It's incredible to see such quick decline of what was meant to be a sturdy system and institution. Students should ask what will be the staff-student ratio in their courses. #Lancaster chng.it/fsXkgD5fQz

Patricia Diaz is pushing for novel regulations for the remuneration of authors, producers and artists in digital platforms. Mandatory remuneration should be on top of new regulations so they don't get trumped by them. #TaNC #TowardsANationalCollection #Copyright

Patricia Diaz showcases that many of the copyright & IP discussions have been happening for over 30 years, and these cascade to digital practices. Many of these risks can cause projects to fail before they even start, especially for AI. #TowardsANationalColleciton #ContextosDelSur #DatySoc #AI

Patricia Diaz presented a map of diverse licensing and regulations for datasets: flexibilidades.datysoc.org/mapa #ContextosDelSur #TowardsANationalCollection #GLAM #Copyright #Libraries

Patricia Diaz, explains the complexity of legality and licensing of specific media types in digital collections across the diverse countries in Latin America. They break down individual copyright laws, and help evaluate the monetary investments of evaluation and digitisation behind repos.

International GLAMLabs shares a checklist to identify how to generate #CollectionsAsData.

Gustavo candela indcates that for Collections as Data, FAIR and CARE principles are at the core of its principles and it applies for a wide range of multimodal items in digital collecitons. #TowardsANationalColleciton #GLAMLabs #CollectionsAsData

Gustavo Candela, is now sharing with us the diverse ways of interacting with GLAMLabs either online or physically. It showed us the role of thes labs in deployment of the diverse workflows for the sector. #TowardsANationalColleciton #ContextosDelSur #GLAMLabs

Alberto Pacheco from Mexicana Repositorio showcased how their approaches have enabled the production of 11 repositories from diverse institutions, totalling almost 300,000 new records. #ContextosDelSur #TaNC #TowardsANationalCollection #Mexico #DigitalCollections

Alberto Pacheco from the Mexican Secretary of Culture, shares with us that all catalogues and data from government digital collections are by default Open Data. We will share this webinar in english later in the TaNC Youtube Channel. #Mexico #DigitalCollections

🚀 Online Cultural Heritage as a Social Machine How do digital infrastructures shape cultural heritage? Our latest article explores how online cultural heritage functions as a dynamic ecosystem, shaped by technology, institutions, and human decisions. #DigitalHeritage #SocialMachines

Judith Enriquez showcased how language and naming within a beyond-human approach can enable improved knowledge sharing! #BIAZA

We just begun the BIAZA Online Symposium. @nicolakoyama.bsky.social Nicola Koyama, opening the space with an introduction of Knowledge Production and systemic structures in the Humanities, and the Sciences. @ljmuimpact.bsky.social

NEXT PROJECT: Visitor/ User experience for guide dogs! Tangible interfaces will be key for this! #AnimalUserInterfaces ‐----------------- Art is for all people! #DidYouDidThat the #Munal inclusion program offers guided tours and workshops that seek to bring art closer to people with disabilities.

My android is ready for London!

Next Friday, 28 February, we will be hosting a half-day symposium, 'Towards decolonial approaches in zoo interpretation'. This is part of a project led by Nicola Koyama in collaboration with Judith Enriquez and Lucrezia Maciocco from LJMU, and BIAZA. More info here: biaza.org.uk/events/detai...

Back when I was teaching Research Methods for second-year students, I embedded #Wikidata Query Service in #CanvasVLE module. This helped contextualise the knowledge behind #Wikipedia and #Wikimedia and demystify Wikidata, as well as its role in academic research.

Doesn't matter how much companies say they aim to 'adress' biases in LLMs. If data is white, male, middle age, Western, and from the global north, it's impossible to claim generative AI holds solutions for all. How would decolonial technologies look like if we dared to try?

Is this conference going to be an “I was there” moment in ten years? Enjoyable and somewhat cheering end of project conference for Towards a National Collection, featuring the formal launch of the ten project recommendations

Here is a small set of visualisation images showcasing the digital state of collections. [1] In the UK, over 50% of #digitalCollections accessible on the Web belong only to six institutions. Gosling, K., McKenna, G., & Cooper, A. (2022). Digital Collections Audit. Zenodo. doi.org/10.5281/zeno...

At the #TowardsANationalCollection training session with the #TowardsDigitalCollections we did an exercise defining terms related to digital practices. There is so much terminology and concepts we all need to agree on to build a sustainable digital future. #glam @nationalcollection.bsky.social

Great session with the #TowardsDigitalCollections training resources. Learned a lot about how to gain knowledge about your audiences and help inform your business case. #glam #museum @nationalcollection.bsky.social @exnihiloconsulting.bsky.social

Off to @sheffieldhallamuni.bsky.social for the #TowardsANationalCollection training program Towards Digital Collections in Sheffield. See you there! @nationalcollection.bsky.social #GLAM #CulturalHeritage #DigitalCulture #DigitalHumanities

Happy holidays.

(1/7) For a while we've been working on an ambitious problem: The National Archive of Mexico #AGN holds 58 linear km of documents. Only a drop of this ‘ocean’ has been studied due to many challenges. But great news: we are now unlocking this information! A thread 🧵 (1/8) #HTR #AI #CulturalHeritage

Just came back from a visit to Tec de Monterrey, campus Monterrey. They created a whole district for the university alongside the mountainous landscape. ... oh, and accommodation for the the university is not too bad either! #mexico #university

👏 The past 3 weeks with #TanC have been intense! We launched the TaNC Policy Recommendations & Training Materials, which I shared in Mexico to build partnerships. 🌄 In Mex, at Tec de Monterrey, I explored how their initiatives could benefit from UK-Mex collabs. tinyurl.com/27nfrt5t

From race, to decoloniality of being (colonialidad del ser). From transmodern to metamodern with diverse cosmovisions. #decolonize #decolonization

Fabulous talk by @josiefraser.bsky.social at today’s #MuseTech24 Conference, nice to see the #TaNC policy recommendations getting a mention, which are very much tied neatly with our #TowardsDigitalCollections training materials bit.ly/TaNC_Training
