'The design consists of three overlapping landscaped volumes that gently rise from the forest floor. The museum will be partially sunken in the ground, so that it blends with the surrounding park and minimizes its footprint. Planted with native species, the sloping green roofs will offer habitats for local flora and fauna.'

#Wikidata-Workshop-Wunschkonzert: vorauss. am 20. Mai mache ich bei @digiSberlin einen Wikidata-Workshop für #GLAM|s. Schwerpunkt soll nicht das konkrete Hands-on-Editing sein, sondern eher die allgemeineren Fragen: Wozu kann Wikidata verwendet werden, welche Workflows und Tools stehen zur Verfügung; aber auch Vorbehalte (Vandalismus, Datensouveränität) sollen angesprochen werden. Mich würde interessieren, was Euch hier unter den Nägeln brennt und welche Themen eine Rolle spielen sollten.

eine Bitte an Personen, die in #GLAM|s erschließen: für einen Workshop bin ich auf der Suche nach Screenshots, die zeigen, wie in den verschiedenen Systemen die #Normdaten|einbindung funktioniert. Falls also jemand helfen kann, wäre ich für ein Bild + Namen des Systems dankbar! Ich würde das Material gerne auch öffentlich zugänglich machen. Namensnennung auf Wunsch gern!

gern auch per Mail an winkler@zib.de

Vielen Dank für die Hilfe!

I've written a new blog post on the #Trove API keys debacle that answers some questions raised by my first two posts, and provides some updates on recent actions by the National Library of Australia. updates.timsherratt.org/2025/0 Please share!

#GLAM #histodons @histodons #digitalHumanities

updates.timsherratt.org · Update on Trove data access and my suspended API keysOn 21 February, my Trove API keys were cancelled without warning. A week later, I met with NLA staff and was shocked to be told that downloading ‘content’, such as the text of digitised newspaper articles, was regarded as a breach of the API terms of use. Without API access I can’t continue my work helping researchers make use of Trove. More generally though, the NLA’s actions threaten innovative digital research.

If you're a #Trove API user who has received an email from Trove's 'Community Liaison Team' asking you to confirm acceptance of the API terms of use, you might want to read this for background: updates.timsherratt.org/2025/0

The email doesn't actually explain what has changed in the terms of use. In particular it doesn't explain that downloading digitised newspaper text from the API is a breach of the terms of use and requires an individual exemption. I'm working on a new post with more details. #histodons #GLAM #digitalHumanities

updates.timsherratt.org · Trove API users beware! – the latest in the saga of my cancelled API keysAfter my Trove API keys were cancelled without warning on 21 February, I reluctantly agreed to a meeting with the National Library of Australia. They had provided so little information in their emails, that it seemed to be the only way to find out what was really going on. I came out of the meeting shocked by the NLA’s change in attitude towards API use. TL;DR – you’re probably breaching the API terms of use All Trove API users need to be aware that the NLA now insists that accessing the ‘content’ of resources, rather than just the descriptive metadata, is a breach of the API terms of use.

'The Outpost 51 Alien Museum, located in Boulder City, is packed with wild alien recreations and fascinating events linked to extraterrestrials.

The owner, Tom Devlin, is a special effects artist and creates and builds the displays.

One display includes a deep dive into the Roswell Incident, complete with life-size replicas of the aliens some believe crash landed there in 1947.'

In other news, I used the Public Record Office Victoria's *open* API to add more than 6 million records about people to the GLAM Name Index Search (in total there's more than 13 million from 10 #GLAM organisations). There's some notes here: updates.timsherratt.org/2025/0 #archives #familyHistory

updates.timsherratt.org · More than 6 million rows of data from Public Record Office Victoria added to the GLAM Name Index SearchThe GLAM Name Index Search now includes more than 6 million rows of data from the Public Record Office Victoria, downloaded using their public API. The GLAM Name Index Search brings together records that include the names of people from 10 Australian GLAM organisations. With a single search, you can find information about individuals across millions of rows of data. Previous versions of the GLAM Name Index Search included a few datasets from the Public Record Office Victoria that had been shared through government open data portals.

Bald ist mein Buch fertig...

Kapitel 1 zur Transformation von Museen und zur parallelen Digitalisierung der Museen. Fallstudie SMB-digital 1990-2011

Kap. 2 zu Museen und Plattformkapitalismus

Kap. 3 zu semantischen Netzwerken (z.B. Auseinandersetzung mit Netzwerkvisualisierungen, 🢂Screenshot)

Screenshot von Text: Diese Bilderwolken sind durchaus als kritisches Instrument einsetzbar, wenn wir uns zum Beispiel fragen, welche Formen der Repräsentation quantitativ vorherrschen. Wir sehen sogar die Abwesenheit von anderen Repräsentationen durch die Lücken der Wolke. Die Bilderwolke ist kein Erkenntnismedium an sich, sondern erlaubt höchstens, sich die Macht der Sammlung im wahrsten Wortsinn vor Augen zu führen. Die Bilderwolken aber unkritisch als Vermittlungsmedien vorzustellen, wie es in vielen Projekten großer Museen passiert – als vermeintlich ‚neutraler‘ Überblick - zur Erkundung der Sammlungen, verharmlost hingegen die Macht der Sammlungen, die Macht der Repräsentation und der Deutungshoheit. Die ist nun nicht mehr explizit wie in einem Katalogtext oder Schild im Museum, sondern wird durch die Verarbeitung als Raumkoordinaten durch den auf Klassifizierungen trainierten Algorithmus paradoxerweise unsichtbar gemacht. Die Bilderwolke überlagert die Argumentationsweisen, die Ästhetik das Argument.

'One of America's first examples of public housing are the Jane Adams Homes in Chicago, built in 1938 and named for the trailblazing reformer. Fast forward to now, and there are some 1 million public housing units in the U.S., and the Adams Homes are getting a second act as a museum dedicated to telling the story of public housing. '

"A Wellington Library is trialling a new way of cataloguing its mātauranga Māori books, organising them by atua (deity) rather than by the Dewey Decimal system.... Bridget Jennings is the Senior Cataloguing Specialist at Wellington City Libraries, she said they wanted to create a structure for the library's collections based on how knowledge is organised in te ao Māori."
