Sam Donvil introduces Public Domain Day Belgium 2019 and the uploads that were realised with donations of data and reproductions from Belgian heritage institutions to the Wikimedia Platforms.
On 21 February 2020, meemoo and the Royal Library of Belgium organised a special study day in Brussels in celebration of Public Domain Day. Sam Donvil (meemoo) introduced the basic principles of the public domain and its significance to heritage institutions. He also gave an overview of authors that fell into the public domain in 2020, some examples of possibilities with public domain works all over the world and illustrated concrete actions taken by meemoo, a.o. concerning the oeuvre of James Ensor. Then, two other speakers from Vlaamse Kunstcollectie and KU Leuven took the floor. Sam Donvil continued with some guidelines for institutions that want to bring collections into the public domain, and a few words on Open Access in Belgium. To conclude, the results of the Wiki Loves Heritage photography competition were announced.
The Partage Plus project aims to digitize over 75,000 Art Nouveau objects from 23 partners in 17 European countries to make them available through Europeana. The two-year project will significantly increase the number of Art Nouveau collections available online. Content will include paintings, drawings, furniture, sculpture, ceramics and architecture. The project website and Europeana will provide access to information on European cultural heritage from the Art Nouveau period.
Europeana Network Association AGM 2017 - 6 December - Pitch your project - Dr...Europeana
Square Museum is a proposed network of interactive art installations in public spaces across six or more European cities. The installations would present content from partner museums, libraries, and archives in an accessible way to broad audiences. The project aims to create a larger outreach for cultural institutions and encourage public participation through presenting collections on the street. It would also involve student editorial teams and an exchange of content between locations. The proposal is seeking additional partners to apply for funding from the Creative Europe program by January 20th, 2018.
The document discusses the impact of reusing cultural heritage collections. It summarizes several initiatives that Europeana has undertaken to promote reuse, including partnerships with creative industries, challenges, crowdfunding, education programs, and thematic collections. The initiatives have seen success in areas like fashion and education. Going forward, Europeana aims to build on past successes, promote existing projects, and increase cooperation through thematic collaborations.
This document provides an overview of a workshop on using the Europeana digital library for education. It introduces Europeana as a collection of over 53 million digitized items from over 3,500 cultural institutions across 36 European countries. The workshop covers how Europeana can be used for educational purposes, including resources for different subjects, search tips, and licensing information. It also includes an exercise where teachers work in groups to create presentations using different types of materials from Europeana related to World War 1.

Transforming Collection Data: From 1572 to the Present and BeyondAxiell ALM
Wilhelm Lagercrantz, Digital Strategy / Chief Digital Officer, National Historical Museums Sweden
National Historical Museums is a government agency which includes the Swedish History Museum and the Royal Coin Cabinet plus the museum operations at Tumba Papermill Museum. The agency also performs archaeology services.
The coin collection can trace its roots back to 1572 when Rasmus Ludvigsson, a secretary to the King Johan III started a collection of old Swedish coins.
From the start, there has always been a need to somehow keep track of the collection. In the early days using quill pen and paper, then gradually moving into more modern technology.
In the 1990s parts of the collection information became digital. Today the Swedish History Museum and the Royal Coin Cabinet use different solutions for the collections management and are ready to take the next step by moving in to Adlib. Our expectations are to enhance our work processes even more and reach out globally.

Jill Cousins: Executive Director, Europeana
Europeana constructed a Publishing Framework (video) together with its contributing cultural heritage institutions to be more explicit about the possible returns of opening up data and delivering better quality. This framework has been translated and implemented across Europe to help institutions understand the benefits of being able to open up their data. A couple of case studies from the museum, archive and library world will used to illustrate the results of adopting a more open approach, covering both the positive and the negative.

Presentation to Open GLAM México, 6 September 2018, Mexico City. This event linked numerous institutions to encourage dialogue around the Open GLAM movement and was jointly organised by the Ministry of Culture, the National Institute of Fine Arts, the Cultural Center of Spain in Mexico and Wikimedia México.
The aims of Open GLAM México were:
• Socialise good practices and policies generated by GLAM institutions to distribute data and digital objects, in national and international context.
• Promote the opening of digital collections in public and private institutions in Mexico.
• Establish an open dialogue on copyright issues focused on the use, reuse and appropriation of digital collections of cultural heritage.
This document outlines a digital campaign created for the reopening of the Jean-Jacques Henner museum in France. The campaign had several steps: creating a blog and social media profiles to promote the museum and artist; generating exclusive online content to engage different audiences; organizing online and real-world events to build buzz; and launching collaborative initiatives like a Twitter campaign to further connect the museum to its online community. A similar multifaceted strategy was then employed for the museum's involvement in the annual European Night of Museums event.
This document summarizes a presentation about how opening up museum collections digitally can inspire creativity and new learning. It discusses two case studies: Cool Constructions, a collaboration between citizens and SMK to beautify public spaces; and Wiki Labs, where people collaborate to enrich Wikipedia art entries using SMK images. The presentation argues that today learning happens everywhere, not just in institutions, and that open collections can support "maker culture" where people engage in hands-on creative learning. It describes an event called "Mix it up!" held at SMK to celebrate open collections, featuring a remix exhibition and workshops. Feedback showed the value of open collections in empowering new forms of learning and art, while also surfacing challenges in integrating

This document summarizes the cultural policy project of four students - Erica, Silke, Robine, and Anke - focused on street art in Leuven, Belgium. [1] The group created an online platform and social media presence to promote street artists and guide tours of street art around Leuven. [2] They partnered with local organizations for events, but faced budget issues that delayed their planned exhibition. [3] Going forward, the group aims to continue developing their online platform and social media, hold the exhibition later in 2012, restore an exterior wall mural in 2013, and support other street art initiatives in Leuven.
Between Public Domain and Private Funding. Public Private Partnerships for C...Max Kaiser
This document discusses public-private partnerships (PPPs) for digitizing cultural heritage collections. It outlines the objectives of both public and private partners in such partnerships. Public partners seek funding for digitization projects and ways to enhance access and engage new audiences. Private partners pursue commercial objectives like accessing new markets or building their brand through association with public cultural institutions. The document examines different models of PPPs and principles for ensuring they are balanced and maximize public access. It presents a case study of a large PPP between the Austrian National Library and Google to digitize the library's historical book collection in the public domain.
The document discusses the challenge of curating large amounts of digital content from Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums (GLAM) institutions to make it more useful and meaningful for various audiences. It provides examples of how Europeana has curated content for digital humanists studying newspapers, teachers exploring World War I sources, citizens on Wikipedia, art lovers on Wikidata and Wikipedia, and art professionals viewing high-resolution altarpieces. The key takeaways are to be open, generous, humble, aware of users, and repackage large datasets into smaller, contextualized and segmented datasets for specific user groups.
Beyond Open Access: Creating Culture By, With, and For the PublicMerete Sanderhoff
This document discusses how opening up access to cultural works and allowing public participation can help museums fulfill their mission. It provides examples from the Statens Museum for Kunst in Denmark of how they engaged the public by having artists remix works from their collection and contribute to Wikipedia. The museum found that members of the public were highly engaged and creative when given open access to digitized works. The document advocates for measuring cultural institutions' success by their impact on learning and happiness rather than control over collections.

Rony Vissers introduceerde kort het begrip open data, en maakte aan de hand van Tim Berners-Lee’s vijfsterrenschema voor open data duidelijk hoe open data en linked open data zich tot elkaar verhouden. Ook benadrukte hij dat het realiseren van open data meer is dan een loutere juridische en technische kwestie. Open data is niet enkel het openstellen van data, maar vooral ook het ontwikkelen van een visie en beleid m.b.t. het bruikbaar, vindbaar, bereikbaar en zichtbaar maken van data. Instrumenten om zo’n beleid in de praktijk te realiseren zijn o.a. Creative Commons-licenties, persistente identifiers, opendataplatformen en hackathons.
Tijdens deze workshop legde Rony Vissers uit wat technische metadata inhouden en welke andere types (ingebedde) metadata er bestaan. Hij introduceerde de belangrijkste standaarden op vlak van ingebedde metadata en toonde hoe je die metadata kan uitlezen met behulp van een gratis online tool, fotobewerkingssoftware en een standaard fotoviewer.
Bert Lemmens geeft op de collegagroep digitale participatie van 6 december 2019 een introductie in het opstellen van een dataprofiel met behulp van het Invulboek Objecten op CEST (www.projectcest.be).
Workshop 1 open_data by Nastasia VanderperrenPACKED vzw
Nastasia Vanderperren schetst de verschillen tussen open data en linked open data, introduceert enkele belangrijke termen m.b.t.het semantische web (zoals bv. graph en triple) en gaat in op de voordelen van linked open data. Daarnaast komen aan bod: rechtenverklaringen, metadata, linkrot en persistente identificatie, de PACKED-tool voor online persistente identificatie CultURIze, hergebruik, en de data pitch.
Nastasia Vanderperren geeft aan de collegegroep digitale collectieregistratie van 6 december 2019 een introductie tot automatische beelherkenningsservices en hun mogelijke toepassing in het beschrijven en classificeren van erfgoedcollecties.
Nathalie Monteyne en Eline Wellens van KMSKA vertelden hoe zij het ‘rechtenverhaal’ pragmatisch hebben aangepakt en binnen de organisatie een regelwerk opstelden om rechten te documenteren in hun collectiedatabank (TMS) en in hun beeldbeheersysteem (Resource Space).
Olivier Van Dhuynslager kwam vertellen over datacleaning bij het Gentse Design Museum. Nadat hij vaststelde dat hij een opstapje zou moeten maken van Open Refine naar Python om te kunnen doen wat hij wilde, heeft een steile leercurve van twee weken er voor gezorgd dat hij zijn projectdoelstellingen binnen enkele weken voltooid had.
Matthias Priem, manager digitalisering bij VIAA, schetst hoe VIAA verschillende ontsluitingsplatformen heeft uitgebouwd, en gaat dieper in op enkele belangrijke aspecten van ontsluiting:
1) Afspraken en licenties 2) Metadata 3) Content: uniforme formaten 4) Architectuur 5) Rapportering
Bert Lemmens geeft een introductie op het IIIF-framework, en legt vervolgens samen met Pascal Ennaert (Vlaamse Kunstcollectie) uit hoe VKC en PACKED een proefopstelling maakten van een IIIF-beeldinfrastructuur, gelinkt aan de VKC-datahub en de Blauwdruk gedistribueerd beeldbeheer.
Aan de slag met digitale transformatie.
De digitale omslag vereist dat culturele organisaties hun werking omvormen en digitale technologie aanwenden om hun missie te vervullen. Nood aan advies of ondersteuning bij die digitale transformatie? De fusie-organisatie LUKAS / PACKED / VIAA bundelt de krachten en kan misschien ook jou van dienst zijn. Deze sessie introduceert enkele recente projecten die inspiratie bieden om zelf op een doordachte manier met digitale transformatie aan de slag te gaan:
Het semantische web vereist dat culturele organisaties zich nieuwe digitale technologieën eigen maken. Rony Vissers en Bert Lemmens tonen hoe je van start kunt gaan met een digitale strategie voor je organisatie.
Hoe ver staat jouw organisatie op vlak van digitale ontwikkeling? Evalueer het zelf met de Zelfevaluatietool Digitale Maturiteit. Leer uit jouw score en vergelijk met andere culturele organisaties. Bart Magnus stelt de nieuwe tool voor en geeft een eerste inkijk in het gebruik ervan.
Een belangrijk aandachtspunt bij de opmaak van een digitale strategie is de gebruiker. Karen Vander Plaetse vertelt je hoe je bij ontsluitingsprojecten rekening kan houden met de gebruiker en geeft enkele concrete voorbeelden mee van VIAA's eigen platformen.
Presentation during the BeMuseum conference of 2019 about digital strategy and how the digital and digital transformation now permeates 'all' aspects of work at heritage institutions. How can we adapt to this change?

09042019 Wat is Wikidata? - arteveldehogeschoolPACKED vzw
PACKED presenteerde op 09/04/2019 een inleiding tot Linked Open Data voor medewerkers van de Arteveldehogeschool vertrekkende van de geschiedenis van het idee achter het semantische web, tot key-concepts zoals triples, graphs, persistente URI's, API's en SPARQL-queries. Daarna lichtte PACKED toe hoe ze Wikimedia-platformen gebruiken om erfgoed⁻ en cultuurcollecties een betere zichtbaarheid te geven en hergebruik en participatie aan te moedigen. Daarna organiseerden we een hands-on Wikidata workshop waarbij de deelnemers manueel records aanmaakten aan de hand van een dataset van het Felixarchief en demonstreerden we hoe een SPARQL-query werkt.
