Dear wiki-research-l and wiki-tech-l members,

Specifically on Nuria Ruiz and Andrew Otto's talk on July 15th on the NARA analytics pilot: Commons:GLAMwiki_Toolset_Project/NARA_analytics_pilot, I wonder whether it is possible to duplicate this for other GLAM institutions so as to expand its global GLAM outreach.

I plan to compare/contrast two to four GLAM institutions that host substantial Chinese collections in China, Taiwan, the U.K. I hope that it can be turned into a hackathon event to recruit coders and researchers from the Chinese-speaking regions.

Another benefit to duplicate NARA analytics pilot is to demonstrate the possible data-research workflow using the data and infrastructure provided by the Wikimedia Foundation.

I am not sure if the following list contain all the tasks involved and the time needed to finish them (Please give me your estimate, THANKS):

# Identify images to be logged for visiting traffic.

# Get log data permission (Is it gonna be difficult?)

# Start logging

# Visualize using glam-metrics (http://glam-metrics.wmflabs.org/)

# Localize the stats report with Chinese locale/translation

# Customize glam-metrics so that more than one GLAM institution can be compared.

Please also let me know if I miss anything. Many thanks.

Best,

Thanks for this. Forwarding to Analytics and Research for others who are curious.
