I have just submitted my PhD Thesis! 🙂 Examination/Defence scheduled on November 18th. #PhDsubmitted #culturalheritage #loud #iiif #LinkedArt #YaleLUX

The book chapter I wrote with @azaroth42 has been published: https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-57675-1_4

It examines the potential of interoperability and standardised data for cultural heritage resources.

Highlights:
- Advances by the International Image Interoperability Framework (IIIF) for image-based resources.
- The role of Linked Art in facilitating the integration and sharing of semantic cultural heritage data.
- A practical case study with LUX, the Yale Collections Discovery platform, showcasing linked data at scale.

It is "papers' season"! With @azaroth42, we published a preprint, currently under peer review for potential inclusion in the book "Decoding Cultural Heritage: a critical dissection and taxonomy of human creativity through digital tools".

It's called "Analysis of the Usability of Automatically Enriched Cultural Heritage Data" and we talk about the potential of interoperability and standardised data publication for cultural heritage resources, namely focusing (you guess it) on #IIIF, #LinkedArt, #LOUD and LUX, Yale Collections Discovery platform.

Yale Launches LUX, A Powerful New Search Tool For Cross-Collection Exploration

From the Yale Library: LUX: Collection Discovery—a new cross-collection search tool—provides users worldwide with online access to more than 17 million items within Yale University’s museums, libraries, and archives. “The LUX project is an incredible way to bring together the diverse collections across the cultural heritage units at Yale,” said Barbara Rockenbach, Stephen F. Gates […]

In addition to the technology (which is cool) the #YaleLUX creators aim to thoughtfully engage their searchers by explaining what’s in the system, its possibilities, and its limitations, including bias in human descriptions. This is a key educational goal more of us should aspire to meet. Critical searchers can balance both imperfect technology and imperfect human-created descriptions. Engaging in this way makes the tool better!
Amazing fulfillment of the promise of linked data to leverage centuries of metadata expertise across collecting traditions. #YaleLUX - lux.collections.yale.edu/ encourages interrogating collections across disciplines to create new knowledge. Inspiring work @azaroth42 and team!
I'm happy to answer any questions or take any feedback about #YaleLUX here, or via any other channel :)
I am excited and very proud to announce the official launch of #YaleLUX - https://lux.collections.yale.edu/ - our knowledge graph based cross-collection discovery and research platform. Openly and freely available, it gives easy access to exploring our wealth of cultural and natural history collections across multiple museums, libraries and archives. It builds on the work of #IIIF and linked.art to turn rhetoric and vision into reality.
