Hello:
One of the declared goals of the SGS Pilot 1[1] is the bundling of
museology practices for very small GLAM institutions. I've just found the
SPECTRUM[2] body of procedures and I'm amazed. My problem is the Collection
Trust explicitly prohibit derived works:
*«Under no circumstances may you develop products or services which may be
deemed commercially to compete with the products or services of the
Collections Trust, its partners or affiliates. For the purposes of clarity,
this shall be understood to include translations, localisations or
derivative works, the creation of which shall in all cases be subject to
express prior written consent from the Collections Trust.»*
The first thought is obviously to email the Trust to ask about any
potential of releasing under a Wikimedia compatible license but I guess
this would be a failed attempt, especially because I'm a nobody for them
with zero influence potential.
The second thought is to look for an open alternative. So, here I am: does
anyone knows and opensource alternative to de SPECTRUM standard? If not so
comprehensive, something advanced enough to use a knowledge base.
Thanks.

Hello everybody!
I was wondering which property to use when I'd like to add the URL of
the digital collection site of a GLAM institution. In the case of
museums, digital collections and catalogues often coincide, so
"https://sammlung.staedelmuseum.de" can be added as P8768 to Q163804
(Städel Museum). But especially libraries often have a dedicated digital
collections site alongside the catalogue. Is there a property for this?
I couldn't find anything.
Some examples to illustrate what I mean:
Harvard Library (Q3232931) -> online catalog URL (P8768)
"https://library.harvard.edu/"
But how can I specify the digital collections
"https://library.harvard.edu/digital-collections"?
The same problem with Berlin State Library (Q170109) and
http://stabikat.de <http://stabikat.de> (catalogue) and
https://digital.staatsbibliothek-berlin.de/ (digital collections).
In the case of Bavarian State Library (Q256507) the situation is
slightly more intricate: there is a separate item for the department
hosting the digital collections (Q111308594) where I've add the URL
(http://www.digitale-sammlungen.de/) in P2699. I don't think that this
is a very elegant solution and would be happy if you could help!
Thanks!
Best,
Alexander

Hi:
Just wanted to share with you that LaOficina, the NGO where I work at, has
applied for a WMF's rapid grant in the GLAM domain, We are a very small
cultural association and are creating our own digital archive, so we need
a set of required resources that in a conventional manner we can't afford.
Our approach, we called SMALL GLAM SLAM, is a set of practices in term of
cheap hardware acquisition, free software tools (the main one is Wikibase),
a set of essential data models/vocabularies and modelled methodologies to
reduce all the entry barriers for very small organisations like us. I know
there are a lot of commonalities with other initiatives in the Wikimedia
Movement but we don't pretend to reinvent nothing but to bundle the
essential infrastructure for any little organization starting their own
GLAM project. If the application is successful, we expect it to be the
first of many others until the Movement gets a bundle advanced enough.
You'll find the details at
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Programs/Wikimedia_Community_Fund/Ra….
We'll be very happy for any feedback.
Thanks.
