And here the right link to the Jisc and RLUK (then CURL) report I mentioned in previous post, rluk.ac.uk/wp-content/u...

Listening to the policy recs from the #TaNC programme zenodo.org/records/1383... reminded me of the Jisc Digitisation in the UK: the case for a UK framework report (early 2000s) zenodo.org/records/1383...: a lot has changed, a lot has stayed the same

I think the conclusion to the question "can or should you use machine learning to identify bias in collections?" was ... maybe. Best done very slowly and carefully. #unlockingcollections #TaNC

Stuart Hall's "Whose heritage?" still valid today says prof susan pui san lok talking about #TaNC Transforming Collections project, which @jisc.bsky.social Archives Hub's team also contributed to

What IIIF can do IS simply impressive, a plea from the IIIF panel to make its implementation quick, simple and fun especially for non-techies #TaNC

Some ludicrously inconsistent responses from UK museums about the copyright status of their, er, out of copyright collections douglasmccarthy.com/2024/11/anar... Maybe of relevance to attendees at today's #tnac conference @lornahughes.bsky.social Brilliant work by @culturedoug.bsky.social

#ohos #TaNC "The national collection is a metadata problem",Prof Lorna Hughes. Couldn't resist sharing!

At #TaNC conference, Prof Lorna Hughes acknowledges building on 30 yrs of innovation, mentioning, among others, @jisc.bsky.social large scale digitisation programmes

At @jisc.bsky.social we're working with HE libraries to support them in their digital transformation journey, you can read more on this blog by my colleague @pfin25.bsky.social digitisation.jiscinvolve.org/wp/2024/11/1...
