Session Proposal: e-book development + production workflow

Hello, all. This is my first time attending THATCamp, so I don’t know if I’m doing things right. I am a book editor at Getty Publications and would love to learn about workflows in e-book production, specifically for heavily illustrated art books. Is there anyone there who would be interested in leading such a session? Or, is there enough interest in the topic that we could form a sort of research group and contribute knowledge from different sources? Thanks, Beatrice

Linked data for cultural heritage metadata

Hi all,

Would love to brainstorm how to implement linked data on a variety of cultural heritage institutional metadata. We’ve been working on a project about artist books and enhancing with Getty LOD vocabs and would love to get a feel for how or if others are thinking about how to enhance their legacy data to be more usable for others. Some thoughts about what would be discussed:

  • What to do with legacy data – what forms it takes, what is best for the objects and what is best for interoperability?
  • Identifying relevant tools for cleaning and enhancing data, such as OpenRefine, Heidelberg tool?
  • Relevant team members for such a project, including domain expert and metadata and systems experts – how to communicate effectively across multiple expertise backgrounds
  • Balancing over- or underenhancement, particularly for works of art
  • What are some ways to visualize connections and relationships between creators and artifacts?
  • How can we ensure that a project is sustainable?
