspiring presentations from initiatives
like Europeana, Wikidata, the German Digital Library and Coding da Vinci
we will continue the discussion how to overcome the barriers to opening
up data in the cultural heritage sector.
Finally, we will hear from the successful local OpenGLAM groups
currently active in Switzerland and Finland, and kickstart a local
OpenGLAM network for German heritage institutionsinterested in open
cultural content and open access. We invite everyone to join and help
think about the focus points for such a German OpenGLAM group for the
future, and look forward to start up a fruitful collaboration!
