;Curating the Digital Commons (20m)
:Sam Leon (Open Knowledge Foundation)
:In the past year the Open GLAM initiative, coordinated by the Open Knowledge Foundation, has been building communities, tools and resources for working with open cultural data and helping more cultural institutions to actively embrace openness. By far and away most successful Open GLAM project has been the Public Domain Review, an online journal for curated collections of curiosities from the digital public domain. In collaboration with GLAMWiki want to investigate how to encourage greater participation in this process of curating the digital commons, teaching people how to use existing portals into the public domain as means to enrich it and establish the infrastructure and standards that will allow a curatorial layer to flourish.''

===={{anchor|Fri-Jongma}} Lunchtime talk: The Rijksmuseum is Open ====
[[File:GLAM-Wiki 2013 - Lizzy Jongma.webm|thumb|Video of Lizzy Jongma's presentation]]
:'''Lizzy Jongma''' (data manager at the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam)

:Ten years ago the Rijksmuseum had to close its doors to the public for extensive renovation of its monumental building. The renovation took much longer than expected and only a small selection of Art from the Dutch Golden Age has been on display. An entire generation grew up without direct access to most of the Dutch national treasures.
:To show and share its art and knowledge the Rijksmuseum digitizes its collections in high resolution and shares its images and metadata as freely as possible. 250.000 object descriptions and 125.000 images (fully color managed, 300 dpi) are on display and downloadable at the website of the Rijksmuseum. Users of the Rijksmuseum can download, collect and (re-)use these images freely in Rijksstudio. And images and metadata are available for app builders with the Rijksmuseum API. The Rijksmuseum also shares its collections with Wikimedia Nederland, Europeana, Kennisnet (national education network) and specialized websites. 
:Lizzy Jongma will present the Rijksmuseum digital strategies and results of opening and sharing the collections in high res on a large scale. One day before the Rijksmuseum is reopened!

A look at ways to engage professional staff in working with Wikipedia, and disseminating those skills to others.

;Professional GLAM staffers on Wikipedia (20m)
:Axel Petterson (Wikimedia Sweden)
:Wikimedia Sweden has taught some 50 professional GLAM staffers, curators and experts, from most of the national museums of Sweden, how to edit, upload images and interact with the community. This presentation talks about what their impression is on working on Wikipedia and with Wikipedians as professional editors. It also looks at the inertia which will ensure the work will continue even though the initial project has ended.

Reports from scientifically-oriented collaborations.

;{{w|User:Daniel Mietchen/Talks/GLAM-WIKI 2013|Science GLAM}} (20m)
:Daniel Mietchen
:Science-related activities have so far taken a back seat within the GLAM:Wiki framework, but initial contacts with a number of science and natural history museums, botanical gardens, zoos, herbaria and similar institutions are encouraging. Building on a similar [[:wm2012:Submissions/Science GLAM|talk at Wikimania 2012]], this session is devoted to reporting on what has happened so far as much as to seeding a strategy for things to come.

;Project Phœbus (20m)
[[File:Projet Phoebus - GlamWiki UK 2013.pdf|thumb|right|Slides on Wikimedia Commons]]
:Jean-Frédéric Berthelot
:The ''Muséum de Toulouse'' is the Natural History Museum of the city of Toulouse, whose collections include more than 2.5 million objects. In 2010, as part of a partnership between the City and Wikimédia France, was started a project where Wikimedians have access to the backstages to take scientific pictures of the collections − Project Phœbus. Two years later, around 2,000 high-quality photographs (from the collections of botany, entomology, ichthyology, mineralogy, ornithology, prehistory and paleontology) have been uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, and largely reused throughout Wikimedia projects.
:The Phœbus project involves Wikimedians − amateurs − in a process of scientific popularisation and museum curation, through the development of Wikimedia Commons. This talk will highlight how opening collections online means reaching the other side of the world, and discuss how free licenses can be a driving force of knowledge transmission and scientific dissemination.

===={{anchor|F3C}} What are the risks? ====

A talk and discussion led by [[Board#Ashley_Van_Haeften_.28F.C3.A6.29|Ashley Van Haeften]] giving key, behind the scenes, practical insights in to how and why institutions such as archives, libraries and museums should partner with Wikimedia Commons to achieve their public access mission; a look at what the top six risks of such a collaboration are, and how they might be overcome or successfully mitigated.

===={{anchor|F3E}} New tools ====

Short presentations from three projects working on open content, maps and mapping in the cultural sector, followed by a panel discussion.

With presentations from:

*Kimberley Kowal (British Library) - Crowdsourced georeferencing in the British Library
::The British Library's [http://www.bl.uk/maps/index.html Georeferencer project] has been crowdsourcing location data to make a selection of its vast collections of maps fully searchable and viewable online. The results and level of activity have been remarkable - the third batch of 800 maps was completed by volunteers in three days.
*Susanna Ånäs (Wikimedia Finland) - Georeferencing and Wikimedia
::Wikimedia Finland has teamed up with a group of Finnish memory institutions for releasing historical maps to Wikimedia Commons. But there is a plan for more. First we are putting up an experimental georeferencing environment inside Wikimedia, and organizing georeferencing events. We are using and developing openly licensed tools. Second, we are looking into the realization of an environment for utilizing historical maps in Wikimedia. [http://fi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikiprojekti_Historialliset_kartat/In_english The project page] and [http://www.slideshare.net/susannaanas/glam-wiki-wikimaps the slides]
*Barbara Fischer (Wikimedia Deutschland) - Mapping archaeological data through Wikipedia
::Wikimedia Deutschland and the German Archeological Institute have been developing tools to help re-use archaeological data, matching map visualisations to Wikipedia articles. ([http://toolserver.org/~jkroll/limes/web/test.html example]) Please read our monthly newsletter for more [http://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/GLAM/Newsletter/March_2013/Contents/Germany_report information].

===={{anchor|S3E}} GLAM-Metrics: Measuring the Impact of Openness ====

:Led by Maarten Brinkerink

:Many (semi-)governmental organizations are openly publishing parts of their data and the topic is on the European Digital Agenda. However, the majority of cultural institutions have yet to pick up this new form of transparency and public access. Also, although measuring online success is gaining ground in the GLAM sector, specific tools for measuring the effects of opening up data are far and few between.
:In the Netherlands [http://www.opencultuurdata.nl Open Culture Data] helped make 35 datasets available under open licenses, altogether containing hundreds of thousands of records. As a result the initiative curated a network of tech-savvy cultural professionals that has made Open Culture Data into a mature distribution channel for cultural institutions.
:Now that many cultural datasets can be reused, a need arises to measure the effects of opening up. Open Culture Data is therefore developing a measurement model to gather evidence about the effects of open distribution. This workshop aims to provide attendees insight in the benefits and measurable results of opening up their data, with the aim of further refining the approach collaboratively.

===={{anchor|S4B}} Wikimedia for GLAMS - Workshop IV (Communities) ====
[[File:Finding the community.pdf|thumb|Slides on Wikimedia Commons]]
:Led by Andrew Gray and Sarah Stierch

An introductory workshop for cultural-sector professionals, looking at how best to work with online volunteer communities. What works? What doesn't? How do online volunteers differ from traditional volunteer groups?

[[:File:Finding the community.pdf|Finding the community on commons.wikimedia.org]]

===={{anchor|S4E}} GLAM-Wiki Europeana Toolset Workshop ====

In this workshop you'll get the chance to try out the [[:commons:Commons:GLAMToolset project|GLAMwiki mapping and upload tool]] yourself. The focus will be on the mapping of GLAM-metadata to the different templates used on Wikimedia Commons. If you're from a GLAM please bring along some sample metadata to the workshop!

There are two requirements for your metadata to work:
# The XML must be in a ''"flat-format"'' - no parent/child relations or attributes other than lang="lc", where lc is a [[:w:en:List of ISO 639-1 codes|two-letter ISO 639-1 code]]
# The XML must contain an element that contains a valid url link to a media file; see [http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:File_types accepted media formats on Wikimedia Commons].<br/>'''Note''': The url to the media file should not redirect to another url.

Since we're just practicing it would be better if you '''bring a small sample''' of a couple of dozen records rather than an XML-file of your entire 100 000 records or so! If you don't have any metadata to bring we'll have realistic samples for you to work with anyway. A two-record example is at [[GLAM-WIKI 2013/Europeana]].

Note that we will be working with our testing tool on Wikimedia Labs so content won't be upload to Wikimedia Commons for real, just in a realistic manner. We're hoping you'll join us and by doing so contribute to us developing as user-friendly and stable mapping and upload tool as possible.

===Sunday===
Until 16:30
Sunday is organised by THATCamp as a free [[GLAM-WIKI 2013/Hackathon|unconference and hackathon]], where the agenda and session topics are determined by attendees on the day. [http://london2013.thatcamp.org/ THATCamp London 2013] will be an unconference exploring the humanities and technology. '''We’re hoping to see lots of exciting creations and thoughts around free-licensing, open access and the interface between humanities and technology.'''

==== Lightning talks ====

A series of '''one-minute''' (timed!) presentations, pitches and appeals for collaborators. Anyone may give one (subject to the availability of slots)!

==== Unconference ====

The agenda and session topics will be determined by attendees, on the day. That may sound odd, but experience has shown it to be a really powerful way to learn, and share expertise!
