October 2011 LODLAM meetup

Page history last edited by Mia 12 years, 6 months ago Saved with comment

October 6, central London - open data in cultural heritage

 

This is a meetup for people interested in the applications of linked and open data for cultural heritage.  It's expanding the 'linking museums' meetups to think more widely about Linked Open Data in Libraries Archives and Museums (LODLAM), and will focus on the success stories for open data in cultural heritage (and a nod to the barriers).

 

With the support of the Open Knowledge Foundation, we're able to offer a central London venue with space for short presentations and for break-out sessions.

 

Why?

It's time to gather together the success stories of open data projects, and to address the reasons that more cultural institutions aren't publishing open data.  We need your help - share your success stories, and think creatively about how we can overcome the barriers.

 

We'll also have some interesting speakers with short talks on their work with open data in cultural heritage, including Paul Rowe, Joint CEO at Vernon Systems in New Zealand, Jonathan Whitson Cloud on "CIDOC and the British Museum", and potentially Leif Isaksen, who could share his experiences with the Google Ancient Places (GAP) and PELAGIOS projects.

 

If you've got an idea for a lightning talk, contact Mia (@mia_out).

 

Who?

You! If you're interested in using or publishing open cultural data and want to help getting better data out there for people to use... Or if you work with a cultural institution and are curious to know why people care so much, or want to know how open data might help your organisation, we'd love you to come along to find out more.

 

Where?

Centre for Creative Collaboration, 16 Acton Street London Greater London WC1X 9NG [map and directions].

Hi Paul, it'll be an evening event, probably 7 - 9pm with the option of continuing in the pub afterwards... Something like this one: http://londonopendatameetup-estw.eventbrite.com/
