Fwd: [LOD-LAM] Open data in cultural heritage (LODLAM-London), October 6th
by Jodi Schneider 06 Sep '11

06 Sep '11

If you're working with cultural heritage data, this free open data-related event in London this October may be of interest: http://lodlamlon11.eventbrite.com/ Mia is still looking for a few good speakers, as well. -Jodi ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Mia <mia.ridge(a)gmail.com> Date: Mon, Sep 5, 2011 at 5:14 PM Subject: [LOD-LAM] Open data in cultural heritage (LODLAM-London), October 6th To: lod-lam(a)googlegroups.com Hi all, I thought you might be interested in this LODLAM-ish event in London, 'Open data in cultural heritage' (info below). You can get free tickets at http://lodlamlon11.eventbrite.com. Europeana's 'EuropeanaTech' event will have been the day before, so I'm sure we can also report back on any developments there. Also, if you can think of anyone who'd make a good speaker, let me know! I figure this group will know people who can speak for five minutes on their open data projects - I'm particularly interested in people who've run successful projects in cultural heritage institutions, or created something that has changed how a LAM thinks about open data. Cheers, Mia -------------------------------------------- http://openobjects.org.uk/ http://twitter.com/mia_out Open data in cultural heritage (LODLAM-London) A meetup for people interested in the applications of linked and open data for cultural heritage. Building on earlier 'linking museums' and London #OpenData (#opendataLDN) meetups, this event is an opportunity to think more widely about Linked Open Data in Libraries Archives and Museums (LODLAM) and bring together a wider community of people interested in open data. It will focus on the success stories for open data in cultural heritage (with a nod to the barriers to publishing usable open data). We'll have some interesting speakers with short talks on their work with open data in cultural heritage, including Paul Rowe, Joint CEO at Vernon Systems in New Zealand, and potentially Leif Isaksen, who could share his experiences with the Google Ancient Places (GAP) and PELAGIOS projects. We'll also have small discussion sessions to think creatively about how we can overcome the barriers. We want to gather together success stories for open data projects, and address the issues that limit the publication of open data in cultural institutions. Who? You! If you're interested in using or publishing open cultural data and want to help getting better data out there for people to use... Or if you work with a cultural institution and are curious to know why people care so much, have experience to share, or want to know how open data might help your organisation, we'd love you to come along to find out more. Where? Thanks to the Open Knowledge Foundation we have a great space at the Centre for Creative Collaboration (#c4cc), 16 Acton Street, London, WC1X 9NG [map and directions]. http://lodlamlon11.eventbrite.com/

MerrionStreet.ie
by Colm King 29 Jul '11

29 Jul '11

Hi again, I know you probably haven't heard much from me recently. I've been away from Wikipedia for a while due to commitments, but still have a keen interest. I don't know if you've ever come across the website MerrionSteet.ie . It is the "Irish Government News Service". It has a collection of all of the press releases from government departments, as well as images. Previously, the images were under a Creative Commons licence, but recently changed them to full Copyright. The old licence was not acceptable for Wikipedia. Considering that other governments, such as the US and Polish governments, release their images for free, I was wondering if anybody else felt it was appropriate to lobby the website to release their images under a CC licence (suitable for Wiki) or into the public domain. Regards,Colm King(cargoking)

List co-admin needed! :)
by Alison Cassidy 15 Jul '11

15 Jul '11

Hi all, Just popping my head up to say hello :) As it happens, I'm the only list admin on the Wikimedia IE mailing list. My cohort, Cary Bass, left admin when he retired from the WMF to return to college. Anyways, the current situation really isn't optimal; if I get run over by a bus or whatev, we're stuck without anyone managing the list, having the password, etc. So, to that end, would anyone like to volunteer to co-admin the list? It's pretty simple and anyone using Mailman already would find it a breeze. As I'm in the US on the West Coast (ex-Dub myself), someone in Europe would be particularly handy to ensure good coverage round the clock. Ok - over to you :) -- Allie (User:Alison on enwiki and gawiki)

by Jodi Schneider 12 Jul '11

12 Jul '11

Haven't read this, but "*Kul Wadhwa in Ireland*: The Head of Business Development at the Wikimedia Foundation, Kul Wadhwa, was interviewed for the Irish Times<http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/finance/2011/0708/1224300295616.html> this week. In the interview, which focused on the growth of social media<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_media>, Wadhwa was positive about the prospects for sites which allow interaction, including Wikipedia. "I think you've kind of just scratched the surface on a lot of ways people are going to interact... people want to connect". Wadhwa was also quoted as being particularly excited about a new "collaborative education project"." http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/finance/2011/0708/1224300295616.html via http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/2011-07-11/In_the…

Can I interview you about the deletion process on EN-WP?
by Jodi Schneider 12 May '11

12 May '11

Hello (and please pardon the crossposting), I am a Ph.D. researcher at the Digital Enterprise Research Institute in Galway, Ireland. My Ph.D. topic is online discussions, specifically the reasoning and arguments people use. I am currently studying Articles for Deletion in English Wikipedia, to understand how article deletion decisions are made. I am working on a prototype argument assistant to help newcomers understand what kinds of arguments make sense, much in the way that the Article Wizard provides guidance for creating an article. From reading discussions, I am learning what kinds of arguments people use in AfD, especially to see what comments advance the discussion. Next I need to get some perspectives from editors! I'm looking for Wikipedians to interview about the deletion process. I envision a 30 minute skype or phone conversation. I'm interested in learning about what works well in AfD discussions, any frustrations you have with it, and why you generally do or don't !vote in AfD. I hope to talk with Wikipedians with a wide variety of experience editing (from newcomers to EN-WP, to regular EN-WP editors, to admins, especially admins who close discussions), with people who spend little time commenting in deletion discussions, as well as those who do. Would you be willing to talk with me? Let me know the best times for you; you can reach me at jschneider(a)pobox.com or with the info below. -Jodi Schneider WP:Jodi.a.schneider skype:jodi.a.schneider http://jodischneider.com/jodi.html
