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!
