PACKED advocates for open data in the cultural heritage sector. They discuss infrastructure for publishing open data, including using persistent URI's and platforms like Wikidata. PACKED provides training on open data topics and helps cultural institutions publish collections. Their goal is to make more data available and reusable while addressing challenges like inconsistent data formats across institutions. The Flemish Art Collection discusses their work to aggregate collection data from different museums into a central Datahub and publish it through their Arthub portal. They aim to improve data quality and automate sharing to open up more collections.
In 2018 the ‘Strategy for culture in the digital age’ was published by the Flemish minister of culture. The culture sector is exploring open data to improve access of their collections for diverse groups of users. PACKED has researched, developed and published data, tools and strategies using open source and open data as a lever for building a sustainable digital memory. Aside from sharing our projects, results and peeking at the new challenges that lie ahead, we provide a platform for two of our partners to showcase projects which were set up in collaboration with PACKED:
-The King Baudouin Foundation collaborated with PACKED in order to open up their collections on Wikimedia plaftorms
-The Flemish Art Collection presents the Datahub and Arthub projects, which gives the public access to the visual arts in Flanders and facilitates (re-)use
- PACKED advocates for open data in the cultural heritage sector through various projects and training. They developed CultURIze, a tool to help small museums assign persistent URIs to collection items.
- The King Baudouin Foundation shares collection data on Wikimedia platforms like Wikidata to make it more accessible. Challenges include normalizing data from different sources and systems.
- The Flemish Art Collection's Arthub and Datahub projects aim to publish collection data as open data through APIs and formats. An ETL pipeline extracts, transforms and loads data from various museum databases into a central repository for reuse.
The document describes three recent initiatives that present linked (open) data:
1. Alexander Derveaux (FOMU) presents the creation of a linked open data authority for photographic paper using Wikibase open source software.
2. Bart Magnus (meemoo) presents the Publiekdomeintool and using linked open data to determine which heritage collections can be easily published online.
3. Olivier Van D'huynslager (Design Museum Gent) presents the implementation of OSLO + LDES in the Collection of the Gentenaar to unlock cultural data.
Presentation during the BeMuseum conference of 2019 about digital strategy and how the digital and digital transformation now permeates 'all' aspects of work at heritage institutions. How can we adapt to this change?

This document discusses the use of persistent identifiers (PIDs) to improve access to museum collection data for digital humanities research. It notes that researchers need trustworthy, machine-readable data from reliable sources. However, museums struggle to keep their online data up-to-date, complete, and published in open formats. Assigning PIDs to artworks, data, representations and related entities allows museums to act as publishers of their collection information. This makes the data more findable, linkable, and reusable over time. The project aims to assign PIDs to the works and entities in 10 museum datasets to demonstrate improved data retrieval and enrichment for researchers.
The document discusses the collection and storage of digital cartographic data by libraries in Utrecht. It covers: (1) the various forms digital cartographic data can take, such as maps from the internet, digitized maps, and cartographic databases; (2) how Utrecht archives and makes accessible this growing virtual collection, through centralized storage and remote access including in the map library; and (3) challenges around accessibility due to the large volume of data and legal implications, and potential future solutions through increased cooperation and cataloguing at a national or international level.

We make an argument for attracting more people with an IT background in the cultural sector, better open infrastructures and tools that make linked open data publishing and reuse possible: resolvers, datahubs, api tools - tools for publication of data and images: specific tools for mix’n match, tools which can deal with what heritage professionals have already produced (excel files). Lastly we encourage the public to solicit the heritage sector and create demand for LOD services ‘as if’ you already live in a society where citizens can take access to digital cultural resources for granted and as if you have no idea about the contradictions that cause institutions to delay opening up their collections.

This document discusses challenges and opportunities for linked open data in cultural heritage institutions. It summarizes that while many institutions have digitized collections and data, their "digital mindset" and outdated systems have limited data sharing and reuse. The document outlines recent and ongoing projects by PACKED to address this, such as developing tools to publish structured data on Wikimedia platforms, and a "datahub" and "resolver tool" to facilitate internal data management and linking to external references. Next steps include expanding these projects and conducting a survey to understand demand for cultural heritage data. The overall aim is to make institutions' data and collections more accessible and reusable on the web.

In order for museums to truly reap the benefits of publishing their collections online in a sustainable way, PACKED vzw presents the results of its Linked open data project as a best practice guide for the Flemish heritage sector.
Europeana Creative - What is this Europeana thing?Europeana
Europeana is a website and API that provides access to over 26 million digital objects from museums, libraries, archives and collections across Europe. It is operated by the Europeana Foundation along with contributions from cultural heritage organizations. The documents discusses Europeana projects like Europeana Creative that enable reuse of content. It aims to aggregate cultural works, facilitate the cultural heritage sector, and distribute content to users. Initiatives to better engage users include virtual exhibitions, professional sites, and crowdsourcing campaigns. The presentation encourages partnerships and an open lab network to further these engagement goals.
Museums in Flanders are contributing their artwork data to Wikidata to make it available to a broader audience. The data, including persistent identifiers and links to external authorities, was uploaded under a CC0 license. This provides benefits like low costs, increased reach through Wikipedia, and placing the works in a wider context. Museums can now get back an RDF export of the data and see their works integrated in the linked open data cloud. Next steps include adding more detail to artist biographies and correcting any errors or duplicates in the data.

Open Cultuur Data is a Dutch network that aims to make cultural data from institutions openly available and accessible in order to create new cultural applications. The network includes cultural professionals, developers, and open data experts. It works to collect and publish open cultural datasets from organizations like museums and archives. It also organizes events like hackathons to encourage developers to build apps using this open cultural data. The goal is to make culture more accessible to the public in new ways through open data and new applications.
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.

The document summarizes presentations from the OpenGLAM Working Group at Wikimania 2014 in London. It describes initiatives in several countries to open cultural data from galleries, libraries, archives, and museums (GLAMs) and promote best practices. The Netherlands program includes OpenGLAM masterclasses to train GLAMs on open data. Germany's program included a cultural data hackathon. Switzerland conducted an OpenGLAM benchmark survey of heritage institutions and a pilot project encouraging institutions to contribute to Wikipedia.
Hoe bepaal je welke delen van je collectie niet auteursrechtelijk beschermd zijn, en dus tot publiek domein behoren? Wat zijn mogelijke uitdagingen bij de bepaling van de publiekdomeinstatus? Wat kun je doen met collecties die zich in het publieke domein bevinden? Hoe kun je ze toegankelijk en herbruikbaar maken en wat levert dat op? Deze en nog veel meer vragen beantwoordden we tijdens deze sessie.
Presentatie van de namiddagsessie "Bevindingen uit het vooronderzoek naar een uitwisselplatform" tijdens meemoo's partnerevent op 30 november 2023.
Een professioneel uitwisselplatform zou het hergebruik van jouw archiefmateriaal extra kunnen stimuleren bij professionals uit de erfgoed-, media- en creatieve sector en de valorisatie ervan bevorderen over instellingen en sectoren heen. Je kwam er al even mee in aanraking door de bevraging aan contentpartners vorige zomer. Aangezien die bevraging maar een klein onderdeel was van een veel breder vooronderzoek, was het tijd om de belangrijkste resultaten en inzichten met jou te delen.
Presentatie van de namiddagsessie "Deep dive in hetarchief.be" tijdens meemoo's partnerevent op 30 november 2023.
Op zoek naar manieren om vlot audiovisueel archiefmateriaal te ontsluiten? Tijdens deze sessie doken we diep in hetarchief.be: o.a. publieke ontsluiting, de sleutelgebruikerrol en de bezoekertoolfunctionaliteit kwamen aan bod. Een contentpartner deelde bovendien de ervaringen en inzichten van de eigen organisatie over het gebruik van hetarchief.be.
Presentatie van de namiddagessie "GIVE or take: het nut van kwaliteitscontrole bij digitalisering" tijdens meemoo's partnerevent op 30 november 2023.
Een van de grootste uitdagingen in een digitaliseringsproject is het bepalen en controleren van de kwaliteit van je resultaten. Wanneer en hoe bouw je dit in? Doet de Metamorfoze-richtlijn misschien een belletje rinkelen? Hoorde je al over RIPT, QM-tool en ‘targets’? Tijdens deze sessie kwam je te weten wat deze richtlijnen, standaarden en tools voor jouw digitaliseringsproces kunnen betekenen! We deelden graag onze ervaring met kwaliteitscontrole in de GIVE-projecten én gaven plaats voor het uitwisselen van eigen ervaringen en ideeën.
Presentatie namiddagsessie "GIVE-metadata: over verrijking via artificiële intelligentie" tijdens meemoo's partnerevent op 30 november 2023.
Op 160.000 uur audio en video pasten we in het GIVE-metadataproject spraakherkenning en entiteitsherkenning toe. Op 120.000 uur video ook nog eens gezichtsherkenning. Goed voor een heleboel nieuwe metadata! In anderhalf uur ontdekte je hoe die metadataverrijking via AI juist verliep en welke resultaten dat opleverde.
Public Domain Day in Belgium celebrated works that entered the public domain in 2023. Several institutions showcased how they uploaded public domain collections in 2022 and 2023, including the Passchendaele Museum which shared experiences from an upload workshop and the Agentschap Onroerend Erfgoed which highlighted architectural drawings. Other showcases were from the KBR on their Public Domain Day uploads and Europeana's findings from five years of their Open GLAM survey on sharing cultural heritage collections. The event advocated for better sharing of cultural heritage in the public domain.

This report explores the significance of border towns and spaces for strengthening responses to young people on the move. In particular it explores the linkages of young people to local service centres with the aim of further developing service, protection, and support strategies for migrant children in border areas across the region. The report is based on a small-scale fieldwork study in the border towns of Chipata and Katete in Zambia conducted in July 2023. Border towns and spaces provide a rich source of information about issues related to the informal or irregular movement of young people across borders, including smuggling and trafficking. They can help build a picture of the nature and scope of the type of movement young migrants undertake and also the forms of protection available to them. Border towns and spaces also provide a lens through which we can better understand the vulnerabilities of young people on the move and, critically, the strategies they use to navigate challenges and access support.
The findings in this report highlight some of the key factors shaping the experiences and vulnerabilities of young people on the move – particularly their proximity to border spaces and how this affects the risks that they face. The report describes strategies that young people on the move employ to remain below the radar of visibility to state and non-state actors due to fear of arrest, detention, and deportation while also trying to keep themselves safe and access support in border towns. These strategies of (in)visibility provide a way to protect themselves yet at the same time also heighten some of the risks young people face as their vulnerabilities are not always recognised by those who could offer support.
In this report we show that the realities and challenges of life and migration in this region and in Zambia need to be better understood for support to be strengthened and tuned to meet the specific needs of young people on the move. This includes understanding the role of state and non-state stakeholders, the impact of laws and policies and, critically, the experiences of the young people themselves. We provide recommendations for immediate action, recommendations for programming to support young people on the move in the two towns that would reduce risk for young people in this area, and recommendations for longer term policy advocacy.

The Karnataka government, along with the central government’s Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY), offers various housing schemes to cater to the diverse needs of citizens across the state. This article provides a comprehensive overview of the major housing schemes available in the Karnataka housing board for both urban and rural areas in 2024.
Indira awas yojana housing scheme renamed as PMAYnarinav14
Indira Awas Yojana (IAY) played a significant role in addressing rural housing needs in India. It emerged as a comprehensive program for affordable housing solutions in rural areas, predating the government’s broader focus on mass housing initiatives.

1. Shifting minds in the
cultural sector
Towards open data in practice
Open Belgium 04.03.2019

@PACKEDvzw
2. • Non-profit
• 2006 - 2010: Platform for Archiving and Conservation of Art on Electronic and Digital Media
• 2011 - 2018: Centre of Expertise Digital Heritage
• from 2019: A department in VIAA - Flemish Institute for Audiovisual Archiving
• Flemish, Belgian and European projects
• Support for ICT-processes at heritage and arts organisations (o.a. creating, storage,
cataloguing, online access, exchange and reuse) and policy thereof
• Central concern: sustainability (digital heritage is vulnerable)

3. Programme ‘Shifting minds’ session
- PACKED:
- Open GLAM community: International and in Belgium
- PACKED: open data projects: persistent identification and publishing of data
- PACKED: advocacy en training
- Conclusions and wishlist
- Use cases from the cultural heritage sector:
- Wikimedia publication of King Baudouin Foundation collections - Olivier Van
D’huynslager
- Flemish Art Collection: Arthub/Datahub - Matthias Vandermaesen
6. Infrastructure for open data in the cultural sector
Data:
- Messy and not complete, but a lot of potential knowledge
- Captured on different carriers (systems, digital and analogue files)
- Often closed (and obsolete) software
- ‘4-star’ data is becoming reachable for the cultural heritage sector
- ‘5-star’ Linked Open Data: persistent URI’s solution?
Publishing:
- Where? Own platforms vs existing Open Data Repositories
7. Infrastructure: Persistent URI’s
- Nobody knows what PIDs are and why you should use it
- Not that obvious in the cultural heritage sector
- Not just a standard part of the used collection mgmt systems,
- Not just something that you ask your IT to configure (because there is no IT)
- PID-projects (2013-2016) - Resolver-tool v1
- Open Summer of code 2018 - redevelopment
8. What is cultURIze?
Culturize is a tool for museum administrators to share data about
their collection using persistent URI’s.
Who needs CultURIze?
Registrars, curators and managers of small or medium cultural heritage
collections.
https://github.com/PACKED-vzw/CultURIze
https://github.com/PACKED-vzw/CultURIze/wiki
- prototype developed during Open Summer of code 2018 in Belgium
- inspired by W3id on Github
9. How does it work?
CultURIze is four-step process to create a persistent URI for a collection
item on the web:
- Record persistent URI's and the corresponding webresources in a
spreadsheet
- Turn the spreadsheet into a server configuration file
- Upload the file to a code sharing platform
- Periodically update your webserver to activate the persistent
URI's.

10. 2019: Governance and contribution project
- Research on a sustainable governance model for the CultURIze
project.
- How to generate financial means and create a community of
developers around the CultURIze?
- Partners:
- Open Knowledge Belgium
- Flemish Art Collection
- Flemish Architecture Institute

27. Challenges for LOD in cultural sector
digital movement <> no digital mindset
reducing costs <> out-of-control IT-budgets
new ‘digital’ audiences <> losing ‘traditional’ audiences
showing off with fancy tools <> locked up in obsolete technology
engaging with the ‘crowd’ <> abandoned web portals
28. Wishlist
● More IT profiles in the cultural heritage sector and less dependence on the providers
● More freedom to play around and test things out
● Better open infrastructures and tools that make better internal workflows and LOD
possible:
○ Back office tools: Collection Management Systems, DAMs , Datahubs…
○ Publishing online tools: Resolvers, API’s...
○ Reusing: Wikimedia art viewers, apps...
○ etc...
● Vocal and demanding audience:
○ curating/enriching data
○ (examples of) reuse:
■ ie. unisex Hokusai kimono by Noir Noir
29. In 2019 PACKED wants to continue to push for open data in the heritage sector:
● Projects:
○ Projects which pool resources for infrastructure on a sector-wide scale:
■ Option 1: sharing ‘one big machine’
■ Option 2: ‘networked’ infrastructure - several machines talk to each other
○ Structured Data on Commons pilots
○ Public domain publication
○ Multilingual information museums of Bruges
○ ...
● More focus on training, institutions publish LOD (semi-)autonomously
Do you see yourself contributing to one of the projects or to the wishlist?

32. Infrastructure at the King Baudouin Foundation
- Messy and incomplete data
- Works in collection are dispersed over 80+ institutions (depot).
- Registered differently according to its location
- Huge gap! (7000 records of aprox. 26.000 pieces)
- Shared in different ways
- Analog x digital (closed x open(?))
- Webportals
- DAMS
- Arthub
- Overall → DISPERSED
33. Challenges (case: Collection Van Herck)
- Collect data from various
sources:
- Sculptures and drawings
- 4 institutions (3 dutch / 1 french)
- Normalize data so the metadata
becomes linkable:
- inventory numbers from various
locations:
- CVH 11A(1)
- Inv 30A
- IB00.106
34. Challenges (case: Collection Van Herck)
- Collect data from sources
- Normalize data so the metadata
becomes linkable:
- inventory numbers from various
locations:
- Different titles;
- Aaron
- Aäron
- Aaron
- Different thesauri
- …

- Want to commit but find it hard to let go <> volunteers
- Multilingual and connected to authorities and identifiers:
- AAT / RKD
- Access anywhere
- Ingest DAMS (translations titles)
39. - Open web portal for collections that don’t own one
40. - Wikidata Query Service as a tool to distribute on
other Wikimedia projects:
48. Leveraging museal data is challenging
● Getting registration data out of collection management systems
○ No API’s (manual exchange)
○ Proprietary vendor formats
○ Legacy systems
○ Different institutions, different contexts.
● Quality of the data
○ Inconsistent registration (decades of organic growth)
○ No normalisation (no or limited authorities: VIAF, AAT, ICONCLASS,...)
● Which data to use?
○ Context dependent: online browseable collections.
○ Currently: Basic registration (24 base fields)
○ SPECTRUM 5.0: 21 procedures (Acquisition, Loan in/out, Condition,...)
49. Goals
● Automate sharing museal data between applications
○ Less time between registration and publishing online
● Connect complementary collections and museums
○ Fashion, Industry, Art, Folklore,...
○ Location and time period
● Audit museal data
○ Quality assessment v. digital (re)usability
○ Enrich data with external authorities (linked data)
● Open up collections
○ Publish museal data under Creative Commons licenses.
52. Arthub Flanders
● Online catalogue of the Flemish museums of Fine Arts and Contemporary Arts.
● Currently disseminates collections of:
○ Groeningemuseum (Bruges)
○ Museum of Fine Arts Ghent
○ Royal Museum of Fine Arts Antwerp
● Usable discovery interface
○ Search should yield relevant search results
○ Fast delivery of search results
○ Presentation should be usable for humans
https://arthub.vlaamsekunstcollectie.be
57. The Datahub
● Aggregation
○ Central “hub” for collection records from different sources
● Persistent storage of a copy of the collection records
○ But NOT a collection management system.
● Publication of collection records via web services
○ Open protocols: HTTP REST API & OAI-PMH
○ Open formats: LIDO XML
60. ETL Pipelining
● Extract Transform Load
○ Fetch data from a source (database, flat file, API,...)
○ Transform the data (different format, different structure)
○ Load transformed data to a destination (database, flat file, API,...)
● A pipeline is actually an automated ETL process on a server
○ Reliable
○ Modifiable
○ …
● Mappings between CMS’es, The Datahub and Arthub Flanders
○ Based on context specific business rules
○ Only: Basic registration fields
○ Concerns: Security, Confidentiality, Privacy, Copyright.
http://librecat.org
61. Data Quality
● What does “Quality” mean?
○ Does the data yield relevant answers?
○ Can I import the data in my application?
○ Can I combine the data with other datasets?
○ Can I present the data with low effort?
○ ...
● Quality is context dependeable
○ Who uses the data? Museum workers, researchers, policy makers,...
○ Where is the data used? Exhibition hall, at home, at an office,...
○ When is the data used? Before a visit, during a meeting,...
https://dashboard.vlaamsekunstcollectie.be
65. Next up
● Expanding the number of art collections on Arthub Flanders
○ Mu.ZEE, M HKA, Middelheim, S.M.A.K.
● Integrate IIIF support and offer improved image quality
○ International Image Interoperability Framework
○ https://iiif.io
● Expand towards other interested museums
○ Complementary collections in similar platforms
