Hi Marieke, all,
Stepping aside from the substantive & categorisation aspects for a bit and diving into the tools question: I’ve been looking left and right for a proper solution to such list-building and -keeping, for the list of open video collections we started on the EUscreen Wordpress blog in 2011. Moving it around and keeping it up to date has proven somewhat cumbersome. I’ve been playing with OKF’s Listify, but iFrames don’t always adapt well to a plethora of browsers. For bibliographies there’s the excellent ZotPress plug-in, but I think using it for weblinks / collection descriptions would be stretching the demands of a tool like Zotero.
I am considering to display the list through a simple bookmarking RSS feed display. I use Pinboard for my bookmarking, which gives RSS (and many other) export formats based on tags and other characteristics. These can be displayed in Wordpress with a plug-in such as wp-rss-multi-importer which gives yet some more display and sorting facilities.
Curious to see if this works for you or whether you have different demands - or simply better ideas.
Warm regards and best of luck,
Erwin

I would see the aggregators indicated through tags - so people can filter to see only the collections themselves or see aggregators or even all resources available. i.e. the top level of an aggregator would be just another item in the database. But maybe other people have different ideas on how we could do this? Possibly through harvesting APIs? My technical skills let me down here!

The other is 'aggregators' of open collections such as Open Cultuur Data, the PD review, Europeana Labs, and perhaps even entire Europeana can be considered an Open Collection if you use the right filters.

I for example do not think it is feasible and useful if we go into these aggregators and pick out the open collections to copy to the OpenGLAM site. Sounds like duplication of work which is too much for a volunteer led effort (but maybe I am wrong here).

In terms of finding extra GLAMs you might find this "Sources" page at The Public Domain Review useful - though I actually also need to badly update this myself! http://publicdomainreview.org/sources/ There's lots of newly opened collection not listed on there such as Harvard, Qatar Digital LIbrary and more...
