This document summarizes a presentation about sharing cultural heritage data using linked open data. It discusses initiatives by the Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision to digitize and share cultural heritage resources openly online to promote reuse. This includes the Images for the Future digitization project and advocacy work through Open Cultural Data. It also describes the Agora project linking museum objects to historical events. Benefits mentioned are increased participation, visibility, and opportunities for third-party applications. Examples highlighted are datasets shared via Europeana and new metrics needed to measure outcomes of open sharing.
Developing a national digital library stapel - meijers 20160302Enno Meijers
In 2015, the Koninklijke Bibliotheek (KB) became legally responsible for the digital infrastructure of the Dutch public libraries.
The KB wants to offer a platform where people and information come together. Their most important task for the years to come is the development of a national digital library - together with their partners in the network.
In this session, representatives from the KB will present their approach towards the Dutch digital library infrastructure. They will address some issues and welcome input from colleague librarians that are facing the same challenges.

Using Web Archives for Studying Cultural Heritage Collaborative PlatformsMarta Severo
In the last few years, cultural institutions have launched several experiments in order to transform their registers into transparent, open and participative documents available on the web. All these platforms introduce new ways of collaborative management of cultural heritage through the creation of participative pages corresponding to the inventory records directly on Wikipedia or on ad hoc platforms. This communication aims at studying these new forms of collaborative management of cultural heritage based on the use of wiki platforms. Past studies on this topic are organized mainly around two poles: analyses of computer and technical solutions, on the one hand, and researches on changes in the relationship between institutions and publics, on the other hand. Differently, this study is meant to focus on cultural heritage and notably on the collaborative digital writing around heritage objects that take shape on the web. Our ideal goal would be to study, through a historical perspective, how cultural heritage objects included in these inventories have evolved in the last few years as an effect of their opening on the web through wiki platforms. The objects will not be considered in relation to the inventory record, but as digital objects resulting from the editorialization processes involving heritage professionals, but also other users of the web.
This presentation was used in the Open Access Week 2013. I organised a succesfull afternoon symposium at the TU DElft Library. My presentation was in overall introduction, so and others could go more into depth.

Calle Violeta, 1 Calviá Beach - 07181 Mallorca, Spain
Cultural heritage embraces resources inherited from the past and offers a great variety of opportunities to the present: monuments, sites and traditions, but also visual arts, cinema, TV and radio archives.
In this framework, the Media of the Euro-Mediterranean region – both traditional and new ones – have to play their role, particularly given the challenges that such issue implies in terms of content production, audiovisual documents preservation and impact of the digital transition as a tool for the safeguard and enhancement of our common heritage.
New approaches towards accessing digital audiovisual heritage What will EUscr...Johan Oomen
During the past decade, a massive body of European audiovisual heritage has become accessible online: on video sharing sites and websites of archives, or through initiatives such as EUscreen.eu and Europeana.eu. Once online, audiovisual heritage circulates in diverse ways: users watch, share, like, or dislike it; they comment, appropriate, and download videos for remix and recirculation. It thus becomes part of the popular consumption of history, potentially creating new interpretations of heritage materials, challenging authorised perspectives.
Challenges to audiovisual heritage online
Heritage institutions perceive the consequences of the recent technological transformations of the sector as a major challenge and opportunity. Nevertheless, urgent questions regarding the circulation of audiovisual heritage online remain unanswered:
How do strategies of curation shape the appropriation of digitized heritage?
How does digitisation and online circulation of audiovisual heritage affect the mission, role, and structure heritage institutions, as well as their relationships with media producers and publics?
How can audiovisual archives better foster the re-use of Europe’s audiovisual heritage?
(How) do digital curation and other appropriations of audiovisual heritage create new perspectives on European history and identity do ?
How does online circulation of audiovisual heritage alter the power relationships between amateur and professional historians in a public history environment, potentially blurring the boundaries between authorised and popular visions of European history?
What new tools and methods do we need to analyse the circulation of audiovisual heritage online, and how have traditional methods to be adapted for this aim?
To discuss these challenges, Utrecht University's Centre of Television in Transition in collaboration with The Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision and CLARIAH will organize a one day symposium on May 16th, 2018.
Through a new Audiovisual Think Tank, visionary experts in the AV cultural heritage sector are working together to map out our shared strategic priorities and put into place a research and action agenda to shape the coming decade. The AV Think Tank looks to represent major AV archives and digital cultural heritage professionals from across the globe and closely connects these key players to work collectively at the forefront of the sector in consultation with the wider community. Initiated and actively supported by Sound and Vision, the AV Think Tank aims to lay the groundwork for an AV archiving sector that enables more long-term use of, learning with, and education through AV materials.
DIVE+: Explorative Search for Digital HumanitiesJohan Oomen
DIVE+ is an event-centric linked data digital collection browser aimed to provide an integrated and interactive access to multimedia objects from various heterogeneous online collections. It enriches the structured metadata of online collections with linked open data vocabularies with focus on events, people, locations and concepts that are depicted or associated with particular collection objects. DIVE+ is result of a true inter-disciplinary collaboration between computer scientists, humanities scholars, cultural heritage professionals and interaction designers. The tool allows humanities scholars to explore unexpected relations between entities and media objects and to construct and share navigation paths to develop research narratives.
Preserving Interactive Media - SXSW 2017Johan Oomen
http://schedule.sxsw.com/2017/events/PP96792
Interactive documentaries are at the vanguard of current media technologies. Taking into account every framework imaginable, its makers challenge some of our assumptions about how these technologies can or cannot support bringing a non-fiction storyline to a audience. In over a decade of IDFA DocLab’s existence, web technologies have changed dramatically and many producers experience how complicated it can be to keep their creations accessible and ‘experienceable’.
In this panel, chair Johan Oomen from Sound and Vision, will outline the challenges to creating dynamic web archives. We will then take a deeper look at particular cases. NFB collaborated with Google on the re-making of Bear 71 - porting it from a Flash-based to a WebVR online experience. Megan Lindsay will present this collaboration on re-representing a modern classic. After the presentations, there will be room for questions.

The general aim of LinkedCulture is to describe how the information need of the Tussen Kunst & Kitsch (Antiques Roadshow) viewers can be satisfied from both their couch and on-the-go, supporting both passive and more active needs. Linking to external information and content, such as Europeana, museum collections but also auction information has been incorporated in these scenarios
Towards more smart, connected and open audiovisual archivesJohan Oomen
As a result of digitisation of analogue holdings and working processes, more and more material from audiovisual archies is being made available online. This marks a transformative shift, as archives and users are now sharing the same information space. Once digital and part of an open network, objects from audiovisual archives can be shared, recommended, remixed, embedded, cited, referenced to and so on. It is a far cry from several years ago, when users were obliged to visit brick and mortar institutions to access collections. This shift towards digital enables archives to fulfil their pubic missions better; crossing geographical boundaries, using new channels for content distribution, engage with user groups and use new technologies to make work processes more efficient and allow for new access points to collections. It also introduces fundamental challenges, forcing audiovisual archives to [1] rethink their role and function in the value chain of media production and modern society at large, [2] assess which activities and competences are vital to succeed in a digital context.
We envision the future audiovisual archives to be smart, connected and open; using smart technologies to optimise workflows for annotation and content distribution. Collaborating with third parties to co-design and co-develop new technologies in order to manifest themselves as frontrunners rather than followers. Being connected to other sources of information (other collections, contextual sources), to a variety of often niche user communities, researchers and the creative industries. To embrace the use of standards defined by external instances rather than by the cultural heritage communities themselves. Fully embrace ‘open’ as the default to have maximum impact in society: applying open licences for content delivery, using open source software and open standards wherever possible. Promote open access to publications and so on.
This keynote examines how the public mission of archives (i.e. supporting a myriad of users to utilize collections to learn, experience and create) can be achieved in a digital context. It addresses the challenges related to the role and function of institutions and provides practical insights in how archives can establish a culture of innovation to manage challenges they face today. It addresses some of the major questions audiovisual archives are faced with today.
Hoe breng je aan elkaar gerelateerde openbare gegevens ook echt met elkaar in verbinding? Die vraag brengt een grote groep mensen vanuit het bedrijfsleven, kennisinstituten en de overheid bijeen in de pilot Linked open data. Nadat in 2012/2013 de mogelijkheden voor het prepareren van data, het daadwerkelijke linken van data en het toepassen van linked data zijn onderzocht, is in november 2013 een vervolg van start gegaan: het Platform implementatie Linked Open Data (PiLOD). Focus van het PiLOD ligt op het toepassen en werken met Linked Open Data.
Op weg naar een Nederlandse Erfgoedthesaurus met Linked Open DataJohan Oomen
Steeds meer collectiebeheerders zijn bezig om de mogelijkheden voor eindgebruikers van Linked Open Data te onderzoeken en in praktijk te brengen. Door het toevoegen van externe informatie aan de eigen collectie (contextualisering) en het verbinden van de eigen collectie aan externe informatiebronnen wordt de collectie onderdeel van een groter geheel en ontstaat er een dynamische relatie van de inhoud van de eigen collectie met de buitenwereld. De thesauri van erfgoedinstellingen zijn bij uitstek geschikt om externe bronnen te verbinden. RCE, Nederlands Instituut voor Beeld en Geluid en Naturalis sloten een convenant om een erfgoedthesaurus voor het Nederlandse erfgoeddomein te ontwikkelen. Hiermee leggen zij de basis van een netwerk van thesauri, zodat instellingen en externe kennisnetwerken rijke verbindingen kunnen realiseren. Als onderdeel van dit proces ontwikkelen zij een gemeenschappelijke set tools die vrijelijk aan de Nederlandse erfgoedsector ter beschikking zullen worden gesteld. De presentatie toont de meerwaarde van Linked Open Data voor de erfgoedsector en plaatst de Nederlandse Erfgoedthesaurus in de context van de infrastructuur voor het erfgoeddomein. Verder zal de “Linked Open Data demonstrator” worden gepresenteerd, zoals deze door Beeld en Geluid en de RCE is gerealiseerd.

Contribution as part of the SXSW 2014 panel "100 Years of Oversharing: Tools for Time Travel" - http://schedule.sxsw.com/2014/events/event_IAP21645 @johanoomen
A typed journal from WWI passed on through generations fuels a young man's dreams of time travel and allows us to explore the power of personal stories and photos. Together with archival collections, these items take us through space and time, and the magical ability of cultural memory institutions to help individuals bring these incredibly compelling dreams to life. The World Wide Web provides the cultural, technological, and legal frameworks to open the doors to innovation and imagination, and also enables libraries, archives and museums the world over to play a critical role. We explore some of the diverse efforts to bring stories and memory to life in new ways, while also fostering open data and preservation, and the pros and cons at the intersection of public domain and private enterprise.
Europeana Awareness year 2 review slides for Workpackage 2 'End-user engagement'Johan Oomen
General information on the project: http://pro.europeana.eu/web/europeana-awareness
Scope of this presentation: following the success of the first year, WP2 continued to deliver results in this reporting period. Overall progress for this year has been good, with no major deviations from the work plan. The content gathering campaigns for Europeana 1914-1918 were successful, both in terms of public engagement and content added as well as audience reach.
This year also saw the launch of the Europeana 1989 campaign, aiming to create a digital archive of memorabilia connected to the fall of the Iron Curtain. Besides the objects that were gathered, the campaign provided important insights into the challenges of managing a campaign which deals with more recent events. These lessons have been documented and will be taken on board in future campaigns.
The collaboration with the Wikipedia community was launched in January and continued throughout the year. A great variety of events were organized as part of the project, including an ambitious international photo competition “Wiki Loves Public Monuments.” As one of the results, a strategic plan for future collaboration between the two communities (Europeana Network and the Wikipedia community) was written in December.
Europeana Sounds kick-off - Workpackage 2 Enrichment and ParticipationJohan Oomen
The objective of this workpackage is to support discovery and use by improving metadata through innovative methods including semantic enrichment and crowdsourcing. It coordinates the design and implementation on mechanisms to improve the quality of existing metadata and contextual information. This will support enhanced exploration, deepen understanding of the collections, and will increase end-user engagement. Significantly increase quality of existing and new Europeana metadata for audio and audio-related items though: (a) active participation with existing audiences; (b) machine-driven tools.
Specific goals
• Offer tools for metadata tagging and contextualisation to the wider community. This will (1) increase quality and user satisfaction in terms of content discovery; (2) promote increased engagement between institutions and their audiences.
• Apply semantic web technologies to enable enrichment of the Europeana Sounds collections. This will increase quality of the metadata and user satisfaction in terms of content discovery.
• Collaborate with Wikimedia chapters in Europe to add contextual knowledge on the Europeana Sounds collection. Six edit-a-thons (campaigns that aim to create wiki pages on focussed areas) will be organised in year two and three of the project. This will (1) add a layer of in-depth knowledge to the collections presented online;
(2) strengthen links between Europeana, the Europeana Network and the international Wikipedia community.
• Align music scores to text, to forge a dynamic connection between currently separated collections. By allowing for new types of exploration, the value for end-users of both the multimedia and digitised paper-based resources will be increased.
• Explore possibilities of music information retrieval to support innovative, language independent exploration of audio collections.
• Put in place policies and (in connection with WP5) infrastructural preconditions allowing enrichments to be re-ingested in the information systems of the contributing archives, wherever relevant.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

49. Conclusions
• Time to embrace openness: innovation, impact, reuse
• New success metrics needed:
• Income: measured in money (low/high res)
• Public Outreach: to measure the number of (online) visitors
• Reuse: to measure the use of data and content by heritage
institutions themselves and by others
• Public Participation: to measure the added metadata and
content
• Collaboration (Open Culture Data) helps to built momentum and
raise awareness
• Linked Open Data gaining momentum in the CH domain
