1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,560 Shared data is double data - the benefit of open data in the GLAM sector - 2 00:00:05,650 --> 00:00:14,080 My dream is that all institutions and all museums, cultural heritage institutions and 3 00:00:14,145 --> 00:00:18,545 all could release as much material free and accessible as possible. 4 00:00:19,142 --> 00:00:21,501 [Some are already making this dream come true.] 5 00:00:21,731 --> 00:00:24,061 [They are in castles and mansions.] 6 00:00:24,731 --> 00:00:29,000 My name is Karin Nilsson, I am heading the Digital museum on 7 00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:32,263 The Royal Armoury, Skokloster Castle and The Hallwyl Museum. 8 00:00:32,389 --> 00:00:35,309 [At museums.] 9 00:00:35,859 --> 00:00:40,891 My name is Maria Ljunggren and I am head of exhibitions at The Swedish National Maritime Museums. 10 00:00:42,301 --> 00:00:47,962 My name is Karin Glaseman and I am the digitization coordinator at Nationalmuseum. 11 00:00:48,492 --> 00:00:51,726 My name is Aron Ambrosiani and I am a digital producer 12 00:00:51,726 --> 00:00:54,292 at the Nordic Museum in Stockholm. 13 00:00:54,916 --> 00:00:58,152 My name is Ida Sixtensson and I am the head of the collections 14 00:00:58,152 --> 00:00:59,917 at The Maritime Museum. 15 00:00:59,917 --> 00:01:02,637 [In archives and libraries.] 16 00:01:02,917 --> 00:01:07,315 My name is Hans Melin and I am the CTO at Nobel Media. 17 00:01:07,532 --> 00:01:10,606 My name is Peter Krantz and I am the CIO at The National Library of Sweden. 18 00:01:11,981 --> 00:01:14,471 [They even work on behalf of the government!] 19 00:01:15,207 --> 00:01:19,430 Hi, My name is Johanna Berg and I work at Digisam on The Swedish National Archives as investigator. 20 00:01:19,741 --> 00:01:22,461 [Shared data is double data.] 21 00:01:22,901 --> 00:01:30,043 Our goal in making our data accessible is to contribute and be of use 22 00:01:30,043 --> 00:01:31,110 to the society. 23 00:01:32,142 --> 00:01:36,116 Our data is being used in visualizations and apps 24 00:01:36,116 --> 00:01:41,701 that have been made by everyone from journalists at well known media companies 25 00:01:41,701 --> 00:01:46,693 to amateurs in their spare time. Our materials have also been very 26 00:01:46,693 --> 00:01:49,304 frequently used in different kinds if education. 27 00:01:50,574 --> 00:01:55,737 Our open resources from, for example, The Royal Armoury we would like the schools 28 00:01:55,737 --> 00:01:59,558 to use as resources for example connected to the curriculum. 29 00:02:00,039 --> 00:02:04,692 We know that the Age of Greatness and Christina, Queen of Sweden are in the curriculum, 30 00:02:05,453 --> 00:02:11,245 and we want that through having open data, and having linked open data, 31 00:02:11,535 --> 00:02:15,717 that all pupils should be able to use these resources. 32 00:02:15,946 --> 00:02:18,946 [Great! but how do you do?] 33 00:02:20,306 --> 00:02:23,358 Think big, start small, work fast. 34 00:02:24,047 --> 00:02:29,228 You can actually get started quite easily, the first thing we did at KB 35 00:02:29,415 --> 00:02:33,573 was to put out information, even if we did not have all the metadata, 36 00:02:33,757 --> 00:02:39,625 on a loading dock, of sorts, where everybody freely could get the information. 37 00:02:39,949 --> 00:02:43,483 So it does not have to be perfect from the start, you can get started 38 00:02:43,623 --> 00:02:47,243 with something small, and then improve, because then you get feedback 39 00:02:47,276 --> 00:02:49,999 when it is out there and it is possible for others to tell if 40 00:02:50,030 --> 00:02:52,523 it is of enough quality for what they want to do. 41 00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:57,546 We started by opening our data through delivering it to Europeana, and a 42 00:02:57,546 --> 00:03:02,436 big surprise was that as soon as the data was there, it began to be downloaded 43 00:03:02,449 --> 00:03:04,129 by other initiatives. 44 00:03:04,909 --> 00:03:09,035 We are working with uploading all our high-res images on Wikimedia Commons 45 00:03:09,421 --> 00:03:15,676 to be able to link them to Wikipedia articles. We link to articles but 46 00:03:15,823 --> 00:03:20,877 above all, it is a possibility for all others to link to the material 47 00:03:21,020 --> 00:03:22,730 that they want to use. 48 00:03:23,138 --> 00:03:29,865 My tip is to dare to try, and to test and to be generous. 49 00:03:30,043 --> 00:03:32,853 [Open data opens new and unexpected doors.] 50 00:03:33,333 --> 00:03:41,370 The main benefit of opening your data I would say is, that we as a museum 51 00:03:41,643 --> 00:03:47,826 do not really know exactly what people want out of our content. 52 00:03:48,330 --> 00:03:51,763 I think it is particularly nice to see when information is being merged 53 00:03:51,965 --> 00:03:55,460 from different sources and puzzle together the cultural heritage again and give 54 00:03:55,739 --> 00:03:58,575 a new understanding of things that have happened or history and so on. 55 00:03:59,986 --> 00:04:05,353 The best with open data, and particularly linked data is to connect 56 00:04:05,501 --> 00:04:11,166 the data sets to each other, and it opens up new opportunities for us 57 00:04:11,332 --> 00:04:16,629 to get access to other data sets and to get access to more information and 58 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:20,640 more connections between the data sets. 59 00:04:21,257 --> 00:04:27,160 My favorite example of what has been done with open data is when we have been 60 00:04:27,331 --> 00:04:33,761 able to see how the world of 1600 - 1650 looked at. With the help of institutions 61 00:04:33,937 --> 00:04:38,838 who have published their material, and their information, we have been able to find 62 00:04:39,056 --> 00:04:43,791 material, but through the metadata also find where we can find more 63 00:04:43,961 --> 00:04:48,142 material so that we can contact each institution and expand 64 00:04:48,302 --> 00:04:53,974 collaborations and really enhance the view of what the times looked like. 65 00:04:55,112 --> 00:04:59,065 Collaborations in linked open data initiatives obviously also 66 00:04:59,065 --> 00:05:01,635 improve our own information. 67 00:05:01,785 --> 00:05:06,883 Just that so many more see and use the information will cause 68 00:05:07,043 --> 00:05:11,544 deficiencies to be found and errors to be found that we would never find ourselves. 69 00:05:11,854 --> 00:05:14,404 [Your mission gets easier.] 70 00:05:14,854 --> 00:05:19,784 Our digitized collections are being shared on, for instance, Wikimedia Commons. 71 00:05:20,404 --> 00:05:25,151 We want to be where people are and we want our material to be shared, 72 00:05:25,340 --> 00:05:28,692 used and re-used as much as possible. 73 00:05:28,780 --> 00:05:31,401 That way we will better fulfill our mission, 74 00:05:31,401 --> 00:05:34,021 to tell a story about the maritime cultural heritage. 75 00:05:34,401 --> 00:05:39,199 Our mission is to share information about the Nobel laureates and their discoveries, 76 00:05:39,492 --> 00:05:43,793 and to do that with the help of open data is a given for us. 77 00:05:45,708 --> 00:05:50,236 We have since many years made all our data and all 78 00:05:50,236 --> 00:05:54,356 the images that we can, accessible freely for everybody. 79 00:05:54,906 --> 00:05:58,025 We have done this because we are a public authority, 80 00:05:58,171 --> 00:06:03,286 because we live by the principle of public access to official records and the PSI directive 81 00:06:04,096 --> 00:06:07,715 and because it is the right of the Swedish taxpayers and the public 82 00:06:07,733 --> 00:06:09,896 to share in the material. 83 00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:14,514 But the fundamental rule should be that all public data should be open for 84 00:06:14,668 --> 00:06:16,820 everybody to use, in any way. 85 00:06:18,765 --> 00:06:21,877 Period! I have nothing more to add!
