      |

During the hackathon, participants had the possibility to attend several workshops aimed at the transmission of skills and know-how related to the (re-)use of heritage data. 

**Friday, 15 September**
| **14:30 - 15:20** | <html><b>School of Data</b><br/><i>Oleg Lavrovsky, School of Data</i><br/>Data, data, everywhere! And yet... When is the last time data made a difference in your life? Have you taken the time today to think through the implications of all this machine-usable information to your self-confidence, critical faculties and overall success as a human being? When has art last inspired you to get creative with Taylor Swift? Together with the global School of Data network, we are putting together keyboards and brains to spread the idea of data literacy, to work for better data, to have more fun at hackathons! Join us for a round of Advanced Data & Dragons that aims to help you become more Adventurous, Benign and Correlational in your projects.</html> |
| **15:30 - 16:20** | <html><b><a href="http://make.opendata.ch/wiki/_media/glam:oral_presentation_short.pdf">Citation Indexes and Bibliometrics</a></b><br/><i>Giovanni Colavizza, Digital Humanities Lab, EPFL</i><br/>
Citation indexes are an important component in scientific research. Tools like Google Scholar help researchers find literature, and data from citation indexes such as the Web of Science and Scopus are increasingly used for the evaluation of research impact. We will introduce the topic by discussing the history and objectives of the discipline of bibliometrics, and the current players in the citation index business. We will then discuss (and experiment with) two more recent developments: the efforts to make citation data openly available (<a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiCite">WikiCite</a>, <a href="http://opencitations.net/">Open Citations</a>) and examples of projects which indexed the humanities literature (<a href="http://dhlab.epfl.ch/page-127959-en.html">Linked Books</a>), currently poorly covered by commercial citation indexes. If time allows, we will experiment with the analysis of a citation network using Gephi.</html> |
| **16:30 - 17:20** | <html><b>Wikidata Tutorial</b><br/><i>Sandra Fauconnier, Wikimedia Foundation</i><br/>A 50 minutes Wikidata tutorial to get you up to speed with editing Wikidata, and basic querying with Wikidata’s SPARQL engine. Participants are expected to already have a basic understanding of what Wikidata is, for instance by reading the <a href="https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Introduction">Wikidata introduction</a> and by exploring Wikidata items a bit.</html> |
| **17:30 - 18:20** | <html><b>Wikidata Query Service Tutorial</b><br/><i>Lucas Werkmeister, Wikimedia Deutschland</i><br/>A 50 minutes tutorial going into more detail on the <a href="https://query.wikidata.org/">Wikidata Query Service</a>, the primary portal for advanced queries against Wikidata’s data. Participants will learn about the SPARQL query language and become familiar with Wikidata’s RDF export format.</html> |


**Saturday, 16 September**
| **10:30 - 11:20** | <html><b><a href="http://go.epfl.ch/aEq">Jupyter Notebooks : un puissant outil d'analyse de données, mais pas que.</a></b><br/><i>Jan Krause, EPFL Bibliothèque</i><br/>
Venez découvrir Jupyter:
<ul>
    <li>Langages supportés: plus de 50. Dont Python, R, Julia, Octave, Ruby, Scala.</li>
    <li>Traitement de données: nombreuses extensions disponibles, p.ex. Numpy (analyse numérique), Pandas (analyse statistique), Bokeh (représentation), Scikit Learn (machine learning).</li>
    <li>Interactivité: le code est interprété en live, des widgets permettent d’interagir avec vos applications</li>
    <li>Documentation et partage: texte riche (markdown), code et outputs sont réunis en un notebook. Un grand atout pour le partage, la réutilisation et la reproductibilité scientifique.</li>
    <li>Export: les notebooks sont exportables en divers formats: Présentation animée, Markdown, HTML, LaTeX, PDF entre autres.</li>
    <li>Open source et libre</li>
</ul>
</html> |
| **11:30 - 12:20** | <html><b>Linked Data On Speed (Introduction to Linked Open Data) and online LD archival metadata (project aLOD)</b><br/><i>Adrian Gschwend (Zazuko) & Frédéric Noyer (Docuteam GmbH)</i><br/>In this workshop we will see how the advent of the World Wide Web has led to an exponential growth of the Internet and what was needed to make it happen. On the way there we will discover that we can do the same thing with Linked Open Data. Towards the end we will swallow the red pill and dive into some SPARQL magic. Practical example will be demonstrated based on the project aLOD that aim to put RDF archival metadata coming from several swiss archives.</html> |
| **14:30 - 15:20** | <html><b>Ensuring the Sustainability of the Open Cultural Data Hackathon</b>
<br/><i>Beat Estermann, OpenGLAM CH; Michael Gasser, ETH Library</i>
<br/>Together with the workshop participants we would like to reflect on the future orientation of the Swiss Open Cultural Data Hackathon and on the development of the community around it. Apart from the continuous strive to improve the long-term impact of the hackathon, there are several recent developments that should be taken into account in our reflections:
<ul>
<li>
Raising the necessary funds for the national hackathon has become increasingly difficult and resource intensive. As a consequence, we have decided to launch a <a href="https://glam.opendata.ch/friends-of-openglam/">Friends of OpenGLAM Network</a> that should help secure the long term financial support of the event through regular contributions from data providers and other interested parties.
</li>
<li>
This year we have seen the emergence of locally organized cultural data hackathons, like the Zurich Archival Hackday or the Geneva Library hackathon – a development we strongly welcome, but which also raises the question of how to articulate local/regional and national events in the future.
</li>
<li>
Hackathons provide an excellent basis to create and develop prototypes of innovative solutions based on the data sets available. What would it take to build on these initial results and develop them into sustainable applications beyond the limited time frame of a hackathon?
</li>
<li>
In cooperation with the Swiss Federal Archives, which runs the open data project of the Swiss Confederation, we have started to integrate our list of open datasets into the <a href="https://opendata.swiss/en/dataset?q=glam">http://opendata.swiss</a> portal. This is a step towards the consolidation of our activities. Improvements to the portal from the view of the OpenGLAM community and further steps to make use of synergies may follow.
</li>
<li>
Next year's hackathon will be hosted by the Swiss National Museum. This is a good occasion to intensify our efforts of reaching out to museums and to think about how to cooperate with other organizations working at the intersection of museums, data, and co-creation, such as <a href="http://www.museomix.org/localisation/lausanne/">Museomix</a>. 
</li>
</ul>
</html>|
| **15:30 - 16:20** | <html><b>Historical Statistics of Switzerland 2.0</b><br/><i>Matthieu Leimgruber, University of Zurich; Dominique Feyer, TTREE Lausanne </i><br/>
This session will present the ongoing revision of the <a href="http://www.fsw.uzh.ch/histstat/main.php">Historical Statistics of Switzerland Online</a>. We will briefly recount the shaping of this dataset, resulting from decades of research and data collection at the University of Zurich and first published in an analog form before being transferred online. We will also present the challenges encountered during the overhaul of the HSSO dataset and in the attempt of making it more user-friendly. Feedback from participants on the current revision and proposals for the future development of the dataset will be at the center of this session.
