research for the Open GLAM Declaration
by scann 12 Mar '20

12 Mar '20

Hi folks! As part of the process of building the Open GLAM Declaration between Creative Commons and the Wikimedia Foundation, we're releasing some research we have been doing lately. You can access it here: https://medium.com/open-glam/research-papers-for-open-glam-informing-the-de… We also have put together this form: https://forms.gle/kfDxoYSv71Hp67T3A so you can submit the resources that you find inspiring. These might include: articles that have made you rethink the way you manage traditional knowledge; videos that help you formulate arguments to convince your institution to adopt Open Access policies; talks that raise awareness about releasing collections portraying people; or papers that help you build a case inside your institution of the value added to interoperable collections. It can even be slideshows! If you have more than one resource and you would like to share these directly, please just send us an email at info [at] openglam.org We especially welcome resources in languages other than English! We expect to have the Declaration prepared in at least five other languages, so any supporting documents in other languages to help make the case would be very beneficial. You can read more about the process for the Open GLAM Declaration here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Open_GLAM cheers, scann

Catalog of Wikimedia video or interactive tutorials
by Pine W 10 Mar '20

10 Mar '20

Hello, Some time ago, I started to gather information regarding existing and planned tutorials for Wikimedia which are in a video or interactive format. Initially this information was on Meta in a place which was difficult to find. I moved the content to https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/NavWiki/External_Resources. I hope that this will be a helpful starting place for anyone who is looking for existing or planned tutorial resources. Also, if someone creates or updates a tutorial, I hope that they will update the information on that page. The tutorials may cover topics for Wikipedia, Wikidata, and other Wikimedia projects. Currently, resources are listed which are in German, Spanish, Serbian, Hebrew, and English. Also, I believe that the Arabic language tutorials which are currently listed in the section for unfinished resources have been completed, and I am planning to reach out to request an update regarding the status of those resources. Ever onward, Pine ( https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Pine )

Fwd: FW: James Smithson Open Access Fellowship
by Alex Stinson 05 Mar '20

05 Mar '20

Hey all, Interesting opportunity here if you haven't seen it. Cheers, Alex *From: *"Kapsalis, Effie" <KapsalisE(a)si.edu> *Date: *Wednesday, March 4, 2020 at 1:24 PM *To: *"open-glam(a)lists.okfn.org" <open-glam(a)lists.okfn.org> *Subject: *James Smithson Open Access Fellowship Dear open GLAM community, On February 25, 2020, Smithsonian Open Access <https://si.edu/openaccess> went public making available 2.8 million 2D and 3D collections, 173-years of staff created metadata for all records online, and interdisciplinary research data sets all with the CC0 dedication. We are looking for four(4) postdoc fellowships to investigate the Smithsonian’s diffusion mission with 21st-century technology. Applications are due March 20, 2020 with a start date of September 14, 2020/ Full details and application instructions can be found here: https://www.smithsonianofi.com/fellowship-opportunities/james-smithson-fell… Please share! Effie Kapsalis, Senior Digital Program Officer, Smithsonian 2020 James Smithson Fellowship Theme for 2020: Open Access The Smithsonian Institution is a trusted knowledge organization with 155 million objects reflecting culture, history, art, and science of the world. While the Smithsonian has an active scholarly and research staff, there are many discoveries and insights left to be made. The goal of the 2020 James Smithson Fellowship is to help the Smithsonian in fulfilling its “diffusion” mission with 21st century technology, to engage the world in creating new knowledge. Post-docs interested in pursuing research and improving the public’s access to the Smithsonian are encouraged to apply. In no particular order, independent research through the 2020 James Smithson Fellowship might relate but not be limited to topics such as: - Empirical Analyses of Program Data - Application of Machine Learning/A.I. in Cultural Organizations - Data Improvement At-Scale - Cultural Responsibilities in an Open Knowledge Landscape - Accessibility Responsibilities in an Open Knowledge Landscape - Marketing and Advertising for Public Audiences - Artists/Designers - K12 Teachers and Students - University Students - Digital Humanities Scholars - Science Researchers - Computer Scientists - Solving issues in Digitization and Data Quality - Policy Aspects of Making Collections Accessible - Citizen Science - Crowdsourcing Research - The Economics of Open Knowledge - Increasing Gender Representation in Collections - Making Discipline Focused Research More Accessible - Solving Environmental Challenges with Historic Scientific Data Purpose: The James Smithson Fellowship Program was created to offer early career opportunities for post-doctoral researchers interested in gaining a better understanding about the interplay between scholarship and public policy through a Smithsonian lens. While this fellowship provides an immersion experience working with Smithsonian researchers and relevant collections, it also affords fellows a hands-on opportunity to explore relationships between research and public policy through direct interaction with Smithsonian leaders, and with policy leaders throughout the Washington, DC network. The program is designed for a new generation of leaders, who seek an experience that leverages both scholarly and practical expertise in an environment of innovation like no other. The goals of the James Smithson Fellowship Program provide fellows with the opportunity to: - Conduct scholarly research at the Smithsonian - Strengthen understanding of the interplay between research and public policy - Gain skills at leveraging research to inform conversations about public policy The 2020 James Smithson Fellowship Application is now OPEN *Application Deadline: *Extended! New application deadline is 11:59 pm EDT on Friday 3/20/2020 *Start Date: *Monday 9/14/2020 *End Date: *Friday 9/13/2021 -- Alex Stinson Senior Program Strategist Wikimedia Foundation Twitter:@glamwiki/@sadads Learn more about how the communities behind Wikipedia, Wikidata and other Wikimedia projects partner with cultural heritage organizations: https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/GLAM

Registration announcement LD4 Conference on Linked Data in Libraries: May 13-14, 2020 Preconference workshops: May 12, 2020 Texas A&M University, College Station, Texas, USA Registration starts: Wednesday, March 4 Stipend application deadline: Sunday, March 15 Registration deadline: Friday, April 17 We're excited to announce that registration for the 2020 LD4 Conference will open on Wednesday, March 4th. Join us May 13-14 at Texas A&M University in College Station, Texas, USA to learn concrete ways that linked data benefits GLAM institutions, and discover pathways to participation in linked data. Please visit the conference web site (ld4.io)<http://ld4.io> for more details. Wikimedians are most warmly welcome to attend and participate in this conference! Whether you have already implemented linked data in your work or are just getting started, you will leave with a better understanding of what linked data is, how it can be used, and what you can do to get started or continue to incorporate linked data in your institutions or projects. By bringing together a broad range of perspectives, and centering diversity, equity, inclusion, and ethics in our discussions, we will create a community of practice for linked data in libraries. We are delighted to have Karen Hwang as our conference kick-off speaker. Karen's practice as a metadata professional and archivist is rooted in concerns of discoverability and representation. She works to promote underrepresented histories through digital collections, and has explored ways to implement linked open data to enhance and boost the discovery of cultural heritage resources. Other program highlights include, "Workshopping Queeries: Linked Data Vocabularies and Ethical Cataloging," "Where Linked Data Can Impact User Experience: Findings from a Study on Discovery Workflows," "'I don't think I'll ever understand linked data': How to Teach Linked Data to Our Colleagues," and "Linking bilingual bibliographic data: a Wikidata-based project of Chinese writers' archival collections." A $100 registration fee will help to cover conference expenses and will include food and beverages during morning and afternoon breaks as well as a lunch buffet for both conference days, May 13th and 14th. There will not be an additional registration fee for pre-conference workshops on March 12th. Thanks to the generous support of the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, a limited number of stipends<https://sites.google.com/stanford.edu/ld42020/stipends> will be available to make participation possible for those who would not otherwise be able to attend.

Information seeking
by Meriç AKDOĞAN 26 Feb '20

26 Feb '20

Hello everyone, We are studying Digital Humanities for our Master Degree at the Centre d'Études Supérieures de la Renaissances (Université de Tours). As part of the master’s program, we would like to learn more and discuss about digital humanities projects related to the following four aspects: Projects in digital humanities regarding GLAM, especially museology and virtual exhibitions of photographs Projects, with or without digital tools, about working-class and immigrants districts in the big cities of the 20th and 21st centuries all around the world (not just Europe). Tools for using mind maps or topic maps as a navigation system on a website or examples of websites using such navigation systems Some feedbacks on 3D technologies used to create virtual exhibition spaces (e.g. Blender, Unity, three.js, nunuStudio ) In addition, would some of you have specialized mailing lists on cultural and digital mediation that could be recommended to us? We would welcome your advice, feedback and suggestions, Inoussa Kora Chabi Pauline Bellemère Meriç Akdoğan

WikiCite Satellite Conference India 2020
by Hardarshan Benipal 26 Feb '20

26 Feb '20

Hello everyone, With great pleasure, we would like to invite you to the WikiCite Satellite Event hosted by the Open Heritage Foundation in New Delhi on April 18,19 2020. Wikicite is a Wikimedia event to develop open citations and linked bibliographic data to serve free knowledge. The Wikimedia community and the GLAM institutions need to understand the dynamics of open bibliographic data better and how it can be scaled proactively with Wikimedia projects and other open-source platforms that are involved in open data. This event will be aimed at addressing the prevalent gap between Wikidata and Wikisource integration for works and their consecutive items. The format and structure of the event would have open calls for collaborators/presenters/participants. The event will be of 2 days and the attendance would be around 15-25 people, including, the stakeholders working with GLAM institutions, Wikisourcers, and Wikidatans interested in bibliographical data. The scholarships and registrations are open from February 26, 2020 and close on March 15, 2020. We also invite the community members to submit proposals for sessions. The date for submissions starts from February 26, 2020 and close on March 11, 2020. The submissions will be taken into account for prioritizing the candidates for scholarships. We look forward to welcoming you to New Delhi in April with the collaborative spirit of this year’s Wikimania theme ‘Sharing knowledge brings people together’ and ‘Power of Diverse Collaboration’. On behalf of the OHF and the organizing committee, WikiCite Satellite Con India 2020 Hardarshan Benipal [1] https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikicite_Satellite_Event_India_2020 [2] https://forms.gle/L4tU6tDwcHRmFMcE9 [3] http://openheritagefoundation.org/
