4. 1. Open Content
Open digital copies of works which
have entered the public domain.
2. Open Data
Open data about works, e.g.
catalogues or databases of
descriptions.
5. “A global network of people
and organisations who are
working to open up content
and data held by GLAM
institutions.”
Open GLAM will
"Support principles, tools and resources
that enable GLAM institutions
to make digital versions of the PD works in their collections,
as well as the metadata relating to said works,
freely available for public use and re-use"
9. • Quick draft of rough Open GLAM vision
statement & principles (need review)
• Brainstorm Incentives & Barriers
• Brainstorm case studies
• Brainstorm next steps...
10. The Principles (Draft)
• GLAM institutions must be enabled to fulfil their traditional function in the
online environment for the sustainability of the access to digitised cultural
heritage.
• GLAM institutions can engage with the public as partners through
participation, collaboration and interaction (abandon the top down control
paradigm) and seek opportunities for public to recognising the value of
access ...
• Digital reproductions of works that are in the Public Domain must also belong
to the Public Domain. Use of works in the public domain should not be limited
by any means, either legal or technical. (Communia Recommendation #5
targets Glam institutions, no intention to have a viral effect on works
incorporating PD pieces)
• Digitisation projects that receive public funding must - at the minimum -
ensure that all digitised content is publicly available online.
12. Long term goals
- identify / conduct concrete
research about costs / benefits
to GLAM institutions
- create Creative Commons course for GLAM
- support / develop most relevant licensing terms
- consider supporting national GLAM
representatives with legal training
- encourage people create games / apps to show
usefulness of releasing information
- support links with newspapers, magazines who
will promote work
13. Short term plan:
(here’s where you come in!)
- Mailing list for communication: http://bit.ly/open-glam-list
- All welcome to join
- OKF will send slides & meeting notes - feedback please!
- Review GLAM Wiki Australia notes (in useful links)
- Please send introductions to people Open GLAM should contact
- Please send ideas of events Open GLAM should join
- Look into developing discussion with Cultural Partners list @
Wikimedia (currently closed list)
- use openglam.org to collate info,
- add Mediawiki element to allow contributions
- Create leaflets to distribute to GLAM institutions, encouraging
participation in working meetings & events
- Conference call / Skype meetup (mid-October)
- GLAM meeting @ogdcamp? http://ogdcamp.org
- Hire Open Data Evangelist...
14. EVENTS
- Many Open GLAM events already exist. Should be
harnessed.
- Should encourage pro-active participation in:
- GLAMcamp
- Educational Events
- Large Library conferences
- European Science Open Forum
- National events
- Open GLAM should encourage more:
- ‘working meetings’ e.g satellite events at
Wikimania, OKCon CCSummit
- in long term, more larger events
- e.g. Open GLAM festival
- e.g. Exhibitions featuring derivative works
