Crowdsourcing as productive engagement with cultural heritageMia
My keynote for the iSay conference "The Shape of Things"
http://isayevents.wordpress.com/shapeofthings/program/
My notes from the conference are at http://openobjects.blogspot.co.uk/2013/02/notes-from-shape-of-things-new-and.html
This document discusses the challenges of discovering collections that are "off the map" or invisible in a library's search systems. It notes issues like poor relevancy ranking, content from vendors overwhelming local collections, and specialized searchers preferring the old catalog over new discovery tools. Solutions proposed include better integrating owned, licensed and open resources; exposing local digital collections; and aggregating and providing access to local newspaper and other content. The role of libraries in managing and providing access to collections both physical and digital is also touched upon.
This document discusses how museums can engage the public through participatory culture by opening up their collections, enabling user contributions and remixes, and providing easy ways for the public to get involved. It provides examples of projects that have successfully employed participatory approaches through technologies like crowdsourcing, social media platforms, and open web tools. A list of relevant websites is included that allow museums to share collections online, collaborate with users, and begin participation efforts.
This document discusses the evolution of information literacy beyond the concept of Library 2.0. It argues that Library 2.0 was an overhyped idea that confused trends in web tools with the core concept. While social media tools saw early adoption among students, academics and researchers were slower to engage. The document notes that information literacy is now focused on skills like evaluating large amounts of information from search results and mobile access is increasingly important. It suggests information literacy must adapt to these changes by guiding students on skills like reflection and contemplation to process online information and that libraries are well positioned to help with this evolution.

Campbell at the National Library Australialittlehigh
Web 2.0 and the NLA (Debbie Campbell, Director, Collaborative Services, NLA)
This presentation provides an overview of the impact of Web 2.0 on the National Library of Australia's discovery services. The National Library has recognised that changes in service delivery are required for library services to be available in personal online environments. Consequently, in its Strategic Directions' statement 2006-2008, the National Library included an objective "to ensure [its] relevance in a rapidly changing world, participate in new online communities and enhance [its] visibility". One of the activities embarked on to achieve this objective was the provision of innovative online ‘spaces’ for Library patrons to interact with us and among themselves, and how this has been achieved will be discussed in relation to the National Library's premier discovery services, Libraries Australia, Picture Australia and Music Australia.

#arthistory: Mining Social Media to Historicize the ContemporarySpencer Keralis
Slides from my talk for the #arlis2015 panel "Creating New Worlds: The Digital Humanities and the Future of Art Research Methodologies" sched.co/27gu
Abstract:
The ubiquity of image- and video- based social media platforms like InstaGram, Tumblr, and Vine give art history students an opportunity to engage dynamically with contemporary imagery in a live setting. This paper will describe how engaging critically with images in social media can provide valuable insights into audience response to contemporary and historical art, along with an ever-changing catalog of the contemporary gaze; as well as offering students exposure to concepts of metadata, text mining, information literacy, data visualization, and copyright and fair use.

The document advocates for collaboration between institutions at regional, national, and global scales to build macrosolutions through shared resources and federating interests. However, it acknowledges that high levels of trust and risk tolerance are required for collaboration at macro scales where institutions become dependent on one another.
This document summarizes Rachel Frick's presentation on moving towards a cloud library. It discusses how libraries have historically collaborated at an institutional scale but are now aiming to collaborate at larger group and web scales through initiatives like shared digital repositories and standards. Frick argues that true collaboration requires developing regional and national coalitions that federate shared resources, creating interdependence between institutions. Examples mentioned include collaborative projects involving open-source software and subject-based data aggregations.
The document summarizes an incubator program that provides planning and start-up grants to support projects applying linked open data in libraries, archives, and museums. Planning grants of $1500 support developing project plans, while start-up grants between $2500-7500 are for building proof-of-concept projects. The timeline outlines opening for project comments in March-May, a call for proposals in June, funding projects in late fall, and demonstrating live projects in early 2013.

This document discusses macro solutions for collaborative collection development. It describes macro solutions as developing strong coalitions among diverse institutions within a national framework to share resources like collections, technology, and expertise. Examples provided include the Research Collection Partnership (ReCAP) and HathiTrust. The document also discusses managing print collections in a mass-digitized environment and the potential for libraries to externalize traditional functions through collaboration.

Bram Verhoef, Head of Machine Learning at Axelera AI, presents the “How Axelera AI Uses Digital Compute-in-memory to Deliver Fast and Energy-efficient Computer Vision” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
As artificial intelligence inference transitions from cloud environments to edge locations, computer vision applications achieve heightened responsiveness, reliability and privacy. This migration, however, introduces the challenge of operating within the stringent confines of resource constraints typical at the edge, including small form factors, low energy budgets and diminished memory and computational capacities. Axelera AI addresses these challenges through an innovative approach of performing digital computations within memory itself. This technique facilitates the realization of high-performance, energy-efficient and cost-effective computer vision capabilities at the thin and thick edge, extending the frontier of what is achievable with current technologies.
In this presentation, Verhoef unveils his company’s pioneering chip technology and demonstrates its capacity to deliver exceptional frames-per-second performance across a range of standard computer vision networks typical of applications in security, surveillance and the industrial sector. This shows that advanced computer vision can be accessible and efficient, even at the very edge of our technological ecosystem.

How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?
[OReilly Superstream] Occupy the Space: A grassroots guide to engineering (an...Jason Yip
The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.

For most organizations - the idea of declaring CC0 in relation to their collections’ metadata is the recommend way to go - especially if you want to exposed data as LINKedData.\nCC0 allows for the widest use of the information about our cultural heritage collections, to the broadest audience. \n
In the past, libraries, archives and museums were a destination - a private place of contemplation , where we came to learn for the information held in the the collections. \n\n\n
Now these spaces are wired - bringing more resources into the library - creating a very rich research environment for our users.\nBut the network is changing how we learn - where we learn. \n
\nwe need to go where our users are - \n Bringing the library to the learning environment no matter where it is. \n
its just not good enough to have information about our collections on the web\n
but to allow the data about our collections be portable.\nTo be re-used and re-imagined. \n
To inform complimentary resources - \nthis article was writing in wiki pedia by the data from Chronicling America\n
using our data to inform new services - not matter what they may be....or who creates them.\n
\n
