Welcome!
Introduction to the OpenGLAM Benchmark Survey Project
▶ Online survey conducted among heritage institutions throughout the world in the second half of 2014.
▶ Focusing on questions related to digitization, exchange of metadata, open data/open content, semantic web, social media, crowdsourcing
▶ Inspired by an earlier pilot survey, carried out in Switzerland in 2012
▶ Organized in a federative manner, which means that the organization depends on volunteers and partners in each country
What is the OpenGLAM Benchmark Survey about?
▶ Measure the state of advancement of OpenGLAM in the participating countries
▶ Inform the GLAM community about the latest developments in the area of OpenGLAM
▶ Identify potential partners for open data and/or crowdsourcing projects
▶ Use the study report as a communication instrument to promote OpenGLAM
▶ Use the study report as an instrument for lobbying activities in favour of OpenGLAM and the advancement of free knowledge
▶ Provide international comparisons:• Allowing each country to see where it stands compared to other
countries. • Provide the international OpenGLAM community with a tool that helps it
better understand the particularities of each country
What do we want to achieve?

The Netherlands
George Hendrik Breitner - De Singelbrug bij de Paleisstraat. Rijksmuseum (Public Domain)
▶ OpenCultuurData.nl▶ NL Wikimedia chapter has (payed) GLAMwiki coordinator▶ Largest provider of open images in Europeana▶ Number of international key players such as the Rijksmuseum,
Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision and the National Library▶ Open culture initiatives get some funding from the ministry of
culture▶ Very often one department very active, the other one not at all. ▶ Smaller and mid-size institutions getting more interest in opening
their collections, lots of questions about how to best do this
OpenGLAM in the Netherlands
▶ What do we want to get out of this survey?▶ Data! ▶ Mapping the sector▶ Encourage institutions to think about their digital strategy▶ Go beyond „The usual suspects“
▶ What we have done so far:▶ Help develop the survey questions▶ Pre-test with a number of institutions▶ People contacted very enthousiastic▶ Difficulty with getting contact details. Mostly our own networks
Implementing the OpenGLAM Survey in the Netherlands
▶ How to reach the people that are not in some way thinking about opening up their colllections already, should we?
▶ What to do if the museum associations etc. are not willing to share their contacts/the survey?
▶ What would be a minimum number of respondents to make it useful?
Questions
▶ The Finnish context:▶ Digitisation of cultural objects increased substantially after 2008:
The Ministry of Education and Culture’s discretionary funding▶ Finland still behind many European countries in terms of open
cultural data and related aspects of openness
▶ Open cultural data master course in 2014 by Open Knowledge Finland
▶ Local objectives for OpenGLAM Benchmark Survey▶ Help spread awareness of open culture and cultural data in general▶ Map the actual situation in relation to open cultural data & learn
what is needed▶ Compare the Finnish situation with those of other countries and
learn from good practices

India
▶ Wikimedia India chapter and WMF's India program worked together for India's first GLAM project
▶ Good traction of image contribution during the Wiki Loves Monument photo contest
▶ Mass communication and other media institutions slowly taking interst in open audio library
▶ OpenGLAM initiatives related to digitization could get support from the government as digitization is a priority across departments
▶ Majority of GLAM institutions lack knowledge about open culture, need for outreach
▶ Relicensing and book digitization have gained public interest
▶ What do we want to get out of this survey?▶ Data!▶ Mapping the sector▶ Encourage institutions to think about their digital strategy▶ Show institutions "what is there for them“
▶ What we have done so far:▶ Started filing Right to Information (RT) asking the state
government departments for lists of institutions▶ Reached out to WMIN seeking help for creating a list▶ Difficulty with getting people and contact details
Implementing the OpenGLAM Survey in India
▶ What to do if the museum associations etc. are not willing to share their contacts/the survey?
▶ What would be a minimum number of respondents to make it useful?
