The power of Open Data in the cultural field
The digitization of cultural heritage safe-guarded in archives, libraries, museums and galeries releases unexpected potential for use. Only by making this data publicly available, can their full potential unfold its full effect. This path into the digital future is full of challanges.
We invite you to actively co-shape the OpenGLAM movement (Galleries, Libraries, Archives & Museums) in Austria. Representatives from various institutions learn from each other, cooperate and gather to discuss current national developments regarding the accessibility of Open Data in order to support art and cultural institutions as well as public interest.
Keynote:
Jussi Nuorteva (Finnish National Archives) – The Power of Open Data in Archives (English)
Event language: German
Further details on the event will follow soon.
