User-generated content, crowdsourcing and community engagement for cultural heritage
edit
Situation Positive Negative

By providing content online, GLAMs support a new engagement of their audience.

  • Professionals working in GLAMs want to preserve their control.
  • It is difficult to control content. And content is not certified by an expert.

  • User-generated content: people (not necessarily professionals or paid staff of institutions) produce content
  • Crowdsourcing: institutions receive the support of people who contribute to improve content.

The digital experience of museums
edit
Situation Positive Negative

Content of museums is more and more accessible online. The space and territory of museums is changing, it is acquiring new dimensions and it is providing new experiences to its audience.

  • Statistics about onsite visitors are central in the evaluation of management and of the performance of institutions.

  • Statistics about online visitors are very convincing.

Income from the "rights" of GLAMs
edit
Situation Positive Negative

Some institutions sell reproductions (images) of their collections. If they upload images on Wikimedia Commons they will limit or eliminate the possibility of selling images.

  • Selling images provides a income for the institutions.
  • A public institution can not renounce to a source of income (in particular if there is an economic crisis i.e. Greece).
  • Not selling is a decision which a public institution can not take because it depends on the government or it depends on previous agreements (i.e. outsourcing of the photo service).
  • There is a problem of clearing about who can take the decision of stopping selling the images and make them all available for free.

  • The fact that institutions sell images of their collections
    • is an argument against making digital content of the institution widely available
    • encourages institutions to upload and make available content
      • in low resolution
      • with restricted access (registration, online fee, offline)
  • The number of images sold and income is limited.
  • Selling images has also costs: the management of the service and the work of the staff
  • It would cost less to provide all images for free.
  • Free images will increase the visibility of content.
  • Institutions are selling images of content which is already under public domain.
  • An increasing number of institutions are providing images for free.
  • Uploading low resolution or small images might increase the selling of high resolution images; in reality the license apply to all resolution; the only reason someone might be interested in a higher resolution is because he/she does not have access to it.
  • The images uploaded on the Wikimedia projects can be made available under cc by-sa; the sa limit (share-alike) requires that who uses the image will release it with the same license: for commercial purposes companies might want to not have to share their derivative works under the same license cc by-sa.

Intangible cultural heritage
edit
Situation Positive Negative

The importance of preserving and valorizing intangible cultural heritage is more and more acknowledged by policies and law. Digital content can be considered as intangible cultural heritage, it can contribute to preserve and valorize intangible cultural heritage and it can contribute to preserve and valorize all cultural heritage (which digitally becomes intangible).

Issues emerging in discussing with GLAMs about their contribution to Wikipedia

You can not rely on Wikipedia (this is why it is not possible to quote Wikipedia in universities.

People can continue to modify articles. If we - experts - contribute to Wikipedia we need the articles to be blocked or to remain as they are.

  • Control

Papers related to the quality associated to the number of contributors (the more an article is edited the more it tends to be enriched and reviewed).

If we release content under the cc by-sa license we authorize other people to use the documentation without knowing it and without approving the use.
