- 32. - More IT profiles in the cultural heritage sector and less dependence on the providers - More freedom to play around and test things out - Better open infrastructures and tools that make better internal workflows and LOD possible: - Back office tools: Collection Management Systems, DAMs , Datahubs… - Publishing online tools: Resolvers, API’s... - Reusing: Wikimedia art viewers, apps... - etc... - Vocal and demanding audience: - (examples of) reuse - curating/enriching data Wishlist
- 33. - Datahub project fase 2 en 3 - Resolver-tool op Open Summer of Code 2018 - Wikimedia projects: - Public Domain publication - Publishing images and more structured data - Reusing in Wikipedia-articles and outside of the platform - Networked cultural data - survey on the current demand for cultural heritage data by various sectors Do you see yourself contributing to one of the projects or to the wishlist?
