Most information professionals already know: separation of content and presentation helps to manage and deliver complex information. This can only be done by using enriched structured content. Some call this intelligent content.
But why exactly is metadata per document (some call it "tagging") not enough?
Here is a very brief slide-deck, which explains the difference between the traditional approach and the graph-based approach to develop not only a metadata layer seperated from the content layer, but also a knowledge layer on top of it.

So that the past has a future - the German Foundation for Monument Protection...heritageorganisations.eu
Within just a few years the German Foundation for Monument Protection has grown into the largest private historical-preservation initiative in Germany. The German Foundation for Monument Protection has thus set itself two goals: to preserve endangered cultural monuments and promote all aspects of monument protection. We hope to animate as many citizens as possible to become involved in this task. Since its foundation in 1985 the German Foundation for Monument Protection has helped to preserve over 3,000 monuments nationwide, investing 390 million Euros.
Contributions have been raised from more than 180,000 private sponsors and companies, fine allocations and proceeds from the GlücksSpirale lottery. Our patron is the Federal President, Horst Köhler.The Foundation becomes active where state funds are either not available or are proving insufficient. In times when public budgets continue to shrink, this goal is more than ever a challenge for all. The Foundation’s funds benefit an array of historical monuments: burgher houses, village, town and cloister churches, industrial monuments, palaces, castles and manor houses, parks, town walls and archaeological excavations.
To encourage young people to become more involved with our cultural heritage is of particular concern to the Foundation. In 2002 for example we initiated the schools project “denkmal aktiv * Kulturerbe macht Schule” (Cultural Heritage in Young Hands). Over a thousand pupils belong to the nationwide network. During the school year they work on and study cultural monuments on site, taking part in restoring and documenting the monument, and so getting to know monument protection first hand. The “Jugendbauhütte” projects (Youth Masonry Guilds) running in nine towns are also proving to be a successful model. Over the course of a year of voluntary civic service young adults gain insight into old
crafts and historical buildings. Practical activities introduce the participants to the basic know-how and skill demanded by protecting historical monuments and offers a platform for their future vocational
orientation.
Another aspect of our mission is of no less importance: to raise public awareness for monument protection and the tasks this entails. In this vein the Foundation coordinates the nationwide European Heritage Day, held annually in September. This contribution to the European Heritage Days has meanwhile advanced to one the largest cultural events in Germany, highlighting 7,000 monument sites open to the public and attracting over four million.

Ship technology companies expect unmanned ships to set sail in less than 10 years from now. On a smaller scale, research is done on drone vessels for various use. What can we expect from this trend? When will we see the first unmanned ship enter the port? What does it mean for the international laws of the seas and for nautical services companies in port, such as for pilots, tugs and VTS services? Our speakers will explore the vice and virtues of unmanned vessels
“Collected with Love and Care” – Highlights from the Neutelings Collection of...Marjan Debaene
The Neutelings Collection at the Bonnefantenmuseum contains medieval sculptures and objects of extraordinary quality and diversity, collected with love and care. It includes small altarpieces, diptychs, and sculptures from France, the Low Countries, and elsewhere between the 13th-16th centuries, the finest being a late 13th century diptych from Paris and a small Last Judgement altarpiece from 1300s Paris. Research on the collection helps scholars better understand medieval art.
The hypodermic needle theory assumed that media had a direct and powerful effect on audiences by "injecting" them with particular messages and ideas. However, Katz and Lazarsfeld found that people's social networks and interpersonal relationships influenced how they interpreted media messages. Their research helped develop uses and gratifications theory, which examines how people use media to fulfill various needs and what gratifications they seek from different types of media.

Hầu hết các chính trị gia và sĩ quan quân đội cấp cao đều công nhận rằng chúng to không đơn độc trong vũ trụ. Và trong thực tế, từ xưa đến nay, người Trái đất đã gặp gỡ và giao lưu với người ngoài hành tinh trong nhiều tình huống khác nhau. Một kết quả của những giao lưu đó là sự phát triển công nghệ đột phá. Vậy, chúng ta phải đặt câu hỏi: Nếu chúng ta muốn đưa nước Việt Nam vào một kỷ nguyên thịnh vượng, hòa bình, và siêu hiện đại, việc thiết lập quan hệ ngoại giao với người ngoài hành tinh có khả thi?
The document outlines a project that aims to encourage the use of new technologies in cultural heritage by promoting EU-funded technological solutions to stakeholders. It faces challenges of access to ICT, communication between cultural and technology groups, and addressing user needs. The project will raise awareness of technologies, promote solutions to stakeholders through events, validate technologies, and create a sustainable community around cultural heritage and technology. It is supported by an expert group and brings together technology providers, cultural institutions, and end users in its consortium.
Merete Sanderhoff presents on an experimental Danish project to share open content from museums using a mobile platform. The pilot project uses Twitter APIs and a simple interface/backend to allow museum visitors to access information on artworks through QR codes or URLs on their phones. Comments and related multimedia can then be viewed and shared. Over 150 artworks from several Danish museums have been made openly licensed so far. The goals are to connect collections, encourage user participation and dialogue, and build a sustainable shared platform for mobile museum interpretation. Next steps include expanding open licenses and launching a full report on the pilot by April 2013.
Axiell Customer Projects From Around The World: What Our Most Successful Cust...Axiell ALM
This document discusses ways that museums can raise the profile of their collections through digital initiatives. It provides examples of projects from museums around the world that are using Axiell's collection management software to digitize collections, improve online access and engagement, and better connect their collections for research and educational purposes. Specific initiatives highlighted include the Qatar Museums' centralized management of the country's cultural assets, a joint Danish museum database project, and the Rijksmuseum's open access policies and linked data integration. The document also discusses how museums can use digital tools to crowdsource transcription and improve online exhibits, outreach, and education.
Integrating technology into an archaeological museum exhibitionMerel van der Vaart
This document summarizes lessons learned from the Keys 2 Rome exhibition that integrated technology into an archaeological museum setting across multiple sites. It discusses how the exhibition told stories through augmented objects and virtual environments. It also addresses integrating technology into the design process and visitor experience by keeping visitors engaged. Some lessons included starting simply, thorough planning, clear communication, accessibility, and maintenance. The overarching message is that technology needs to be considered throughout development and be part of the overall exhibition plan.
The eCult Observatory provides resources for cultural heritage institutions to strategically implement technologies. It has compiled content from over 400 stakeholders over two years. The Observatory brings together technology providers and museums through events and coaching from ambassadors with relevant expertise. It aims to support the take-up of technologies through an online guide of success stories and best practices. The document outlines that a technology strategy is needed to define the purpose and human resources required to identify, select, implement, and maintain suitable technologies that align with an institution's mission and vision. It encourages involvement in the eCult community and resources.
The document discusses making cultural heritage widely available and reusable online. It argues that cultural institutions should digitize their collections and make them openly accessible on the internet so that anyone, anywhere can enjoy and learn from the collections. Doing so allows the collections to have much greater reach and impact than being limited to physical museum spaces. The document provides examples of projects from the National Gallery of Denmark that have brought artworks to new audiences and contexts through open digitization and online platforms like Wikipedia. It advocates for cultural institutions to measure their impact and success in terms of online engagement and use, not just physical visits.
The Recurated Museum: II. Museums, Identity, & CommunityChristopher Morse
The document discusses how museums are shifting from a focus on collections to prioritizing visitor experiences and community engagement. New technologies like augmented and virtual reality, motion capture, and the internet of things are being used to create more interactive and personalized experiences. Museums are also striving to better represent and connect with diverse communities through partnerships, educational programs, and making their collections and processes more transparent. The future of museums involves building ecosystems and networks to share cultural heritage digitally and bring communities together both online and offline.

It describes the four steps taken to establish the lab: 1) Testing installations from partner projects, 2) Moving experiments out of the lab and testing with visitors, 3) Having developers work onsite to prototype new projects using museum collections, and 4) Partnering with new organizations to prototype technologies for exhibitions. It also discusses challenges faced in developing the lab and results achieved in better understanding relationships between technology, exhibitions, and museum objects through ongoing experimentation.

Good morning and welcome back to Energy Source, coming to you from New York, where the city swelters in its first heatwave of the season.
Nearly 80 million people were under alerts in the US north-east and midwest yesterday as temperatures in some municipalities reached record highs in a test to the country’s rickety power grid.
In other news, the Financial Times has a new Big Read this morning on Russia’s grip on nuclear power. Despite sanctions on its economy, the Kremlin continues to be an unrivalled exporter of nuclear power plants, building more than half of all reactors under construction globally. Read how Moscow is using these projects to wield global influence.
Today’s Energy Source dives into the latest Statistical Review of World Energy, the industry’s annual stocktake of global energy consumption. The report was published for more than 70 years by BP before it was passed over to the Energy Institute last year. The oil major remains a contributor.
Data Drill looks at a new analysis from the World Bank showing gas flaring is at a four-year high.

New report offers sobering view of the energy transition
Every year the Statistical Review of World Energy offers a behemoth of data on the state of the global energy market. This year’s findings highlight the world’s insatiable demand for energy and the need to speed up the pace of decarbonisation.
Here are our four main takeaways from this year’s report:
Fossil fuel consumption — and emissions — are at record highs
Countries burnt record amounts of oil and coal last year, sending global fossil fuel consumption and emissions to all-time highs, the Energy Institute reported. Oil demand grew 2.6 per cent, surpassing 100mn barrels per day for the first time.
Meanwhile, the share of fossil fuels in the energy mix declined slightly by half a percentage point, but still made up more than 81 per cent of consumption.
