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

这个项目的重点是支持GLAM的公开参与，从底层开始，并通过在较小的集合持有者和较小的数据聚合者之间开展基层运动。为此，它扩展了GLAM-E实验室的直接代表模式，以支持在导航权利清除、数字化、在线出版和数据吸收方面的新合作伙伴，同时还开发和测试出版标准，以改进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，以帮助其他人建立他们自己的基层运动和地方网络，这些活动和网络可以在项目生命周期之后支持开放的GLAM参与。较小的馆藏所有者越来越有兴趣建立成功的开放获取计划，以提高其馆藏的可见性，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，可以提高可见度和参与度，但它们也为开放GLAM参与带来了自己的障碍。拥有定制数据模型的更大、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；与此同时，较小的数据聚合器更适合由资源较少的组织发布的数据，但由于无法验证传统数据集的权利状态，它们通常将发布到维基共享资源的集合视为高风险。其结果是，小型组织失去了将集合作为CC0发布到维基共享资源的机会，而小型聚合器和其他参与者可以使用维基共享资源的开放API来获取数据，从而提高它们的可查找性、可重用性和整体潜力。GLAM- e实验室将通过直接与美国和英国的小型收藏持有者和聚合者合作来应对这些挑战，以改善开放GLAM的跨境景观和数字基础设施。项目活动最初将集中于在德文郡和西南地区资源不足的组织中组织基层运动，以支持CC0数字馆藏的标准化和出版，并向维基共享资源和西南馆藏探索者提供数据。与此同时，本实验所亦会与较小的资讯聚合机构合作，制定标准化的程序和政策，以识别这些机构及其他较小机构的数码馆藏。在项目结束时，该实验室将在开放获取工具包中发布所有新发现和流程，以支持其他人开发自己的本地化开放GLAM活动和支持网络。该项目的更广泛影响将是扩大公众对数字化公共领域馆藏的访问，同时改善开放许可馆藏和可在线重用数据的整体多样性。GLAM- e实验室将英国和美国的从业者、学者、数据收集者和数据聚合者聚集在一起，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，该实验室将探索并满足较小的收藏持有者、平台和数据聚合者的需求，从而形成一个可供不同范围的本地和全球受众重用的CC0数字资产和数据的多样化景观。该项目将通过实验室的网站、工作坊、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.
