Today I want to talk about abundance, the deluge of content that we produce, also in the Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums (GLAM)-sector. How can we make such abundance of content meaningful and useful to citizens, researchers, educators and students? How can we make it easier for them to find that specific needle in the haystack?

Europeana Collections: Archaeology in Europeana, Nienke van SchaverbekeCARARE
Europeana Collections provides access to over 50 million digitised items – books, music, artworks and more – with various search and filter tools to help users to find what they’re looking for. Thematic collections enable browsing of themed subsets (such as 1914-18, Art, Maps and Geography and Photography) and provide access to exhibitions, galleries and blog posts. Archaeology content in Europeana is not yet available through a designated search entry point (a thematic collection) but this is under development. van Shaverbeke describes two ways of supporting this thematic collection - identification of known datasets, and by inclusion of identified subject concepts from multilingual vocabularies such as the Getty's AAT. In her presentation, van Shaverbeke goes on to describe potential re-uses of archaeology content - by the creative industries, in education and research/

Keynote at Arts & Culture track, re;publica19 in Berlin, 7 May 2019. Description:
Digital technologies and the Internet give museums fantastic opportunities to engage and empower audiences through open access to digital collections. So who is leading the way and what approaches are they using? Reflecting on his current work at Europeana, and fresh from co-leading a global survey of open access in the GLAM (Gallery, Library, Archive, Museum) sector, Douglas shares insights into the key trends and challenges in this space.
“How can the digital era inspire museums to rethink their status as hubs of knowledge exchange, democratic dialogue, and genuine social experiences in an open society?” Merete Sanderhoff, Statens Museum for Kunst
This question encapsulates the opportunities and challenges faced by museums today. In line with their everyday digital lives, people expect deeper and more personal forms of interaction with museums and their collections; participation, not passivity. For cultural heritage organisations, enabling open access to digitised public domain works should be seen as an important driver of democratisation and greater societal relevance. Embracing this vision requires cultural institutions to remodel themselves from knowledge arbiters to welcoming facilitators; new attitudes, policies and practices are needed.
What is the big picture of open access in the GLAM sector today? Where is innovation happening and who is driving it? What challenges does open access pose to museums and how might these be overcome? This session aims to answer these questions and provide a broad perspective on the field. It draws on keynote speaker Douglas McCarthy’s experiences working internationally in museums, archives, art collections – and now Europeana – for the past twenty years. It also includes fresh insights from the global survey of Open GLAM policy and practice that Douglas co-leads with Dr. Andrea Wallace, Lecturer of Law at the University of Exeter.
One of the challenges of every educational experience is developing meaningful understanding while stimulating interest. Combining online learning content with multimedia resources can be a solution for educators.

Address to the conference ‘Museums in the Digital Sphere: Opportunities and Challenges’ held on 6 October 2017 at the Pinakothek der Moderne, Munich, Germany.
The event provided an opportunity to analyse the needs and wishes of museum visitors in the 21st century and to open up topics such as digital collections, transparency, and open access to public discussion. It addressed technical restrictions (databases, structures, resources) and legal limitations (copyright, image rights) as well as the opportunities created by interlinking multiple collections in comprehensive platforms such as the Deutsche Digitale Bibliothek (German Digital Library – DDB), ‘bavarikon’, Europeana and introduce initiatives such as #openGLAM.
Douglas presented Europeana, a unique digital resource where thousands of cultural institutions – from regional archives to national museums – share their collections online. Douglas emphasised the benefits of working with Europeana's community of 1700+ digital heritage and tech experts to expand and improve access to our shared cultural heritage. He outlined the opportunities for cultural institutions to showcase their collections with Europeana and to engage citizens within and beyond Europe.

An Embarrassment of Riches: Crowds, Communities, and Curation in Digital Open...Tim Hill
At what point does the sheer scale of the available open data itself obstruct openness? Galleries, libraries, archives, and museums are digitising at an increasing pace, and with a growing awareness of the importance of licensing issues and open access. Europeana, long at the forefront of these efforts in the EU context, recently passed the 50millionitem mark in its collections, and other national and international infrastructures are achieving similar milestones. But digitisation and aggregation at this scale mean that modelling richness is in effect often lost. Data heterogeneity across collections, and individual datasets curated to support only certain, very specific, scenarios within them, often combine so that only the very minimal metadata needed for information exchange is available to endusers. Ironically, volume and cataloguing criteria thus potentially combine to put open culture proponents in the position of those intelligence agencies that ‘open’ their miles of archive shelfspace to investigators, but fail to provide an index.
Attention at Europeana and similar organisations has accordingly turned recently to adding structure and semantics to digital open data in a way that makes it more usable, transparent, and comprehensible to endusers. The technologies used and the way they are applied vary with organization, domain, and usecase, and include but are not limited to: semantic enrichment and datamining; personalisation features; crowdsourcing and annotation frameworks; and the creation of knowledge graphs. These technologies all have their own particular advantages and limitations, as will be discussed in brief casestudies. In particular, a strong division is evident between datadriven, empirical approaches such as datamining and usercentric technologies such as crowdsourcing and personalisation. In the ideal case, however, these two tendencies converge on the notion of a ‘user community’ a group, it will be argued, that not only ‘uses’ or ‘consumes’ open data, but shapes it, gives it meaning, and endows it with value.

Cultural heritage embraces resources inherited from the past and offers a great variety of opportunities to the present: monuments, sites and traditions, but also visual arts, cinema, TV and radio archives.
In this framework, the Media of the Euro-Mediterranean region – both traditional and new ones – have to play their role, particularly given the challenges that such issue implies in terms of content production, audiovisual documents preservation and impact of the digital transition as a tool for the safeguard and enhancement of our common heritage.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

I would like to praise your wonderful initiative, which allowed me to
have an amazing experience. When I was a child, my grandmother used to
tell me about her brother who had died in battle during World War I. Recentl
y, out of idle curiosity, I Googled his name and ... up came his full personal f
ile, stored on Europeana. When I saw on screen the same
photo that has been hanging in my lounge for decades, I was shocked
as if I had seen a phantom! But it was moving to find out details about
his life and death, and where his personal file is being kept (a museum
archive, which I intend to visit soon). Thank you for helping younger
generations to retrieve and cherish such memories.
Europeana is a wonderful project.
