UK Museums on the Web 2011

Annual gathering hosted by @ukmcg at Imperial War Museum on 25th November where web wranglers of museums and other curious digital folk hear and talk about what's happening in the heritage space. Bits, culture, data, meaning, of life / real life :)

    takeaway: #ukmw11 Openness. Open data and open source both of which were considered an alien concept not that long ago

    Reconciliation is where collection data gets really powerful - category names 'aren't text strings anymore, they're links' w meaning #ukmw11

    #ukmw11 Seth Van Hooland: you don't need a PhD in the Semantic Web to create linked data, we can all be metadata liberators!

    CC0 - best way to let people re-use your data because it removes all the complications. And IIRC you can still request attribution #ukmw11

    Loving the way the @I_W_M Centenary projects are applying technology to the content, not the other way around #ukmw11

    @I_W_M, @Luke_F_Smith and co: making real people out of what are currently just names on WW1 datasets. It's a wonderful concept. #ukmw11
