Taking Citizen Science to Extremes: from the Arctic to the Rainforestmichalis_vitos
Citizen Science is hardly a new concept, but during the last decade it has seen a rise in both
academic and popular interest for the topic. This trend is in part driven by an increased
interest for open paradigms, as well as, Information Communication Technology (ICT)
innovations such as smartphones, mobile Internet and cloud computing. This has given
rise to the emergence of a growing and highly diverse crop of new – and often innovative –
initiatives that are being, or could be, labelled as Citizen Science.
Whilst there are often big differences between projects, for instance when it comes to
power relations – “Who is working for who?” – or the determination of goals and outcomes
– “Who is solving whose problems?” – there is hope that, at the very least, this rediscovery
of citizen science might lead to a renewed mutual interest, and perhaps understanding,
between scientists and the general public.
Most citizen science initiatives are set in affluent areas of the world, and by and large they
target an educated, or at least literate, public. Extreme Citizen Science aspires to extend the
reach and potential of citizen science beyond this restricted context and is defined as:
Extreme Citizen Science is a situated, bottom-up practice that takes into account local
needs, practices and culture and works with broad networks of people to design and build
new devices and knowledge creation processes that can transform the world.
In this presentation, we are going to explore the various ExCiteS projects that span from the
Arctic – where we aim to develop tools grounded in the needs of Yupik and Iñupiaq coastal
subsistence hunters who are adapting to the rapidly changing climate – to the Congo basin
rainforest – where we enable marginalised and forest communities to better to share their
vast environmental knowledge more effectively locally and with other regional, national and
global stakeholders.
We aim to design, develop, evaluate and deploy a generic platform that enables people with
no or limited literacy – in the strict and broader technological sense – to use smartphones
and tablets to collect, share, and analyse (spatial) data along with a methodology for
introducing, engaging and empowering marginalised communities to participate in and
benefit from citizen science. The platform is and will be used in a variety of concrete
projects, often related to environmental monitoring. Ultimately the goal is to let
communities build so-called Community Memories: evolving, shared representations of the
state of their environment, their relationship with it, and any threats it faces.

Presentation at the Australasian Consortium of Humanities Research Centres (ACHRC), July 2013. Panel description:
The Digital Humanities offers not only new tools to support what we do in the Humanities, but also new ways of thinking about what it is that we do. This panel will build upon Alan Liu’s keynote discussion of ideas for digital tools for humanities advocacy and speak to the way non-digital centres can benefit from digital humanities initiatives.
This is a ppt from my recent talk to an international group of professionals Black Sea and Balkan Regions on Culture and Sustainable Development hosted by the Ministry of Culture of Bulgaria.
The presentation is interactive based on personal research multiple sources. It is meant to be moderated and leading from general to some more specific insights on sustainable networks in culture.
Core message - networks are essential for business, policy makers, creators because they maintain the innovation drive and the cross-over and spill-over effects. In particular the engagemnet of public and users in designing together policies, practices, production and distribution are the focus of regional COOPERATION.

Estimate of 70% of analogue holdings never becoming digital; other information on cost-effective digitisation, digital preservation and a 4-part mantra for access: granularity, navigation, citation and annotation.
As more and more chapters develop and implement their GLAM outreach programs, it is time to talk about evaluation again. An earlier workshop on this topic was held at Wikimania 2013 in order to reach a shared vision of what may be achieved by different types of GLAM outreach activities. The results have been documented on the Outreach Wiki. In parallel, the WMF Programme Evaluation team has produced several evaluation reports about programs including one on GLAM content release partnerships, and the GLAM-wiki Toolset Project coordinated by the Europeana Foundation and supported by Wikimedia Netherlands, Wikimedia France, Wikimedia UK, and Wikimedia CH has produced a Report on requirements for usage and reuse statistics for GLAM content. As we work as a community to further develop evaluation strategies and systematic measures we invite community members engaged in GLAM outreach activities to take part in this strategy workshop.
Open Culture Data: Opening GLAM Data Bottom-up Johan Oomen
Open Culture Data started as a grassroots movement at the end of 2011, with the aim to open up data in the cultural sector and stimulate (creative) reuse. In this context, we organised a hackathon, which resulted in the creation of 13 Open Culture Data apps. After this successful first half year, a solid network of cultural heritage professionals, copyright and open data experts and developers was formed. In April 2012, an Open Culture Data masterclass started in which 17 institutions got practical, technical and legal advice on how to open their data for re-use. Furthermore, we organised an app competition and three hackathons, in which developers were stimulated to re-use Open Cultural Datasets in new and innovative ways. These activities resulted in 27 more apps and 34 open datasets. In this paper we share lessons-learned that will inform heritage institutions with real-life quantitative and qualitative experiences, best practices and guidelines from their peers for opening up data and the ways in which this data is reused. Since the open culture data field is still relatively young, this is highly relevant information needed to stimulate others to join the open data movement. To this end, we are already taking steps to cross the borders and let Europe know about the initiative, on both a practical and a policy level.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

"Opening GLAM Data Bottom-up" by Maarten Brinkerink
1. OPEN CULTURE DATA:
Opening GLAM Data Bottum-Up
Open Cultural Heritage Data in
the Nordic Countries
Maarten Brinkerink
Malmö, April 24, 2013
t: @OpenCultuurData | #opencultuurdata
2. WHAT
Open Cultuur Data (Open Culture Data) is a
network of cultural professionals, developers,
designers, copyright specialists and open
data experts, that opens cultural data and
encourages the development of valuable
cultural applications. This makes culture
accessible in new ways to a broader public.
3. WHY
Cultural institutions (or GLAMs) have a wealth of information
locked up in their vaults. They preserve and store unique
collections, they have an enourmous amount of knowledge
about these collections (context, metadata), produce
information and collect reactions from visitors.
More and more cultural institutions make this information
digitally accessible. This creates many new opportunities –
for the institutions themselves but also for third parties – to
use this information to create new applications and websites,
allowing us to participate in arts and culture in new ways.
However, this data is often very difficult to access for others.
4. STIMULATING COLLABORATION AND CREATIVITY
“No matter who you are,
most of the smartest people work for someone else.” Joy’s Law
PUBLIC MISSION
“For [GLAM] content to be truly accessible, it needs to be where the users
are, embedded in their daily networked lives.” Waibel and Erway, 2009
5. NEELIE KROES | VICE-president for the EC digital agenda & Open Data
“I urge cultural institutions to open up control
of their data [...] there is a wonderful
opportunity to show how cultural material can
contribute to innovation, how it can become a
driver of new developments. Museums,
archives and libraries should not miss
it.”
6.
7. HOW
Open Cultuur Data supports the cultural heritage
sector in the release of culture data in the following
way:
•encourage making more open culture data available
•collecting culture data sets in a national catalogue
•collecting and sharing knowledge and experience with open
culture data
•encouraging the making of new applications based on open
culture data
8. 1. Open Culture Data is knowledge and
information of cultural institutions,
organisations or initiatives about their
collections and/or works
defining open culture data
9. 2. Everyone can consult, use, spread
and reuse Open Culture Data
(through an open license or by
making material available in the
Public Domain)
defining open culture data
10. 3. Open Culture Data is available in a
digital (standard) format that makes
reuse possible
defining open culture data
11. 4. The structure and possible
applications of Open Culture Data
are documented in a ‘data blog’
defining open culture data
12. 5. The provider of the Open Culture
Data is prepared to answer
questions about the data from

Estimated length of entire S&V archive: 750,000h
Estimated length of ‘our’ newsreel collection: 500h
Estimated length of material in Open Images: 110h
So currently 22% of ‘our’ newsreel collection is
openly available through Open Images and
0,015% of our entire archive.

IMPACT TRHOUGH WIKIMEDIA
52. SOME (MAJOR) CHALLENGES
– What are proper metrics to analyse the
impact of external reuse?
– How to value different ‘types of
interaction’ with the open content?
– How does the impact of external reuse
relate to the impact of institutionally
owned channels?
53. • Public mission
• Data enrichment
• Increasing relevance
• Increasing channels to end users
• Brand value
• Specific funding oppurtunities
• Discoverability
• New customers/ users
• Building expertise
• Desired spill-over effects/ creating new business

BENEFITS OF OPEN CULTURE DATA
56. • Have access to expertise on the dimensions of
collection
• Buy-in from the senior management is essential =>
focus on value add
• Necessity to invest in engagement with third parties
• Face to face meetups are extremely valuable
(masterclasses f.i.)
• Start with something sweet and small
• On hackatons:
• It doesn’t just happen – lots and lots of effort
• Search for sustainability
• Not all data is equally popular
Lessons Learned
57. • GLAMetrics
• Improve API search
• Executive track
• Focussed challenges (education etc.)
• OpenCultuurData.be
