6th Swiss Open Cultural Data Hackathon - Online Edition

The 2020 Edition of the Swiss Open Cultural Data Hackathon will take place on 5-6 June as an ONLINE hackathon. This edition is virtually hosted by the Swiss Institute for Information Science at the FHGR Chur, in collaboration with the Institute for Multimedia Production. The focus of the GLAMhack will lie on Linked Open Data, Machine Learning, Human-Computer-Interaction and Crowdsourcing. Once again, we are happy to collaborate with Wikimedia CH, infoclio.ch and other members of the Friends of OpenGLAM Network.

REGISTRATION is open. You can register here until 3 June. Please try to register as soon as possible to make it easier for the organizing committee.

Event flyer: you can download our event flyer to send it to your colleagues and friends. Spread the word!

The interlinking of cultural heritage data, the use of structured data as well as crowdsourcing and machine learning are becoming more and more institutionalised in the international GLAM community. This is why the focus of the 2020 and 2021 editions will lie on linked open data, machine learning, human-computer-interaction and crowdsourcing.

The hackathon will start with the group formation on Friday morning and end with a round of presentations on Saturday afternoon. A warm-up session will take place on the Thursday afternoon with workshops and guided tours. The detailed programme will be published in February.

The challenges are published on our challenge page, please feel free to register and create a challenge!

Here is a selection of new datasets for the GLAMhack 2020:

List of exhibitions with Swiss artists (since 1945)

This dataset contains an extensive list of art exhibitions from 1945 to 2020. It provides the title of the exhibition, the institution and dates, the names of the participating artists who are edited in the SIKART lexicon, the SIKART-IDs of the exhibitions and artists as well as direct links to the exhibition entries in www.sikart.ch.

Data: opendata.swiss


“The call of the mountains”

This dataset gathers images (paintings, photographs, postcards) of the mountain landscapes of Canton Graubünden. They illustrate the stories of the first alpinists, of adventure, success and defeats. They witness the development of Graubünden from the 1850’s to 2006.

Data: Due to copyright restrictions, the data will only be available in the context of the hackathon. We hope that using the data for a project will convince the new data provider to identify and publish open contents in the future.

“Children’s drawings”

This dataset gathers about 300 drawings, which were created by the pupils of a secondary school in Zurich between approx. 1900 and 1911. They show ornaments, plants, animals and architecture in pencil, watercolour or ink.

During the week before the Hackathon, we will organize an online pre-event in form of an information session and propose several input-presentations and workshops related to this year's themes. The links to the presentations will be sent to all GLAMhack attendees by e-mail. If you want to join the side-programme without registering to the GLAMhack, please contact valerie.hashimoto@openglam.ch.


Mini Pre-Event / Info Session

Thursday, 28 May 2020, 17:30 - 18:30
During this info session, we presented the challenges and datasets that have already been published. We explained the unfolding of the online Hackathon and presented the tools and platforms which you will be using.


Transkribus: Tutorial and Q & A

Watch the Transkribus tutorial by Tobias Hodel (10')

Transkribus (transkribus.eu) is an open software for handwritten text recognition. Developed within project READ (Recognition and Enrichment of Archival Documents), Transkribus uses deep learning to analyze page layouts and recognizes scripts. Furthermore, the software helps you compute the accuracy of the result and the training of new writing styles on demand. Transkribus is a so-called expert software. Due to its different aptitudes, it's not as intuitive to use as other algorithms. With a little bit of training and an interest in text recognition, everyone can learn to use the software in some hours.
For the GLAMhack 2020, the Digital Humanities of the University of Bern will provide a video tutorial, demonstrating the software's use and abilities.

Thursday, 4 June 2020, 15:00 - 17:00
Q & A Session – Transkribus
If you plan to use Transkribus and have questions about the workflow or if you feel like discussing deep learning for text recognition: join our Question and Answer session! The link will be sent to all GLAMhack attendees in advance. If you want to participate to the Q & A session without registering to the Hackathon, please contact valerie.hashimoto@openglam.ch.
You can bring up your questions beforehand via twitter, mention @thist_be, and we'll answer them in the Q&A session. The session will be recorded and made available online as well.

Workshop - Harmonizing Data Modelling Practices in the Performing Arts
The workshop is intended for representatives of performing arts archives and platforms as well as other people interested in harmonizing data modelling practices in the field of the performing arts at an international level. An overview of existing data models can be found here.

The objective of the workshop is to:
1. Provide an overview of existing data models, discuss similarities and differences, identify a common core (~90 minutes)
2. Discuss the question of how best to structure the harmonization process (~30 minutes)

Representatives of institutions with their own data will be asked to provide an overview of their current data model. The workshop will take place on Zoom. If you are planning to attend the workshop, please get in touch with Birk Weiberg (birk.weiberg@sapa.swiss).

Thursday, 4 June 2020, 17:00 - 19:00
Workshop – Wikidata & Performing Arts
The workshop is intended for practitioners interested in ingesting performing arts related data in Wikidata or in using data from Wikidata in their applications. For reference, see Wikidata Project "Performing Arts".

Tentative Agenda:
1. Round of table: Who has ingested / is planning to ingest what kind of data on Wikidata?
2. Round of table: Who has been using / is intending to use what kind of data from Wikidata?
3. What are the greatest challenges participants experience in the context of Wikidata? (brainstorming / clustering)
4. How are we planning to work together over the coming months?

The workshop will take place on Zoom. If you have any questions, please get in touch with Beat Estermann (beat.estermann@openglam.ch).

How should I imagine an online Hackathon?

The online Hackathon is very similar to a “real-life” event. We will be working with tools and platforms such as Webex and Slack to insure that the teams can collaborate efficiently. We will guide you through each step and do our best to insure that the social aspect of the GLAMhack does not get lost along the way.

How much does it cost to participate?

Participation in the GLAMhack is free thanks to our sponsors and partners.

Do I need a project idea or a team to participate?

No, it is possible to come with an idea or team, but not necessary. At the beginning of the hackathon different project ideas and challenges will be presented. You can work on the project idea that inspires you the most.

What if I have never been to a Hackathon?

Then it's about time!! Do not worry about not knowing anybody or not knowing how a Hackathon works. We will guide you through the whole process and make sure you have an awesome time!

What if I do not have any programming skills?

The Hackathon is not only aimed at developers or programmers, but also at curators, researchers, designers, digital humanists, artists, journalists, lateral thinkers…

What is the official language?

English! In the groups, feel free to adapt to your preferences.

What happens afterwards?

We aim to achieve a long-term and sustainable impact with the GLAMhack projects. We encourage the teams to further pursue their projects. The Hackathon results remain in the possession of the team.
