The flight over the "Rosinenbomber" - drone deployment for Free Knowledge; Kicking off a German-language community of practice for building cultural heritage linked open data with the wikimedia projects
Co-operation with the Stiftung Deutsches Technikmuseum Berlin
As part of a co-operation with the Stiftung Deutsches Technikmuseum Berlin, some great photos were taken of the Rosinenbomber at the Technikmuseum. Also photos of the museum and its outdoor facilities. For the first time, drone shots were also taken inside the museum building. The photos taken there in the museum's shed will also be published and available on Wikimedia Commons.
A blog post about the project has also been published (in German). More photos in the corresponding category on Wikimedia Commons.
Kicking off a German-language community of practice for building cultural heritage linked open data with the wikimedia projects
Over recent years we have been observing the growth of use of wikidata and wikibase in the cultural heritage sector, including even the emergence of several clusters of professionals in different institutions and projects starting to collaborate and organise around use of the wikimedia projects to build linked open data on cultural heritage. We’ve been wondering what might be possible if we could synergise these efforts. So, on June 14th we welcomed around 40 German-speaking cultural heritage Wikidata/Wikibase enthusiasts to our hybrid event: Network meeting cultural heritage, linked open data and the Wikiverse. Our attendees were from cultural heritage fields like art history, archeology, provenance research, natural history, remembrance culture... and ranged from institutional staff, to researchers, to a few dedicated volunteers - all with a shared interest in using the Wikimedia projects to build linked open cultural data. The goal was networking, and ultimately to kick off a German-language community of practice. We’re happy to report that the network is already about to hold its second monthly online meeting where it hopes to finalise a community name and make some plans for collaborative projects.
