This document discusses the Yale Center for British Art's use of IIIF (International Image Interoperability Framework) to make their digital collections more accessible and shareable. It provides an overview of IIIF APIs and tools like Mirador that allow interoperable image viewing. The YCBA has implemented IIIF to make public domain works freely available and to share metadata and images in open, linked data formats. This supports their goals of enabling open access, data exchange, and collaborative research on British art worldwide.
A brief presentation I gave recently for a Museum and Gallery Services Queensland (http://www.magsq.com.au/) event, highlighting some good examples of collecting institutions making innovative use of online technologies.
On 18th June 2008, 20 or so people met for a day of mashing - taking museum-related data sources and connecting them together in a range of different ways. This is what we got up to.
There's also a video showing the various contributions at http://electronicmuseum.blip.tv/#1035339
1) Museums provide access to collections to generate value in the form of memory, joy and awe. Only a small percentage of collections can be accessed physically due to space and time limitations.
2) Value is a social and cultural concept that is shaped by networks and conventions and can change over time. It includes economic, moral, aesthetic, and other forms of cultural value. Information is key to valuation processes.
3) Wikipedia provides highly accessible, sustainable access to knowledge and serves as a living archive with a common mission with museums of providing access to all human knowledge. Collections on Wikipedia can reach new audiences and be repositioned in new contexts.

This document discusses museums' production of media over time. It begins by providing background on the author and their interest in how museums have responded to converging media technologies. Historically, museums published catalogues, guides, and volumes as their main products. Early innovations included using gramophones, film, and radio broadcasts. As technologies advanced, museums adopted planetariums, film projectors, audio guides, television shows, computers and digital interactives. Now, mobile devices and transmedia projects allow content to reach wider audiences across multiple platforms. The production process involves networks of people both within and outside museums, with objects and media passing through various stages of editing, interpretation and translation.

The Nation is in the Network: Online networks at the British MuseumRebecca Kahn
The document discusses how the British Museum projects its identity online through its digital networks and sphere of influence. It notes that while the museum was originally established through Britain's colonial network, it now aims to be universal and projects an identity as "A Museum of the World, for the World." The document maps the museum's current digital network through tools that harvest URLs and trace link relationships, finding that most links remain within countries, though the museum seeks to expand its online reach through loans, exhibitions, and fieldwork around the world. It argues museums should consider cultivating strong digital connections rather than just pursuing breadth on social media.

Power Grid Model
The global energy transition is placing new and unprecedented demands on Distribution System Operators (DSOs). Alongside upgrades to grid capacity, processes such as digitization, capacity optimization, and congestion management are becoming vital for delivering reliable services.
Power Grid Model is an open source project from Linux Foundation Energy and provides a calculation engine that is increasingly essential for DSOs. It offers a standards-based foundation enabling real-time power systems analysis, simulations of electrical power grids, and sophisticated what-if analysis. In addition, it enables in-depth studies and analysis of the electrical power grid’s behavior and performance. This comprehensive model incorporates essential factors such as power generation capacity, electrical losses, voltage levels, power flows, and system stability.
Power Grid Model is currently being applied in a wide variety of use cases, including grid planning, expansion, reliability, and congestion studies. It can also help in analyzing the impact of renewable energy integration, assessing the effects of disturbances or faults, and developing strategies for grid control and optimization.
What to expect
For the upcoming meetup we are organizing, we have an exciting lineup of activities planned:
-Insightful presentations covering two practical applications of the Power Grid Model.
-An update on the latest advancements in Power Grid -Model technology during the first and second quarters of 2024.
-An interactive brainstorming session to discuss and propose new feature requests.
-An opportunity to connect with fellow Power Grid Model enthusiasts and users.

Digital Banking in the Cloud: How Citizens Bank Unlocked Their MainframePrecisely
Inconsistent user experience and siloed data, high costs, and changing customer expectations – Citizens Bank was experiencing these challenges while it was attempting to deliver a superior digital banking experience for its clients. Its core banking applications run on the mainframe and Citizens was using legacy utilities to get the critical mainframe data to feed customer-facing channels, like call centers, web, and mobile. Ultimately, this led to higher operating costs (MIPS), delayed response times, and longer time to market.
Ever-changing customer expectations demand more modern digital experiences, and the bank needed to find a solution that could provide real-time data to its customer channels with low latency and operating costs. Join this session to learn how Citizens is leveraging Precisely to replicate mainframe data to its customer channels and deliver on their “modern digital bank” experiences.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity serverAntonios Katsarakis
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

Goal
Emmanuelle Delmas-Glass Yale Technology Summit 2015
My colleagues have explained in much detail what IIIF is and how it is supporting this important research project at the Center. My intent in the next few minutes is to give you an overview of the YCBA digital strategy and how the IIIF technology fits in it.
First let me start by saying that the Yale Center for British is committed to using technology to make its collections as widely accessible as possible and this digital strategy is supported by 4 critical elements:
Open Access policy
Data exchange standards and protocols
Open source tools
Linked Open Data
In the next few minutes I will show how IIIF checks all these boxes.
As you know the Centers’ collections data is exposed via the web in human readable format through our online collections catalog. This catalog allows users to search and view documents as well as images through the web and on mobile devices.
Thousands of images of works in the Center’s collection believed to be in the public domain are available for free through the Center’s online collection catalogue, which will soon be BlackLight.
The green box shown here is where users choose the image sizes they can download free of charge.
Indeed, since 2011, under Yale University’s Open Access Policy, anyone may use the Center’s open access material without further application, authorization, or fees due to the Center or to Yale, that includes commercial purposes and high resolution images. (The Yale policy specifically addresses works in the public domain, and doesn’t address works under copyright.)
The YCBA implemented this policy with a great degree of openness, which was quite groundbreaking in 2011.
“I think we were one of, if not the first, to offer a completely straightforward, no strings attached hi-res download and to have a policy that placed no commercial or credit restrictions on usage whatsoever.” – Melissa Fournier, YCBA
But the website is the tip of the iceberg for us. We also disseminate our digital resources in a programmatic fashion, which is more efficient when dealing with large data aggregators, such as Google and Artstor or even Yale’s own Cross-Collections Discovery service. How did we do that? We contributed our dataset via the OAI-PMH (Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting) data exchange protocol called following an international XML metadata harvesting schema called LIDO.
Both LIDO and OAI-PMH are community developed standards and work with the open source software that were designed by CoggApp for OCLC Online Computer Library Center. It is worth mentioning that YCBA’s David Parsell reconfigured COBOAT to work for LIDO since COBOAT was originally configured to work with CDWA Lite.
Machine readable data can also be accessed querying our Linked Open Data semantic endpoint. As many other cultural heritage institutions, the Center has been digitizing its collections for quite some time (cataloguing and imaging) but unlike many others, at least in the United States, it has taken the additional step to organize its data with an ontology called the CIDOC-Conceptual Reference Model. The CRM has been developed over many years, and is still developed by a community of active cultural heritage institutions practitioners, and is supported by the International Council of Museums’ Committee of Documentation (ICOM CIDOC).
As a side note here I would like to say that we use LIDO as a transport mechanism but the CRM represents the knowledge that the Center outputs much better and we will see why in a minute.
So let’s look very briefly what are LOD and the CRM.
Per Tim Berners-Lee, Linked Open Data is a method of publishing structured, linked, and open data using standard Web technologies such as HTTP, RDF and URIs.
Resource Description Framework is the format used to express statements in LOD.
But LOD could be used in any which way. Rather, as always when the Center publishes data out, we leverage community developed standards, and in this case we use the semantic framework of the CRM because it has been developed specifically for the cultural heritage sector.
How does the CRM work? The role of the CRM ontology is to harmonize the relationships created between things, people, places, events, times, and concepts across multiple datasets.
The CRM is not a metadata schema, and does not require changing of cataloguing practices or controlled vocabularies. It seats above all of that as a more generic semantic framework that allows creating meaningful connections between data entities.
So why is the CRM so important? Why didn’t we chose Google’s Schema.org as our ontology?
Data enrichment: the ability to increase the value of structured data
Data harmonization: the ability to integrate data from different sources
Computer reasoning and inference: the ability to use computers to help with analysis and interpretation
CRM fully supports knowledge representation
CRM fully supports YCBA’s goal to contribute the highest quality research data possible to the network
I am glad to report that IIIF and the Mirador image viewer measure up to our high standards and tick all the boxes of our digital strategy:
In terms of open access policy, IIIF not only supports interoperability between image repositories and breaks down the barriers between image databases/silos but it also leverages our open access resources. A note here to thank Melissa Fournier, YCBA’s Manager Imaging Services and Intellectual Property, whose forward thinking management of our digital assets was the crucial foundation for the Center’s adoption of IIIF, especially where Jpeg2000 are concerned.
It is an international standard actively developed by an active community
It works with a variety of image viewers, Mirador being an open source one.
And finally it outputs Linked Open Data, which, as you now know, has become a cornerstone of our digital strategy to correctly represent our scholarly content for the semantic web environment. The principles of Linked Data and the architecture of the Web are adopted in order to provide a distributed and interoperable system. (The Shared Canvas data model is leveraged in a specific, JSON based format that is easy to implement without understanding RDF, but is still compatible with it. As such it can be seen as a recommended serialization profile for Shared Canvas.)
Our goal is to share our digital resources in formats that allow for easy creative and scholarly reuse so that we can contribute to the study of British Art worldwide. In addition to our semantic endpoint we plan on contributing our RDF dataset to the Mellon funded ResearchSpace.
