BOOK A PLACE: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/tanc-discovery-project-webinar-heritage-data-practices-decentralisation-tickets-828601949737
This Towards a National Collection (TaNC) webinar will focus on navigating responsible data practices and decentralization in digital cultural heritage, bringing together researchers from two of our Discovery Projects, The Congruence Engine and The Sloane Lab.
• Foteini Valeonti, University College London: Decentralising digital humanities
• Anna-Maria Sichani, University of London: From collections-as-data to responsible data: data documentation and ethics in digital cultural heritage
The webinar will begin with Foteini Valeonti, discussing a synthesis of web3-related technologies for digital humanities infrastructures, exploring opportunities of decentralisation and open access data storage, as well as associated risks and challenges. Anna-Maria Sichani will talk about data-related infrastructure requirements in cultural heritage institutions, exploring data-specific issues, from legacy and inconsistent datasets’ descriptions, resistance to standardisation to hidden bias and positionality in various data-related processes.
