Open Science, Open Data: towards a new transparent and reproducible ecosystemLIBER Europe
Presented at the Preforma Open Source Workshop 8 April 2016
As a library membership organization, LIBER works on addressing Open Science barriers. Standardisation of file formats can really help in overcoming some of these barriers: it enables us to process and preserve data in a controlled way, it helps ensure that outputs are really open and accessible in the long term and it improves interoperability of new tools and services. Making sure data is stored in a controlled way and can be (re) used today and in the future is an important element in Open Science. We see this as not only a technical challenge but also a social one: awareness, trust and community building is needed in order to ensure uptake of these standards. Libraries therefore have a valuable role to play in the development of good research data management throughout all phases of the Open Data lifecycle.
Exploring Audiovisual Archives through Aligned Thesauri Victor de Boer
Slides for the presentation given at the MTSR 2016 conference in Gottingen, Germany for the paper "Exploring Audiovisual Archives through Aligned Thesauri" by Victor de Boer, Matthias Priem, Michiel Hildebrand, Nico Verplancke, Arjen de Vries, and Johan Oomen.
In this paper, we present a case study where partial
collections of two audiovisual archives (Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision and VIAA) are connected by aligning their thesauri. We report on the conversion of one of the thesauri to SKOS and on the subsequent application of an interactive alignment tool CultuurLINK. Finally, we introduce an cross-collection browser which uses the produced alignment to allow users to explore connections between the two collections.

Connecting Collections: exposing objects in a Linked Data search engineMuseums Computer Group
Rebecca Kahn – Director of Collections (Pelagios Commons and Alexander von Humboldt Institute for Internet and Society, Berlin)
Pelagios Commons is a Linked Open Data project, which connects historical materials, such as texts, images (including maps) and objects to each other using Linked Open Data and Geodata specifically.
This session will highlight how decentralised collaborative models, (which have become increasingly common in larger museum tech communities) can be used to the of benefit smaller institutions by helping to expose their collections, without the need for high levels of technical skills among staff or large datasets.

Browsing News Archives From The Perspective Of History: The Papyrus Browser H...Manolis Platakis
News Archives constitute an important source for historians, both for research and educational purposes. However, access to their material is not easy due to the special characteristics of the archival content as well as the possible difference between the historian's vocabulary and that of the Archive. In the context of the Papyrus EU-funded project, the requirements of historians have been investigated and taken into account for the creation of a specialized web-based tool, the Papyrus Browser. This paper focuses on the description of the requirements that lead to the design of this tool and provides a detailed description of its main view, the Historiographical Issues View. Design and implementation issues are discussed, as well as plans for future work on the tool.

This is my mega-updated version that we now use with Year 10 pupils studying AQA syllabus B. It links in with p48-51 of the AQA b textbook. It is a great way of getting pupils to show progress and develop their high order thinking skills! It also uses the vision frame exercise from "Representing Geography" to enable students to understand Dharavi.
i would appreciate any feedback that you or your students can give me on this.
Thanks

An August 2017 presentation by Eleanor Fink to "The Networked Curator: Association of Art Museum Curators Foundation Digital Literacy Workshop for Art Curators"
This paper surveys the landscape of linked open data projects in cultural heritage, exam- ining the work of groups from around the world. Traditionally, linked open data has been ranked using the five star method proposed by Tim Berners-Lee. We found this ranking to be lacking when evaluating how cultural heritage groups not merely develop linked open datasets, but find ways to used linked data to augment user experience. Building on the five-star method, we developed a six-stage life cycle describing both dataset development and dataset usage. We use this framework to describe and evaluate fifteen linked open data projects in the realm of cultural heritage.

Do the LOCAH-Motion: How to Make Bibliographic and Archival Linked DataAdrian Stevenson
Presentation given at the Dev8d Developer Days event at the University of London Students Union, London, UK on 15th February 2011.
The talk was primarily aimed at developers with the assumption that they knew a bit about RDF and Linked Data, so it doesn’t discuss these except in passing. I was mainly trying to give some specifics on the technicalities involved, and what platforms and tools we’re using, so people can follow the same path if they wanted.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

3. WW1 Discovery Project
• Proof-of-Concept illustrating
principles of the JISC Discovery
initiative
• Discovery about advocating
‘open’ and ‘aggregating’
• Make digital content more
discoverable by people and
machines
www.discovery.ac.uk
• Built WW1 aggregation API
and discovery layers
4.
5. What is an API?
• ‘Application Programming Interface’
• Allows machine readability of data
– Typically over the Web
• Provides access to content or functions for
other systems
• Many ways to do this – e.g.
– Google, Facebook, Flickr, twitter APIs ….
– OAI-PMH, Z39.50
– RDF - Linked Data, Semantic Web
5
6. WW1 Discovery: How?
• Aggregate and ‘wrap’
data from existing APIs
– NMM, V&A,
Europeana
• Help others with
example API – BL,
Welsh Voices, Postal
Museum
• Formats: SOLR, RSS,
OpenSearch, OAI-PMH,
CSV
18. Challenges
• Lack of APIs
• Difficulties merging data
– Varied content and formats
– APIs can change
– Relevance ranking dubious
• From Discovery ‘Technical Principles’ - “Discovery is distributed …
Discovery is concerned with a plethora of information resources and
services from a wide variety of sources and is prepared, where
appropriate, to deal with these in situ”
• Speed of API response
• Lack of content
– images
– geo-data and time data
• Content licenses not open

Editor's Notes
Today talk about WW1 DiscoveryThis page from blog and can get more info there.Not all that useful one linerWill explore
WW1 part of major JISC activity called Discovery. Has ceased under this name and lots changing at Jisc, but still discovery activities a major activity.Core of Discovery advocating open data & licenses – v sim to Europeana.Perhaps less familiar is aggregating data – how you bring resources together. We tried to use data where it sits rather than gathering.Have created overlay API – the wrapping based on subject of WW1Created two user interfaces – unwrap the mediated data
JISC Discovery vision doc.We have IWM and V&A.API in area 2 of the diagramIntefaces is layer. Meets still very common use case. Also mention the technical principles
Lots could say about APIs but will focus on the resource discovery aspects.About machine readability.Most info marked up for humans on the web. Very useful but has its limits.APIs allows machines to read effectively the same info.Usually over the web but doesn’t have to be .Many ways of doing this. API isn’t a standard tho standards so existEg. Twitter client such as tweetdeck, hootsute, janetter – use the APIIncreasing interest in linked data and the web in museums space. WW1 not linked data – mention Locah and linking lives.Some have more of an interoperability focus, some more proprietary.
More specifically aggregating data from APIsUsing APIs and helping institutions set up APIs. Phase 1 Kings College work identified institutions with good WW1 stuff. Unfortunately this work wasn’t focussed so much on technical provision.Only a few identified sources had APIs- V&A and NMM.IWM API under the radar.Also data from other aggregators such as Euroepana and Culture Grid – Great war Arhive and Euroepana 1914-1918. Picking certain things.Revised project plan and tried to help data sources.Optimistic plan didn’t work. Have taken data from and set up examples at Mimas. In addition, very few data source institutions have APIs.Aim was to take data in all sorts of formats. SOLR very poplular.Open search.
First version of API released November 2012. Have been many subsequent revisions and are almost there with it. Worked through last set of bus and fixes late January 2013.APIs line other search servies like google using query syntax.Available as XML and JSON.About 12 data sources
Now onto the demonstratorsWorked with 2 suppliersHome page hereKCL identified unexplored areas that used as themes.
Can drag it around –tries to present nice exploratory format
Tried to highlight visual side of thingsA challenge is that many things have no images
Some nice stuff from NMM. Can get usual things – description, larger image and click through to to site and see licening info
Worked with WAWWD. Also a has a search
Note this is where the crowdsourcing comes inCan tell your own story.Idea is to feed this info back to data sources
Click street view to get overlayview
Can place images
Also has a map view. Can pull around an click through for interesting stuff.
Challenges include the lack of APIs available to aggregate data. Data comes in all shapes and sizes. Tried to work live with data where it is – called federated searching – decided to have another go. Means completely up to date. Don’t have to manage data locally – less maintenance.Tech principles suggest using data in situ here.Merits of this is that data doesn’t get stale and that in principle shouldn’t have data maintenance issues centralisers have such as Archives Hub.Mimas also does lots of centralisation stuff so wanted to try a diff approachAlso most API suited to querying, not harvesting.No valid way to relevance rank the search results of the different data sources against each other,.Acknowledged that even when you do centralise and have a view of all the MD, still questionable how rank, as they come in all shapes, sizes, quality and degrees of sparcity or not as Europeana appear to have found.Of course, if not using API for cross searching, this may well not be a problem.APIs are not meant for aggregating.Historypin god for getting missing but no good flow for feeding this data back to institutions.
