Mapping Historical Photos For The Common Good
The document discusses LookBackMaps, a website that geotags historical photos to make local history more accessible. It summarizes how digital archives have evolved from siloed collections in the 1990s to more open and collaborative models today. It also outlines LookBackMaps' goals to bridge archive silos by creating a centralized, open-source database of images and metadata, using public engagement to add value and make the data searchable via an API. Finally, it notes an iPhone app is in development and solicits feedback.

Boutique Big Data: Understanding 19th-Century Reprint Culture With Plagiarism...
From their earliest incarnations in the seventeenth-century, through their Georgian expansion into provincial and colonial markets and culminating in their late-Victorian transformation into New Journalism, British newspapers have relied upon scissors-and-paste journalism to meet consumer demands for the latest political intelligence and diverting content. Although this practice, wherein one newspaper extracted or wholly duplicated content from another, is well known to scholars of the periodical press, in-depth analysis of the process is hindered by the lack of formal records relating to the reprinting process. Although anecdotes abound, attributions were rarely and inconsistently given and, with no legal requirement to recompense the original author, formal records of where material was obtained were unnecessary. Even if they had existed, the number of titles that relied upon reprinted material makes systematic analysis impossible; for many periodicals, only a few issues, let alone business records, survive. However, mass digitisation of these periodicals, in both photographic and machine-readable form, offers historians a new opportunity to rediscover the mechanics of nineteenth-century reprinting. By undertaking multi-modal and multi-scale analyses of digitised periodicals, we can begin to reconstruct the precise journeys these texts took from their first appearance to their multiple ends. Moreover, by repurposing individual ‘boutique’ research outputs within large-scale textual analyses, we can greatly enhance the resolution of our computer-aided conclusions and bridge the gaps between commercial, state and private databases.
This paper will explore the possibilities of large-scale reprint identification, using out-of-the-box and project-specific software and the nature of multi-scale analysis and how we might best reintegrate ‘boutique’ research into large-scale text-mining projects.

Mashups & Data Visualizations: The New Breed of Web Applications
Web 2.0 is opening the doors to tools and toolkits for do-it-yourself (DIY) programming that requires no knowledge about programming. Find out what mashups are and how libraries are making use of them to create rich, new information services and content. Look at some of the intriguing and robust new data visualization tools, such as IBM’s alphworks, swivel, gapminder (bought by Google), etc. that can put the power of spreadsheets online for everyone in your organization to present their information as tag clouds, bar and pie charts, bubble maps, and more.

MLA Handout 2012
This document discusses Preservation Detroit's use of Flickr to catalog and provide access to its collection of over 200 books on local history, architecture, and preservation. Previously, access to the books was by appointment only with no catalog. Flickr was chosen as it provided a simple, volunteer-friendly way to upload book cover photos, add metadata, and make the collection searchable online with no technology experience required. The cataloging process using Flickr is demonstrated to be straightforward. While it is too early to determine increased usage, Flickr allows for creative uses of special collections beyond a traditional catalog.

SAFETY NETS: RESCUE AND REVIVAL FOR ENDANGERED BORN-DIGITAL RECORDS- Program ...
The web is now firmly established as the primary communication and publication platform for sharing and accessing social and cultural materials. This networked world has created both opportunities and pitfalls for libraries and archives in their mission to preserve and provide ongoing access to knowledge. How can the affordances of the web be leveraged to drastically extend the plurality of representation in the archive? What challenges are imposed by the intrinsic ephemerality and mutability of online information? What methodological reorientations are demanded by the scale and dynamism of machine-generated cultural artifacts? This talk will explore the interplay of the web, contemporary historical records, and the programs, technologies, and approaches by which libraries and archives are working to extend their mission to preserve and provide access to the evidence of human activity in a world distinguished by the ubiquity of born-digital materials.
Information Science Brown Bag talks, hosted by the Program on Information Science, consists of regular discussions and brainstorming sessions on all aspects of information science and uses of information science and technology to assess and solve institutional, social and research problems. These are informal talks. Discussions are often inspired by real-world problems being faced by the lead discussant.

Data 2.0 - Harnessing New Data Visualization Tools CIL 2008
What happens when you combine data and Web 2.0?
Mountains of data are piling up in libraries and corporate intranets, but how do we say it visually and make data more useful? Fichter looks at new online tools that enable sharing, analysis, and data visualization to show trends, associations and new insights on your library website that quickly engage, inform, and empower your customers to create their own visualizations. Tools such as Many Eyes go beyond the data visualization and tap into the social dimension encouraging sharing, collaboration, and reuse. Fichter talks about what happens when data goes “social.” From visual dictionaries, textual analysis of works of fiction, to star size and nutritional components of Big Macs, hop on board for this fast-paced look at an amazing set of tools that are at your fingertips.
Data Accessibility and Me: Introducing SIOC, FOAF and the Linked Data Web
The document discusses the need for data portability across social media services so that users can access all of their data in one place. It proposes using semantic web technologies like FOAF, SIOC, and linked data to connect user profiles and content across different sites and applications.

This document discusses a presentation on Linked Open Data in libraries, archives, and museums. The presentation introduces Linked Open Data and how it is being used in cultural heritage institutions. It discusses representing data as graphs using triples and RDF, important vocabularies and ontologies, and following Tim Berners-Lee's principles of Linked Data. The presentation also covers legal and licensing considerations for publishing open cultural data on the web.
Linked Open Data in Libraries, Archives & Museums
This document provides an overview of Linked Open Data for libraries, archives, and museums. It discusses the growing movement of LODLAM and how it allows these cultural institutions to represent their data as graphs using triples that describe entities in a machine-readable format. Key concepts covered include the use of URIs, RDF, vocabularies, and different legal tools for publishing open data.
Linked Open Data in Libraries Archives & Museums
The document discusses the growing Linked Open Data (LOD) movement in libraries, archives, and museums (LODLAM). It notes that LODLAM allows these institutions to explore data interoperability both within the cultural sector and more broadly on the web. The document outlines several outcomes of a LODLAM summit, including outreach, education, developing use cases, and examining issues around copyright and licensing of open data. Examples are provided of institutions that have published bibliographic and other cultural data using open licenses.
Civil War Data 150 at Talis Linked Data Open Day
This document discusses steps for creating linked open data from disparate datasets. It recommends:
1. Sharing raw data in non-proprietary formats like CSV and using open licenses.
2. Aligning data to common identifiers like battles and regiments to link datasets.
3. Defining data consistently using URLs so machines can understand and link to other URLs to grow the web of data.
It also discusses how individuals can download and use published open data and how linked open data can unlock information for libraries, archives, and museums.
