Where Next for Open Culture Data?

Where Next for Open Culture Data?

This video describes the project Open Culture Data that started as a grassroots movement in late 2011, with the aim to open up data in the cultural sector and stimulate (creative) reuse. In this context, the authors organised a hackathon, which resulted in the creation of 13 Open Culture Data apps. After this successful first half year, a solid network of cultural heritage professionals, copyright and open data experts and developers was formed. Currently, almost 40 datasets have been opened up, and as many apps have been developed. In this video, the authors share lessons-learned that will inform heritage institutions with real-life quantitative and qualitative experiences, best practices and guidelines from their peers for opening up data and the ways in which this data is reused. Since the open culture data field is still relatively young, this is highly relevant information needed to stimulate others to join the open data movement.

This video is based on the paper Open Culture Data: Opening GLAM Data Bottom-up, presented at the 2013 Museum and the Web conference.
