Rolf Källman Models for national collaboration Vancouver sept 2012Digisam
The document discusses models for national collaboration on coordinating the digital cultural heritage in Sweden. It describes how the Swedish government oversees cultural agencies and institutions through annual directives and evaluations. There are 24 agencies responsible for collecting, preserving, digitizing and disseminating cultural heritage materials across archives, libraries and museums. In 2009, the government initiated a process to develop a national digitization strategy. This led to the establishment of DIGISAM in 2011 to coordinate efforts and make recommendations across agencies. DIGISAM's role is to help produce scalable solutions and define responsibilities to improve access to and preservation of Sweden's digital cultural heritage.

This document summarizes the work of Digisam, a Swedish coordination secretariat for digital preservation. Digisam aims to 1) make recommendations for coordinated management of digital collections, 2) develop proposals for long-term digital preservation, and 3) define roles for aggregating, accessing, and preserving digital cultural heritage. It notes different types of digital information held by archives, libraries, and museums in Sweden and the need for common best practices and standards. A pilot study examined current digital preservation practices and identified a need for a common solution to manage all processes, given the large volumes of digital cultural heritage and lack of efficient long-term preservation currently.
Digisam is a part of Sweden's national strategy for digitization, digital access, and digital preservation of cultural heritage established in 2011. Its main tasks are to coordinate digital information management across collections, develop proposals for long-term digital preservation, and define roles and responsibilities for aggregating, accessing, and preserving digital cultural heritage. Digisam works with 24 central agencies and institutions to help them develop digitization plans and increase the amount of digitized material available within their existing budgets, with the overall goals of creating scalable solutions, building infrastructure, and empowering users.

This document summarizes the Dramawebben project, which created a corpus of Swedish drama texts annotated using TEI guidelines. It discusses the goals of engaging the humanities community and students in TEI encoding. Examples are provided of semantic annotations added, such as occupations and weaving, and automatic visualizations created, including character networks. Training materials and evaluation resources created through the project are also mentioned.
The document summarizes Sweden's national strategy for digitization of cultural heritage established in 2011. The strategy aims to coordinate efforts across 24 agencies and institutions to select, digitize, preserve and provide access to cultural heritage collections. It also establishes Digisam to coordinate this work and develop recommendations for aggregation, access, preservation and cost-effective solutions. Digisam will work with other organizations to develop semantic interoperability and infrastructure to make heritage collections more discoverable, linked and available for public use and research.

Crossing the line ceremonies have long been associated with sea travel. The ceremony is performed on board ships to mark the occasion when passengers or crew are crossing the equator for the first time in their experience. Members of a ship's company are called upon to dress up and take the roles of particular traditional characters to conduct the ceremony such as King Neptune, his wife Queen Amphitrite, a barber, a surgeon, bears, guards and sea nymphs. After parading around the ship a court is held on a platform near to a a large canvas bath filled with water. King Neptune summons the new travellers and after they pass through the hands of the surgeon and the barber they are tipped backwards into the bath. Those initiated during these ceremonies are issued with a certificate which exempts them from a repeat of the treatment on any further voyages.
