1st Swiss Open Cultural Data Hackathon
The Hackathon will take place on 27 / 28 February 2015 at the Swiss National Library in Bern. You can get more information like the program and the practical details below.
You can now register to participate to the Hackathon. Be sure to register quickly because there is only a limited number of places available.
You will get the latest news on the Hackathon on the openGLAM.ch blog.
The thematic focus of the Hackathon will be on using cultural heritage data/content online for research purposes in Digital Humanities and related areas, as well as in the context of Wikipedia and Wikimedia. Participants are welcome to re-use the open data/open content provided for other purposes, such as the development of apps or artistic re-mixes. We particularly encourage the participation of software developers, researchers and domain experts interested in using cultural data, data providers, designers, and idea providers.
The Hackathon is also an excellent means for heritage institutions to enter into dialogue with software developers, researchers, and Wikipedians, in order to put their data and digitized collections to wider free use.
