Finding, Accessing, Reusing : Art Making, Digital Curation and Real-World Value

Laura Molloy (University of Oxford, UK)

Art is strong economic asset - 2 billion pound a year
UK Art Market : different mechanisms and mindset. second biggest art market in the world
How the artist survive > profession increasingly under prossure. Oh surprise : artist are underpaid.
Side jobs necessary, mostly self-employed
The project :
-develop and guidance recommandation that
- support good practice in digital object seeking management and sissemination which will
-benefit visual art practictioners and
-support sustainable careers in visual arts
Approach :
- practitione-centered enquiry
- semi-structured interviews (quantitative data: 47 artists in the UK) > workflow for artists : which task is digital, what knowledge do they need to realise those tasks
- produces audio, textual and visual data 
+ workshops to make confortable with this methods
Sample :
- visual artists (not specifically digital art
- currently practicing in the UK
- other req. too fast to not them all
Definition of artforms, categories (eg. sculptures) + data format
Digital objects were created everyday, although no participants received RDm training from their art school.
The practices in backup are lacking, and yet there is distress of thinking of losing these DO.
Their knowledge was quite poor (auto-evulation) but they had an appetite for training
In this case, data skills are valuable

Experimenting with Citizen Scholarship 'Our Theatre Royal Nottingham : Its Stories, People and Heritage'

Laura Carletti - University of Oxford

Project still ongoing : "I'm not here to give a lesson today, but to receive your advice"
Performing venue (theatre), archival is not their main role, but they definitly do have an archive
Focus groups led to key themes that would be developped eventually. They had a funding, volunteers were engaged (mix of professionals and amateurs).
Theatre had an analogue archive not accessible to public + a small digital archive
Huge work on the analogue side =>  massive reorganisation
Digital side : creation of a web platform http://ourtheatreroyal.org/s/default/page/home
Final notes .
- involoving communities in a research-led process to co-curate local heritage
- citizen scholarship : engagement and training to contribute in arts and humanities research process

Emerging Roles for Optimising Re-Use of Open Government Data

Fanghui Xioo (University of Pittsburgh, USA)

Research sample :
- geographical  distribution / the city size / scale
- maturity : 2015 data center for one of the three / some of them are far more older
- familarity : some of them were well-known from the authors, some of them weren't
Raw data collected of official website => analysis, the raw data could be classified in 5 categories
- availability (make sure the data is open)
- understandability (should be easy to understood)
- User data Literacy Improvement (develop skills and training)
- Technical Help (creation of APIs)
- Social Engagement (interactivity : promote citizens participations in the social archive)
Results :
- what are the common issues of open government data center : engange citizens to use OGD / empowerment use of data / easier to find and uses => IMPROVING THE USE OF DATA
- what user services and supportive tasks are provided by open gov data centers  ... too fast => CREATE NEW SUPPORT SERVICE

Tiny Data : Building a Community of Practice auround Humanities Datasets

Veronica-Gaia Ikeshoji-Orlati (Vanderbilt University, USA)

How Faire Principles are integrated in Humanities Data ?
Tiny Data : "are at the core of traditional and contemporary hmanistic inquiry, reflecting scholars' crictical engagmenets with texts,  iamages, sound and performance."
Still work in progress
make the community self-sustaining : for instance create a "data champion" initiative for humanist
Tiny data documentation for humanists
Rethink what FAIR humanities data look like and the potential impact on humanities researchers's ideas of repdoucibility in their fields
Teach liaison librarians how to find, and encourage engangement with existing datasets
