I'm still here :-) and still very much interested in the cultural heritage space and how to get content out of museums to the world of developers and (one day) real people, too. I'm particularly passionate about UX and EASY programmatic access (i.e REST, OpenSearch, RSS). |

Help shore up the API to help get it standardizeFormats used in LOD-LAM d. Test and implement. Evangelize the use of the API. Eventually I want to be a consumer of the data for my museum iPhone application called Mused (http://musedapp.com)
In the end, I want this data to help increase awareness and attendance to museums.

I have an interest in user-generated content and the potential of APIs, RDF etc to make content more accessible and relevant to learners, within the education and museum sector. Prior to becoming a student I worked in the e-learniung team at the NZ Ministry of Education. A key project was The Le@rning Federation (TLF) initiative, www.thelearningfederation.edu.au.

Not a programmer, but a fairly good grasp on cultural and natural collection metadata and digital assets. Looking to provide as much access and reuse of our collections as possible, and to get them out into the woooorld.
Also interested in not just the technical and data challenges, but also the organisational barriers, and how better to work across organisations.

Welcome Virginia! It sounds like you can make really useful contributions.
And it's good to see you're still here, Mike :)

Thomas, the Remarks at http://museums.wikia.com/wiki/Stewardship_and_Cultural_Memory_Organizations_in_the_Digital_Age#Museums are interesting, particularly the 'validation/evaluation/review process' cycle for museums accepting user-generated content. Do you know of any museums putting that into practice?
Mia said

Contributors and 'register your interest' pages merged - hopefully no more confusion.

Mia, these remarks are part of the conversation and discussion during the "Friday Afternoon Seminar". Because Wikipedia has to deal with a lot of input from "unknown" authors, their model of the validation/evaluation/review process could be helpful for museums as well. But I don't know any practical use in museums though.

Thanks for putting that in context.
The Berlin museums have such fabulous collections, are they thinking about releasing them in any kind of machine-accessible way?

They do already in the "BAM-Portal" (http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/BAM-Portal) using the "museumdat" standard (http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Museumdat).

Dan - I was hoping I'd get smarter too!
And welcome Joy - your ideas sound really interesting, I've always wondered about the viability of APIs as a resource for learners. It seems that without easy drag-and-drop or visualisation tools (and lots of tutorials and examples) it's pretty difficult to get people started - is that the kind of thing you're looking at, or is it more general?
