[OpenGLAM] help - outstanding cases in opening data/ reuse cases

[Sam Leon]

Hi Helene,

Wow, some big questions, and it would be difficult to capture all that has
been going on in this area in one email.

A couple of pointers for general resources that might help you answer your
question and a few examples off the top of my head.

*GLAM Institutions opening up data*
*
*

   - The OpenGLAM blog has many examples and announcements of GLAMs opening
   up, see for instance the recent post about the Walter's Museum removing
   their non-commercial clause on public domain works (
   http://openglam.org/2013/04/25/2060/). I'd suggest a trawl through the
   archive :)
   - OpenGLAM Open Collections (http://openglam.org/open-collections/)
   lists numerous examples of collections held by GLAMs that have open
   licenses applied to them

*Re-use of openly licensed material*
*
*

   - Again - a huge area - and one where we could do with better statistics
   and metrics (so great your doing this work)
   - The GLAMWiki case studies on use of openly licensed material from
   GLAMs on Wikimedia sites might be an interesting starting point. Sarah
   Stierch published one on OpenGLAM (
   http://openglam.org/2013/01/22/walters-art-museum-a-case-study-in-sharing/),
   but more can be found on the GLAMWiki site itself.

*
*Interesting cases of collaborations, crowdsourcing, enriching metadata, etc
*
*
*

   - There are many examples in this area, but a few off the top of my head:
      - The Transcribe Bentham Project -
      http://blogs.ucl.ac.uk/transcribe-bentham/
      - Distributed Proofreaders (who help to transcribe a lot of
      Gutenberg's books) - http://www.pgdp.net/c/
      - Old Weather, crowdsourcing the weather of the past using ships logs
      from 150 years ago - http://www.oldweather.org/

I hope that helps and do share back the fruits of your labour, it would be
great to see the examples you come up with.

All the best,
Sam
