Open Cultural Data Hackathon 2015 Program | Get involved | Swiss Cultural Data | Cultural Data Worldwide

====== 1st Swiss Open Cultural Data Hackathon ====== The First Swiss Open Cultural Data Hackathon took place on **27 / 28 February 2015 at the Swiss National Library** in Bern (see [[http://glam.opendata.ch/glamhack-presentations/|full program]]). Some 100 software developers, artists, researchers, and members of the heritage sector gathered to re-use more than 30 open data sets. The data and content provided by over 20 different institutions was re-used for research purposes in Digital Humanities and related areas, in the context of Wikipedia/Wikimedia, as well as for other purposes, such as apps and artistic re-mixes. The hackathon was also an excellent means for heritage institutions to enter into dialogue with software developers, researchers, Wikipedians, and to put cultural data and digitized collections to wider use. ===== Projects ===== * [[project:alain_und_laura_sind_neue_medien|Alain und Laura sind neue Medien]] a poetic journey * [[project:ancestors|Ancestors on Wikidata]] automatic visualisation of family trees * [[project:artmap|Artmap]] puts art.. on a map * [[project:catexport|catexport]] tool for working with Wikimedia data * [[project:cultural_radio|Cultural Music Radio]] geolocalised mobile app * [[project:diplomatic_documents_and_swiss_newspapers_in_1914|Diplomatic Documents and Swiss Newspapers in 1914]] interlinked & searchable * [[project:flying_Eduardo|flying Eduardo]] building a universal template for web apps with “Points of Interest” * [[project:graphing_the_stateless|Graphing the Stateless People in Carl Durheim's Photos]] to reconstruct relationships * [[project:historical_card_game|Historical Tarot Freecell]] play online with ancient cards * [[project:historical_views_of_zurich_data_upload|Historical Views of Zurich Data Upload]] into Wikimedia Commons * [[project:lausanne_photo_quiz|Lausanne Historic GeoGuesser]] game with historic photos and modern maps * [[project:oldmaps|Oldmaps online]] republishing historical Swiss maps * [[project:openglam_inventory|OpenGLAM Inventory]] database of heritage institutions * [[project:picturethis|Picture This]] connected frame with historic images * [[project:portrait_domain|Portrait Domain]] alternate identity social media platform * [[project:publicdomaingame|Public Domain Game]] with Web-linked cards * [[project:schweizer_kleinmeister:an_unexpected_journey|Schweizer Kleinmeister: An Unexpected Journey]] immersive 3D-visualisation * [[project:spock_monroe_art_brut|Spock Monroe Art Brut]] photo mosaic and tribute * [[project:swissgamesshowcase|Swiss Games Showcase]] from a database of the computer game scene * [[project:the-endless-story|The Endless Story]] computer generated narration * [[project:thematizer|Thematizer]] enriching cultural information online * [[project:monument_lists|WikiProject "Cultural heritage"]] Swiss monuments in Wikidata * [[project:viisoo|ViiSoo]] water visualisation and sonification remix * [[project:zuerich_1799|Zürich 1799]] published to Wikipedia and Commons Also see full list of [[http://make.opendata.ch/wiki/tag:glam?do=showtag&tag=glam|projects tagged 'glam']]. ===== Coverage ===== You can get an impression of the hackathon through photos in [[http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Swiss_Open_Cultural_Data_Hackathon_2015|Wikimedia Commons]] or via Twitter hashtag [[https://twitter.com/search?f=realtime&q=%23glamhack&src=typd|#GLAMhack]].

It is great if you are a programmer and you are ready to help with your skills, but we are also looking for non-hacking people such as patrimonial specialists or researchers in digital humanities. **You can already bring in ideas about ways to use cultural data** Have a look at the [[data:glam_CH|Swiss cultural data]] and [[data:glam|international patrimonial]] institutions published under open licenses: * [[data:glam_CH|Swiss Data Sources]] * [[data:glam|Open Cultural Data (Worldwide)]] **You can help by sharing cultural data** You may own yourself cultural data that you are ready to share. Please look at these infosheet ([[http://glam.opendata.ch/files/2014/01/Anleitung-f%C3%BCr-die-Bereitstellung-von-Daten_v1.pdf|German]] / [[http://glam.opendata.ch/files/2014/01/Instructions-mise-%C3%A0-disposition-de-donn%C3%A9es_v1.pdf|French]]) on how to share data. If you have further questions, please feel free to contact [[mailto:beat.estermann@openglam.ch|beat.estermann@openglam.ch]]. **Share your discoveries of unspotted cultural data** Maybe you are aware of interesting cultural data. In preparation for the hackathon we are putting together a list of such datasets [[data:glam|links to interesting data]]. We encourage you to contribute to it by adding new items. **Share Project Ideas** You can already bring in ideas about ways to use cultural data. Feel free to take part to an ongoing brainstorming on [[https://docs.google.com/document/d/1XjL97LddBRKYBlyJTqOfFG0wH9YYgc9K6waJ172nTe8|this page]]. ===== Organizers===== The event is organized by the [[http://glam.opendata.ch|OpenGLAM CH Working Group]], with contributions from: ^ Organization Committee ^^ |[[https://www.wikimedia.ch/|Wikimedia Switzerland]]|| | |Patrick Borer | | |Emmanuel Engelhart | | |Micha L.
