This book is ideal for heritage practitioners, researchers, and students in the GLAM sector seeking to develop confidence and skills in working with open data. It particularly benefits those interested in bridging heritage knowledge with digital innovation, including educators and policy makers aiming to enhance heritage mediation through technology.

This book combines current research in open data practices in the heritage sector with technical step-by-step guides on how to work with heritage data for visualisation, mapping, and mining.

Description

Digital heritage can mean many things, from building a database on Egyptian textiles to interacting with family historians over Facebook. However, it is rare to see professionals with a heritage background working practically with the heritage datasets in their charge. Many institutions with the resources to do so often leave this work to computer programmers, missing the opportunity to share their knowledge and passion for heritage through innovative technology.

Open Heritage Data: An introduction to research, publishing and programming with open data in the heritage sector has been written for practitioners, researchers, and students working in the GLAM (Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums) sector who do not have a computer science background, but who want to work more confidently with heritage data. It combines current research in open data with the author’s extensive experience in coding and teaching coding to provide a step-by-step guide to working actively with the increasing amounts of data available.

Coverage includes:

An introduction to open data as a next step in heritage mediation
An overview of the laws most relevant to open heritage data
An Open Heritage Data Model and examples of how institutions publish heritage data
An exploration of use and reuse of heritage data
Tutorials on visualising and combining heritage datasets and on using heritage data for research

Featuring sample code, case examples from around the world, and step-by-step technical tutorials, this book will be a valuable resource for anyone in the GLAM sector involved in, or who wants to be involved in, creating, publishing, using, and reusing open heritage data.

About the Author

Henriette Roued-Cunliffe is an Associate Professor in Digital Humanities at the Department of Communication, University of Copenhagen. With a background in Archaeological Computing (MSc, University of Southampton) and a doctorate examining digital tools for the reading of historic texts (Ancient History, University of Oxford), her research experience is in the use of data and digital tools within heritage. Her coding experience comes from a combination of formal and autodidact learning, which she has adapted to teach digital heritage and data science in the Humanities. Alongside digital heritage, Henriette works to understand the information behaviour and online interaction of those groups who have a special interest in heritage (e.g. family historians, amateur archaeologists, community historians). She co-edited the volume Participatory Heritage (Facet 2017).
