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

Wed Jul 31 21:12:38 UTC 2013

Hi Michael,

great that you ask!

I'm trying to make a list of case studies to show how difficult it might 
get for cultural institutions to open up there data and/or reuse it. I 
also want to sum up examples or cases that worked well (in Germany and 
worldwide) and have a closer look at those that didn't and figure out why.

I've been doing research before to find some interesting cases, but they 
are quiet
difficult to find (unless there are big institutions involved in the 
opening process, so that online newspapers would write about).

As for the conference part: The conference "Zugang gestalten!" takes 
place in Germany in September and is (among others) adressing exactly 
this topic: how can cultural institutions open up there data, why is 
this important, what problems need to be solved etc.

We, the Open Knowledge Foundation Germany, want to show some outstanding 
cases concerning the three categories I've mentioned before (GLAM 
institutions opening up there data, commercial and non-commercial re-use 
cases, interesting cases of collaborations, crowdsourcing, enriching 
metadata etc.) at the conference to show some best practice examples and 
discuss them in the community and also to learn from them.

Because there are so many people involved in this topic, I thought it 
might be great to ask our community to get advice :)

If you have some recommendations or other ideas on that topic, please 
let me know.

Best wishes,
Helene
