Grassroots & Ground Up Open GLAM: Building more sustainable networks, pathways and infrastructures to open GLAM participation

该项目的重点是支持开放的GLAM参与，从基层开始，并通过基层运动在较小的集合持有者和较小的数据聚合器。它通过扩展GLAM-E实验室的直接表示模型来支持新合作伙伴在导航权限许可，数字化，在线发布和数据摄取方面的工作，同时还开发和测试发布标准，以改善小型聚合器对这些新开放数据集的识别和验证。这项工作的所有发现将被简化为一个工具包，以帮助其他人建立自己的基层运动和地方网络，支持GLAM在项目结束后的开放参与。规模较小的藏品持有者越来越有兴趣建立成功的开放获取计划，以提高其藏品的知名度，并探索更多公众参与带来的新商业模式。像维基共享资源这样的流行平台和数据聚合器提供了低成本的发布选项，可以提高知名度和参与度，但它们也为开放GLAM参与带来了自己的障碍。具有定制数据模型的大型和资源充足的数据聚合器需要更高水平的专业知识来准备收集数据以供摄取;同时，更适合资源较少的组织发布的数据的小型数据聚合器通常将发布到维基共享资源的集合视为高风险，因为它们无法验证遗产数据集的权利状态。其结果是，较小的组织错过了一个巨大的机会，以CC 0的方式将集合发布到维基共享资源，使较小的聚合器和其他参与者能够使用维基媒体的开放API摄取数据，从而提高他们的可查找性，GLAM-E实验室将通过与美国和英国的小型收藏持有者和聚合者直接合作来应对这些挑战，开放式GLAM的边界景观和数字基础设施。项目活动最初将侧重于在德文郡和西南地区资源较少的组织中组织一场基层运动，以支持CC 0数字馆藏和数据的标准化和发布到维基共享资源和西南馆藏资源管理器。与此同时，实验室将与较小的聚合器合作，制定标准化的程序和政策，以识别和加载这些和其他较小组织的数字集合。到项目结束时，实验室将在开放获取工具包中发布所有新的发现和流程，以支持其他人开发自己的本地化开放GLAM活动和支持网络。该项目更广泛的影响将是扩大公众对数字化公共领域收藏品的访问，同时改善开放许可的收藏品和可供在线重用的数据的整体多样性。GLAM-E实验室汇集了英国和美国的从业者、学者、馆藏持有者和数据聚合者，对这些新的途径、网络和基础设施进行建模和测试，以实现更可持续的开放GLAM参与。通过这项新工作，The Lab将探索和弥合较小的馆藏持有者、平台和数据聚合器的需求，从而形成多样化的CC 0数字资产和数据，供各种本地和全球受众重用。该项目将通过实验室的网站、讲习班、活动和出版物传播研究成果。

This project focuses on supporting open GLAM participation from the ground up and through a grassroots campaign among smaller collections holders and smaller data aggregators. It does so by expanding The GLAM-E Lab's direct representation model to support new partners on aspects of navigating rights clearance, digitisation, online publication and data ingestion, while also developing and testing standards for publication to improve the identification and verification of these newly-opened datasets by smaller aggregators. All findings from this work will be reduced to a toolkit to help others build their own grassroots campaigns and local networks that can support open GLAM participation beyond the life of the project. Smaller collections holders are increasingly interested in building successful open access programmes that improve the visibility of their collections and explore the new business models that flow from greater public engagement. Popular platforms, like Wikimedia Commons, and data aggregators offer low-cost publication options that can improve visibility and engagement, but they also generate their own hurdles to open GLAM participation. Larger and well-resourced data aggregators with bespoke data models require higher levels expertise to prepare collections data for ingestion; meanwhile, smaller data aggregators that are a better fit for data published by less-well resourced organisations often view collections published to Wikimedia Commons as high-risk due to their inability to verify the rights status of the heritage datasets. The result is a huge missed opportunity for smaller organisations to publish collections as CC0 to Wikimedia Commons in a way that enables smaller aggregators and other actors to ingest data using Wikimedia's open API, thereby improving their findability, reusability and overall potential.The GLAM-E Lab will meet these challenges by working directly with smaller collections holders and aggregators in the US and UK to improve the cross-border landscape and digital infrastructures of open GLAM. Project activities will initially focus on the organisation of a grassroots campaign among less well-resourced organisations in the Devon and South West Area to support the standardisation and publication of CC0 digital collections and data to Wikimedia Commons and the South West Collections Explorer. At the same time, The Lab will collaborate with smaller aggregators to develop standardised procedures and policies for identifying and onboarding the digital collections of these and other smaller organisations. By the end of the project, The Lab will publish all new findings and processes in an open access toolkit to support others in developing their own localised open GLAM campaigns and support networks. The project's wider impact will be to expand public access to digitised public domain collections while improving the overall diversity of openly-licensed collections and data available for reuse online. The GLAM-E Lab brings together UK and US practitioners, academics, collections holders and data aggregators to model and test these new pathways, networks and infrastructures to more sustainable open GLAM participation. Through this new work, The Lab will explore and bridge the needs of smaller collections holders, platforms and data aggregators, leading to a diverse landscape of CC0 digital assets and data available for reuse by a diverse range of local and global audiences. The project will disseminate the research findings via the Lab's website, workshops, events and publications.
