Civic Epistemologies celebrates its Final Conference!

"Digital Heritage and Innovation, Engagement and Identity", Berlin 12-13 November 2015: registration open!

The event, being held on 12-13 November 2015 at the Hamburger Bahnhof – Museum für Gegenwart, is organised by Stiftung Preussischer Kulturbesitz in the frame of the CIVIC EPISTEMOLOGIES project. LIBIS, together with CS Digital (Faculty of Humanities) are partner in the project and will be present in Berlin.  

The project is ending in November 2015 with the delivery of a Roadmap that indicates a set of steps recommended to digital cultural heritage and digital humanities researchers, e-Infrastructure providers, cultural managers, artists and citizen associations in order to make progress in developing the relationship between cultural heritage and the society. The Berlin conference will be the occasion to review the content of the Roadmap together with the participating stakeholders. LIBIS and CS Digital where responsible for drafting the Strategic Research Agenda and a report on learning resources, including an IPR guide for interaction with citizens in cultural heritage research projects which will be included in the final version of the Roadmap.

Key-note speakers, EC representatives, and project experts will debate the following main topics:
1) the Information Age is producing a big change that is impacting cultural institutions, artists, their practices, the way that heritage is preserved, accessed and made available on the Internet;
2) the participation of citizens in digitisation activities and co-creation experiences, including the artistic dimension, represents a big potential that is demanding to be unlocked.

22th of october 2015: LIBIS Seminar on the Duraark project and its research data

Seminar:
Michelle Lindlar from the European project DURAARK will present the projects best practice research results on the structuring of architectural 3D data to facilitate the interpretation and interoperability with similar data resources and its curation and long-term preservation for research.
The presentation relates to: standards for architectural 3D data, long-term preservation of research data, and data interoperability. During this session LIBIS and the Digital Lab of KU Leuven will also present their services for researchers. This seminar is offered by LIBIS.  The language of this seminar is English.

Abstract: 
While the majority of data associated with a building is created during the design-to-construction phase, this data is later queried and extended by building owners and facility managers while the building is "in-use". Furthermore, even past the actual lifecycle of a building its data may remain of interest to research and cultural heritage. With the present day planning-to-construction process being a predominantly digital one, long-term availability and interpretability of architectural 3D data requires robust curation and preservation processes. The DURAARK project (2013-2016) is currently developing methods and tools to support this need. Michelle Lindlar is a digital preservation analyst at TIB – the German National Library of Science and Technology. Her main research interest is the alignment of technical and organizational processes and methods for the long-term usability and interpretability of technical information with a focus on complex objects. Within the DURAARK project she leads the Digital Preservation work package.  The emphasis will be on practical applicability.

Workshop on innovation policies for Cultural Heritage Institutions [Budapest, 10 July 2015]

The European project CIVIC EPISTEMOLOGIES is organising a second workshop on Citizen Science in Budapest, 10th of July. KU Leuven was host to the first workshop that presented a first draft of the 'Roadmap for broadening e-Infrastructure deployment to support citizen researchers in digital culture'.

Using the valuable input received during and after the Leuven workshop, a second version of the Roadmap has just been released. This will be the basis for the discussion that we will continue to carry out with our community, both online and in the occasion of the new Workshop in Budapest on 10 July 2015.

You can download and provide input on the Roadmap on the website: http://www.civic-epistemologies.eu/outcomes/roadmap/ 

During the Budapest Workshop both project represenatives and external experts are invited to present interesting cases on Citizen science projects, infrastructure and policy. Roxanne Wyns from LIBIS, KU Leuven will present as keynote some successful examples of citizen science projects.
