项目摘要

The purpose of this project is to explore the impact of new information and communications technologies on public interaction with and awareness of publicly-owned works of art in museum collections. The focus of the research project is a case study, YourPaintings Tagger, an important new crowdsourcing initiative in the Arts and Humanities. YourPaintings is a major new digital art collection from the Public Catalogue Foundation (PCF), comprising digital images of 200,000 publicly-held oil paintings in the UK, 80% of which are currently not on public display. This exciting new resource will be completed in 2012 and mounted on the BBC website, where the collection will be freely available to all. In advance of its public launch, YourPaintings is embarking on a crowdsourcing initiative to create and enhance metadata for the collection. The YourPaintings Tagger will ask the public to provide supporting information for the digital images, from simple descriptive tags to information about sitters, locations and artists. By monitoring the usage and impact of this initiative from the ground up, the project will consider the potential of crowdsourcing techniques in the Arts and Humanities.Crowdsourcing initiatives have become increasingly popular means of generating content and analysis from large data sets. They have many advantages, offering a cost-effective means of adding or engaging with content, bringing researchers into contact with the public in innovative and involving ways, and generating interest in and access to scientific and cultural resources that can be hidden from public view. These initiatives are also politically timely, as they conform to the government's drive towards a 'Big Society', in which 'people power' is harnessed to enhance community resources. Thus far they have primarily been located within the sciences, with successful initiatives such as Galaxy Zoo, e-Bird and Foldit leading the way. These techniques are now spreading to the Arts and Humanities, with manuscript projects such as Transcribe Bentham and Old Weather now in their early stages. YourPaintings Tagger is an innovative attempt to bring crowdsourcing to the Arts via a major publicly owned cultural heritage resource, and to introduce the strategy of asking for community contributed content as an integral part of resource development. In addition to analysing a large data set that will be a crucial addition to the research community, publicly contributed metadata will allow all visitors to the YourPaintings site to search and discover the collection.This project will examine the impact of this crowdsourcing initiative in the Arts and Humanities community, asking whether it succeeds in encouraging the public to contribute quality data, and investigating what impact this data has on the digital resource YourPaintings. It will look at user communities, how users contribute data, what kind of data they contribute, and how this data is viewed by different (expert and non-expert) users. It will look at communities, both of resources and of people, to show how these intersect with one another and how YourPaintings Tagger impacts upon them. The results of the research will be disseminated to the widest possible audience, through traditional academic outputs such as conference and seminar papers, peer-reviewed publications, a project website and workshop, as well as through contacts with policy and third sector organisations facilitated by project partners at the PCF and BBC. Discussion of methods used to conduct the research will be contributed to the JISC-funded Toolkit for the Impact of Digitised Scholarly Resources together with guides to any new techniques or methods developed during the research project.

这个项目的目的是探索新的信息和通信技术对公众与博物馆收藏的公共艺术作品的互动和意识的影响。研究项目的重点是一个案例研究，YourPaintings Tagger，这是艺术和人文学科中一个重要的新众包计划。YourPaintings是来自公共目录基金会（PCF）的一个重要的新数字艺术收藏，包括20万幅英国公共收藏的油画的数字图像，其中80%目前没有公开展出。这个令人兴奋的新资源将于2012年完成，并在BBC网站上发布，在那里所有人都可以免费获得。在公开发布之前，YourPaintings开始了一项众包计划，为收藏创建和增强元数据。YourPaintings标签将要求公众为数字图像提供支持信息，从简单的描述性标签到关于模特、地点和艺术家的信息。通过从头开始监测这一倡议的使用情况和影响，该项目将考虑在艺术和人文学科中众包技术的潜力。众包计划已经成为越来越受欢迎的从大型数据集生成内容和分析的方式。它们有许多优势，提供了一种经济有效的方式来增加或参与内容，使研究人员以创新和参与的方式与公众接触，并产生对可能隐藏在公众视野之外的科学和文化资源的兴趣和获取途径。这些举措在政治上也很及时，因为它们符合政府推动“大社会”的目标，即利用“人民力量”来增加社区资源。到目前为止，它们主要位于科学领域，诸如Galaxy Zoo、e-Bird和Foldit等成功的举措引领了这一道路。这些技术现在正在传播到艺术和人文学科，像抄写边沁和旧天气这样的手稿项目现在处于早期阶段。YourPaintings Tagger是一个创新的尝试，通过一个主要的公共文化遗产资源，将众包引入艺术，并引入要求社区贡献内容的策略，作为资源开发的组成部分。除了分析大型数据集（这将是研究社区的重要补充）之外，公开贡献的元数据将允许所有访问YourPaintings网站的访问者搜索和发现这些收藏。该项目将考察这一众包计划在艺术和人文社区的影响，询问它是否成功地鼓励公众贡献高质量的数据，并调查这些数据对数字资源YourPaintings的影响。它将关注用户社区，用户如何贡献数据，他们贡献的数据类型，以及不同（专家和非专家）用户如何查看这些数据。它将着眼于社区，包括资源和人员，以展示这些社区如何相互交叉，以及YourPaintings Tagger如何影响他们。研究结果将通过传统的学术成果，如会议和研讨会论文、同行评审的出版物、项目网站和讲习班，以及通过与政策和第三部门组织的联系，由项目合作伙伴在PCF和英国广播公司的协助下，传播给尽可能广泛的受众。用于开展研究的方法的讨论将贡献给jiscc资助的数字化学术资源影响工具包，以及研究项目期间开发的任何新技术或方法的指南。这个免费资源可以在www.microsites.oii.ox.ac.uk/tidsr上找到。
