1st Swiss Open Cultural Data Hackathon

The next hackathon focuses on using cultural heritage data/content for research purposes in Digital Humanities and related areas, as well as in the context of Wikipedia/Wikimedia. Participants are welcome to re-use open data/open content for other purposes, such as apps and artistic re-mixes. The hackathon is also an excellent means for heritage institutions to enter into dialogue with software developers, researchers, Wikipedians, and put cultural data and digitized collections to wider use.

The Hackathon will take place on 27 / 28 February 2015 at the Swiss National Library in Bern. Please register to participate to the Hackathon. Be sure to do so quickly due to limited places available.

In order to be successful, the event needs you to share your programming skills, your data or most importantly, your ideas!

Come and experience the Hackathon!

First of all, join us on the 27 and 28 February for two days of fun, innovation and digital brainstorming. 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 Swiss cultural data and international patrimonial institutions published under open licenses:

You can help by sharing cultural data

You may own yourself cultural data that you are ready to share. Please look at these infosheet (German / French) on how to share data. If you have further questions, please feel free to contact 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 links to interesting data. We encourage you to contribute to it by adding new items.

You can already bring in ideas about ways to use cultural data. Feel free to take part to an ongoing brainstorming on this page.
