Digital heritage can mean many things, from building a database on
Egyptian textiles to interacting with family historians over
Facebook. However, it is rare to see professionals with a heritage
background working practically with the heritage datasets in their
charge. Many institutions who have the resources to do so, leave
this work to computer programmers, missing the opportunity to share
their knowledge and passion for heritage through innovative
technology. Open Heritage Data: An introduction to research,
publishing and programming with open data in the heritage sector
has been written for practitioners, researchers and students
working in the GLAM (Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums)
sector who do not have a computer science background, but who want
to work more confidently with heritage data. It combines current
research in open data with the author’s extensive experience in
coding and teaching coding to provide a step-by-step guide to
working actively with the increasing amounts of data available.
Coverage includes: • an introduction to open data as a next step
in heritage mediation • an overview of the laws most relevant to
open heritage data • an Open Heritage Data Model and examples of
how institutions publish heritage data • an exploration of use
and reuse of heritage data • tutorials on visualising and
combining heritage datasets and on using heritage data for
research. Featuring sample code, case examples from around the
world and step-by-step technical tutorials, this book will be a
valuable resource for anyone in the GLAM sector involved in, or who
wants to be involved in creating, publishing, using and reusing
open heritage data.
