Alex Chan: Hard problems in social media archiving. “Institutional archiving has different constraints to individual collections – institutions serve a much wider audience, so their decisions need consistency and boundaries. My own scrapbook is tiny and personal, and comparing it alongside institutional efforts really highlights the differences and difficulties. It’s why I usually call it a […]

在十九世紀的法國巴黎沙龍，曾有超過一萬兩千位藝術家的畫布與雕塑在展場裡爭相吸引目光，評論家與觀眾的筆記與讚嘆，曾經為他們留下短暫的榮耀。
然而，當我們回望今日的資料庫卻發現：在 Wikidata 上，這些名字並沒有同等的延續。在【Victims of Posterity. Identifying Gaps on 19th-Century French Art History with Wikidata】研究中，研究者發現女性藝術家的資料幾乎消失，她們的存在在數據裡只剩下微弱的痕跡；而那些在世時已經享有名聲的藝術家，則依舊被完整記錄，繼續佔據後世的舞台。更顯著的是，與「現代性」掛鉤的藝術家，往往成為資料裡的主角，彷彿十九世紀的藝術史仍被現代主義的框架牢牢掌控。
這樣的懸殊比例，讓人看見文化記憶的選擇性。誰被記住，誰被遺忘，並非偶然，而是制度、權力與敘事共同作用的結果。Wikidata 在這裡不只是冷冰冰的資料庫，而是一面鏡子，映照出歷史的偏差，提醒我們去思考：那些被忽略的名字，是否也值得重新被看見？
在研究中研究者反思從 Wikidata 作為資料庫，透過開放資料與結構化知識，我們或許能讓被遺忘的藝術家重新回到歷史的版圖，讓文化的記憶更完整、更公平。
Wikidata Taiwan 在與 #李梅樹紀念館 、 #新樂園藝術空間 以及 #攝影圖書室 等不同單位共同合作，持續推動臺灣藝術家資料收錄在 Wikidata 之中，目前已經收錄了超過一萬名臺灣藝術家的基礎資訊，我們在感謝社群的共同努力以外，也同時持續推動臺灣藝術家資料的收錄：因為我們知道目前的整理僅僅是臺灣資料鏈結開放的開端。

Lancaster University: Exploring the future of libraries through arts and technology research. “The new book by Dr Nathan Jones, from Lancaster University’s School of Arts, and Dr Sam Skinner (Oxford Brookes University) rethinks what a library might be in the future. Across essays, artworks, and conversations, BiblioTech traces how the next phase in the life of the library will reflect every […]

@tanketom the Brisbane Maritime museum is pretty awesome if you're into boats. It's downriver from the Southbank. You could also have a walk along kangaroo point cliffs. Brisbane is a great city for walking, running and cycling around. Not to mention the public transport...

@danielvanstrien has published his workshop slides on open source AI for #GLAM institutions
https://danielvanstrien.xyz/slides.html
I consider his readworthy contribution as the AI complement to my reflections on open data (and their shades) published here:

Mein Eindruck ist auch, dass #LOD / Wissensgraphen weiterhin wichtig sind im #GLAM / Cultural Heritage / Digital Humanities-Bereich. Gibt ja auch Dinge wie #Graph-#RAG, die solche Ressourcen nutzen. Und auch die #NFDI-Konsortien #4Culture und #4Memory setzen auf LOD. Wird halt nur derzeit stark von der #LLM / #genAI Diskussion überlagert.
Habe neulich die Aussage gehört, #linkedopendata gerade in #GLAM sei vorbei, mache man heute nicht mehr. Ist das eine Einzelmeinung oder kennt da jemand entsprechende Diskussionen und/oder Argumentationen?
