by Rossenova, Lozana 04 Apr '22

04 Apr '22

Dear all, Apologies for cross-posting. Myself and my colleague Sandra Fauconnier are running a survey to help us better meet user needs and expectations for the new Structured Data on Commons extension for OpenRefine, which is in the process of being developed. It shouldn't take you more than 5-10 mins to fill out the survey and we encourage anyone who is involved in uploading files to Wikimedia Commons and/or editing file metadata there to have a look, regardless whether you're OpenRefine users or not. The survey is accessible here: https://forms.gle/cneU6GApmVY3c3TC6 In case you haven't heard much about this yet, the survey is associated with this Wikimedia-funded project: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/CS%26S/Structured_Data_on_Wi… If you have any questions, do not hesitate to get in touch by emailing us, or getting in touch via our Talk pages on Meta. Kind regards, Lozana --- Dr. Lozana Rossenova Researcher @ Open Science Lab, TIB Hannover Wikibase Community Manager @ NFDI4Culture ORCID: 0000-0002-5190-1867

Inquiry -- Crowdsourcing
by Aya Waly ElDin Sabry 25 Mar '22

25 Mar '22

Hello everyone, Hope you're all safe and sound. I'm wondering if anyone here is working on crowdsourcing? I'm doing research on how audience participation in crowdsourcing (and citizen science projects) affects notions of (institutional) expertise and authority. I'd like to discuss this with you if you have similar interests. Thanks, Aya Sabry

Fwd: [Wikimedia-l] GLAM Partnership and Wikimedian in Residence program with RIWATCH, Arunachal Pradesh by CIS-A2K

FYI ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: subodh kulkarni <subodhkiran(a)gmail.com> Date: Tue, 8 Mar 2022 at 10:01 Subject: [Wikimedia-l] GLAM Partnership and Wikimedian in Residence program with RIWATCH, Arunachal Pradesh by CIS-A2K To: <wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org> Dear Wikimedians, Greetings of the day! CIS-A2K is glad to share this update with you. We have started developing partnerships with various institutions in the North East region of India since 2019. We conceptualised the GLAM project with an organization named *Research Institute of World's Ancient Traditions, Cultures and Heritage* (RIWATCH), a non-profit research and community based organisation in Arunachal Pradesh during the year 2020 and proposed it in our 2020-21 plan. But due to the pandemic, the process was delayed. We have launched a GLAM-Wiki project with RIWATCH from March 2022 in collaboration with the West Bengal Wikimedians User Group, which will be helping in coordination and execution of this project. A Wikimedian in Residence has been assigned at RIWATCH to document, organize and upload the data and content of the rich collection of the institute focusing on the oral traditions, language and culture of different tribes in Arunachal Pradesh. The orientation and planning meetings were conducted with RIWATCH members and a local tribal organisation named Idu Mishmi Cultural & Literary Society to develop the GLAM project. After the training of WiR, the GLAM work on Wikimedia Commons has already been started. The details can be seen here - Commons category <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Research_Institute_of_World%27s…> and GLAM project page <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:RIWATCH> . We welcome your suggestions.

'As Open as Possible' - Closing Event of Hessian Open Access Policy Project, 24 March 2022
by Klaus Bulle 04 Mar '22

04 Mar '22

Dear all, for those of you who understand German, I would like to draw your attention to this closing event of a project that took place in Hesse state during the last year. More than ten cultural heritage institutions from different domains (libraries, archives, museums, i.e. all GLAM areas) worked together and published a common open access policy, in December last year. On 24 March 2022 from 10:00 to 12:00 am (CET), we will look back and describe the journey towards the adoption of the policy document. And we are going to discuss what it means in practice for the different institutions to follow the self-commitment declared by the policy. You will find more information and the possibility to register on https://www.uni-marburg.de/de/fotomarburg/aktuelles/nachrichten/so-offen-wi… Best regards, Klaus Bulle -- Klaus Bulle M.A. Head of IT Deutsches Dokumentationszentrum für Kunstgeschichte Bildarchiv Foto Marburg Philipps-Universität Marburg Biegenstr. 11 D-35037 Marburg T +49 6421 28-23666 F +49 6421 28-28931 bulle(a)fotomarburg.de www.fotomarburg.de | twitter.com/FotoMarburg

explanation of the small accident yesterday + sincere apologies
by Evelin Heidel 02 Mar '22

02 Mar '22

Hello everyone, Yesterday someone asked me to be unsubscribed from the list. As I couldn't find her/his email on the list of subscribers, I accidentally hit the wrong button on the software that manages all the lists (mailman) and unsubscribed everyone from the open-glam list. This was, of course, an accident, as explained here: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T302816 The issue is now solved thanks to the speedy response of Amir & Jcrespo, who I'm really thankful for solving this issue in such a timely manner. Last, this list is moderated because accidents tend to happen more often than we realize, such as people responding to the whole list when they intended to reply to the sender only. And since the unsubscription was a thing I was expecting to be solved promptly (as it fortunately was), that's the reason why I rejected all the incoming emails saying "please subscribe" or "why I have been unsubscribed from the list". My sincere apologies to everyone who felt this was a personal issue and again this won't happen in the future. Thanks again, scann

In this virtual panel, experts from the British Library, Bibliothèque nationale de France and Koninklijke Bibliotheek will explore this complex topic at three levels. Firstly, organisationally, where do preservation, digitisation, and web and social media archiving ‘fit’ in your organisation? Secondly, which policies cover preservation, digitisation, and web and social media archiving? Thirdly, in what areas do interconnections between digitisation experts and born-digital curators and preservation teams already exist or would be beneficial? Learn more and register on our event page <https://www.digitisation.eu/event/impact-opf-iipc-virtual-panel-preservatio…> . We look forward to seeing you there!

Creative Commons Certificate for GLAM: scholarships available!
by Jennryn Wetzler 15 Feb '22

15 Feb '22

Dear colleagues, Creative Commons is thrilled to announce our first CC Certificate <https://certificates.creativecommons.org/>scholarships for our newly launched GLAM course. If you would like to nominate a member of the CC Global Network or Open GLAM community for a scholarship - who has contributed to Open GLAM efforts - please read below. The scholarship will help individuals seeking to deepen their knowledge about open licensing and open practices for GLAMs, and get CC Certified! The CC Certificate for GLAM is a rigorous, 10-week course, which requires 6-10 hours of work per week. Scholarships are *non-refundable*. Scholarship recipients must be willing to devote the required time to complete the course. Scholarships: We are offering 38 scholarships for our 2022 courses. Scholarships will cover 40% of the registration fee, and scholarship recipients will be responsible for the remaining US$300. While scholarships are open to the first applicants (or nominees) who complete this form, we will prioritize granting scholarships to as many countries as possible. Additional considerations: - Applications close on 15 March, 2022. - Accepted applicants will be notified by April and will need to register for their preferred course before 30 May, 2022. - The next courses run from 13 June - 21 August, and from 26 September - 4 December, 2022. Course information: The CC Certificate for GLAM (galleries, libraries, archives and museums) is a professional development training for institutions or community groups engaged in cultural heritage. As more GLAMs adapt to increasingly online audiences and users, they often seek Creative Commons legal tools, expertise and community support. Cultural heritage institutions share a common goal with Creative Commons: to make knowledge and culture globally accessible. - In the CC Certificate for GLAM, community members will develop capacity in opening access to cultural heritage. They will develop a deeper understanding of open licensing and copyright considerations with digitization projects, Rights Statements, Traditional Knowledge Labels, working with the public domain, and more. - CC Certificate for GLAM participants will also gain access to a global community of professionals and activists working toward similar cultural and policy changes in their own cultural heritage institutions. Best, Jennryn Jennryn Wetzler Director of Learning and Training Creative Commons <https://creativecommons.org/> CC is celebrating 20 years of sharing creativity and knowledge <https://creativecommons.org/20-years/> Show your gratitude by supporting our 20th Anniversary Campaign <https://www.classy.org/campaign/20th-anniversary-better-sharing-campaign/c3…>
