Dear MCG'ers,
Having just returned from the #TDPL13 conference in Malta on the subject
of connecting museum, library and archive data and the Big Data agenda
in Digital Humanities and scientific research, I thought some of you
might be interested in my report of the discussions at the event -
http://www.collectionslink.org.uk/blog/2030-bigculturaldata
Getting culture-sector data lined up behind the needs of the research
and business communities is pretty much at the heart of the next round
of EU funding programmes, and the Collections Trust is currently
participating in a project called DCH-RP (Digital Cultural Heritage
Roadmap for Preservation), which is bringing these communities together
to identify common solutions, standards, ontologies and methods. See
http://www.dch-rp.eu for information.
I hope this is a useful update. If the words 'Big Data' and 'Europe'
make you want to hurl yourself from a nearby window, this post might be
one to avoid...
All best,
Nick
