The document discusses using third party data sources and linking data to enrich information from various cultural institutions like museums and archives. It questions whether having many Twitter followers necessarily indicates high quality content or a broad geographic reach, noting the statistics can be flawed by cross-following. Extracting information from news articles and parliamentary records was also mentioned as a way to reuse cultural data.

Museums' Role in Fostering and Managing Geographically Related Cultural Herit...Alessandro Califano, PhD
This presentation has been prepared for the Muzeum @ Digit Conference 2016 at the Hungarian National Museum (Budapest, 22-23 November 2016). It describes an open source solution - as are those proposed and fostered by OSACA, the Open Source Alliance of Central Asia, founded in Kabul in October 2011 - to map and manage a knowledge base related to both governmental mining prospects and cultural heritage protection. Though based on case studies located in Afghanistan, this solution would be well suited for being applied in many different contexts, too.Europeana in a Research Context

#arthistory: Mining Social Media to Historicize the Contemporary
Slides from my talk for the #arlis2015 panel "Creating New Worlds: The Digital Humanities and the Future of Art Research Methodologies" sched.co/27gu
Abstract:
The ubiquity of image- and video- based social media platforms like InstaGram, Tumblr, and Vine give art history students an opportunity to engage dynamically with contemporary imagery in a live setting. This paper will describe how engaging critically with images in social media can provide valuable insights into audience response to contemporary and historical art, along with an ever-changing catalog of the contemporary gaze; as well as offering students exposure to concepts of metadata, text mining, information literacy, data visualization, and copyright and fair use.

Recording public archaeological discovery
The document discusses the Portable Antiquities Scheme (PAS), which records archaeological objects found by the public in England and Wales. It notes that over 449,359 objects have been recorded online in the PAS database over the past 7 years. It also describes ongoing research projects, a new database built in-house, and new functions that pull and link data from other sources to enhance the PAS records. The document demonstrates some of the new database's mapping and visualization capabilities. It concludes by announcing a new website launching in April at www.finds.org.uk.
MCG Spring meeting presentation: The Staffordshire Hoard
The Staffordshire Hoard was uncovered in July 2009 and was launched publicly on the 24th September with a hastily assembled website. This paper tells the story.
Presentation for Linked Ancient World Data Institute
The document discusses linking portable antiquities data to other resources using semantic web technologies. It describes work done to link finds data to places in Pleiades and people in Nomisma using RDFa. It also discusses extracting entities from text using OpenCalais and mapping data to ontologies like CIDOC-CRM. Challenges around implementation include knowledge, resources, and choosing appropriate ontologies. The presentation provides examples of how the data has been enriched by linking to resources like Wikipedia, Geonames, and DBPedia.
W3G conference: Geodata at the British Museum
The British Museum uses geodata from the Portable Antiquities Scheme to enhance archaeological records. The Scheme has recorded over 640,000 objects found by 17,900 contributors, with 400,000 finds given geo-referenced locations. Spatial data is important for context and provenance without which museums cannot acquire objects. The Museum integrates old maps and obtains additional geodata by querying Flickr and other sources to provide more information about discovery locations.
Distributing the wealth
This document discusses strategies for increasing access to numismatic data and knowledge. It proposes developing a standardized format (NUDS) for recording coin data, creating a coin database that links to other resources, and optimizing search visibility and user experience through features like dropdown menus and linked data. The goal is to more widely distribute numismatic information and engage the public in contributing data to help research.
Current Archaeology conference 2010
The Portable Antiquities Scheme (PAS) database records archaeological objects found by the public in England and Wales. It contains over 400,000 records after just 7 years. The PAS database is freely available online and is used extensively by both professional researchers and the general public, receiving millions of online visitors each year. However, the PAS is continuing to develop the database further by enhancing the data, improving mapping functions, and enabling additional crowdsourced contributions to disseminate archaeological knowledge as widely as possible.
Sisyphus and the troll on the gate ofthe digital divide
The document discusses barriers to participation with the Portable Antiquities Scheme online database. It notes that while the database has grown significantly since 2001 and has over 750,000 objects recorded, a significant portion of the population still does not use the internet, most being over 65, disadvantaged, or on low incomes. Barriers exist both for producers of digital content, such as lack of funding, resources, and IT skills, and for consumers, such as poor usability, lack of skills, and slow internet access. The presenter emphasizes that producing digital content is an ongoing challenge requiring constant updating and that not all audiences can be pleased.
Website development for FLO meeting
This document provides an overview of the daily responsibilities and tasks of a digital wizard who maintains a search engine and database for archaeological finds. The digital wizard cleans data, maintains system uptime, writes and optimizes code, answers public queries, and performs many other roles to keep the technology up-to-date on a limited budget. Traffic to the database website has grown significantly since 2006. The digital wizard develops code locally and on GitHub before deployment, and works to continuously improve features and integrate new data sources.

Digital archaeology and museums
The document discusses the Portable Antiquities Scheme, which operates the largest archaeological database in the world containing records of over 480,000 objects found by the public in England and Wales. It provides an overview of the Scheme's importance in research, its transition to a centralized online database system, and examples of how the data is being reused and mashed up with other datasets through open APIs to create new opportunities for research and public engagement.
Database Progress
The document provides an overview and status update of the Project Beowulf database. It discusses what has been completed, including building a content management system, integrating sites, and developing search, numismatic, and reference interfaces. It also outlines what remains to be done, such as finishing image and data management, installing on new servers, and beta testing. The database was built using open source LAMP stack and integrates third party data sources and services.
Philippa Walton Utrecht Icomon lecture
The document discusses using data from the Portable Antiquities Scheme (PAS) to analyze the distribution of Roman coins across Britain. It notes that the PAS database contains over 58,000 Roman coins and allows analyzing the national distribution of coins across more than 2,850 parishes. Compared to previous research focusing on excavated urban sites, the PAS data reveals over 400 new essentially rural sites discovered through metal detecting that have yielded more than 20 Roman coins. Regional analysis of coin distribution is demonstrated for Lincolnshire, and one site discussed in more detail is Piercebridge which has yielded over 100 datable coins.
World Archaeology Congress paper
The Portable Antiquities Scheme records archaeological objects found by the public in England and Wales. It has created the largest archaeological database online with over 338,000 records and images. The Scheme works with metal detectorists and the public to record finds that would otherwise be lost. It provides valuable data for research and heritage protection.
The marvellous world of RADIATES
The document discusses eight groups of Roman coins called radiates from 27 BC to AD 330. Key points include:
1) Radiate bust coins were first introduced by Emperor Caracalla in AD 211-217 to represent the sun god Sol.
2) Silver radiates circulated from AD 238-260 during the decline of the Roman Empire. The coins of Gallienus and his family from AD 260-268 are the most commonly found radiates.
3) Usurpers in Gaul issued radiate coins under the Gallic Empire from AD 260-274, including Postumus and the Tetrici brothers. These issues were often more silver than contemporary Roman coins.

This presentation was provided by Steph Pollock of The American Psychological Association’s Journals Program, and Damita Snow, of The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), for the initial session of NISO's 2024 Training Series "DEIA in the Scholarly Landscape." Session One: 'Setting Expectations: a DEIA Primer,' was held June 6, 2024.How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.
