    Katharine W. Ray. A Motivating Climate: An Exploratory Study of the DataRescue Movement. A Master’s Paper for the M.S. in L.S. degree. May, 2018. 58 pages. Advisor: Christopher A. Lee. This study explores motivations in the DataRescue movement of 2017 that led to the identification and archiving of at-risk federal environmental data in digital repositories. It describes interviews with three national DataRescue coordinators involved in Data Refuge and the Environmental Data and Governance Initiative (EDGI) and analyses of their organizations’ websites. Particularly, it looks at the impact of federal record-keeping laws on DataRescue and whether organizers considered the data’s eventual users. Motivations for these projects included determining the scope of at-risk federal environmental data, communicating and raising awareness of the risk, and creating a long-term plan for access to and preservation of data. Environmental data justice (EDJ) was a stated principle for the DataRescue movement, and organizers utilized storytelling to demonstrate environmental data’s impact on people’s lives. The existence of federal record-keeping laws impacted DataRescue events only insofar as participants saw the laws protecting data as inadequate. Headings: Environmental sciences -- Information services Records management laws Government websites End users (Information technology) Web archiving Environmentalism -- United States A MOTIVATING CLIMATE: AN EXPLORATORY STUDY OF THE DATARESCUE MOVEMENT by Katharine W.

  • Swiss Heritage Institutions in the Internet Era Results of a Pilot Survey on Open Data and Crowdsourcing
    Bern University of Applied Sciences E-Government Institute Swiss Heritage Institutions in the Internet Era Results of a pilot survey on open data and crowdsourcing | downloaded: 5.3.2020 Beat Estermann https://doi.org/10.24451/arbor.9503 source: Version 1.0 Bern, 26 July 2013 The text of the report and our own graphics are published under a “Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported” license. Picture on cover page: Swiss National Museum Zurich. Wikimedia Commons, Roland Fischer, Zurich, CC-BY-SA-3.0 Unported. Management Summary The rise of the internet in the 1990s and the innovations that have resulted from it have not left cultural heritage institutions unaffected. Libraries, archives and museums have since undergone several consecutive trends. This study focuses on two of them: open data and crowdsourcing. Both trends are a result of the increasing digitisation of cultural heritage-related material and the corresponding metadata. From the beginning of the new millennium, Europe’s cultural heritage institutions have coordinated their efforts to digitise cultural heritage-related material as comprehensively as possible. As a result, ‘single points of access’ in the form of inter-organisational catalogue systems and virtual libraries have developed alongside the increase in networking between institutions for the purpose of exchanging know-how and avoiding duplication. An additional trend towards greater interaction options during the second half of the first decade went hand in hand with the rise of the social web. This trend found expression in new forms of personalisation and the increased inclusion of users and visitors as ‘co-producers’. At the same time, the rise of Wikipedia, Flickr and similar community-based services has focussed attention on the potential for collaborative creation and compilation of information on the internet.

  • National Archives and Social Media David Ferriero
    National Archives and Social Media David Ferriero, Archivist of the United States ICA, Brisbane, 21 August 2012 Just a reminder: the hashtag for this session is #ICA_2012 The social media implications of the records of the U.S. Government caught my attention even before I became Archivist of the United States. In August of 2009 while I my nomination as Archivist of the United States was being vetted, I saw the job description posted by the White House for a social media archivist. And then in September while I was awaiting the scheduling of my confirmation hearing before Congress, I read in the press that the White House was seeking Request for Quotes for a “contractor to provide the necessary services to capture, store, extract to approved formats, and transfer content published by EOP (Executive Office of the President) on publicly-accessible web sites.” So, even before I began my work in November of that year, I was asking social media related questions about the records of the U.S. Government and the role of the National Archives. A little context about the role of the National Archives to put this in perspective. We are the nation’s record keeper responsible under two sets of Federal laws—the Federal Records Act and the Presidential Records Act—for the records of the 250 Executive Branch offices and departments and the records of the White House. Today that represents about 12b pieces of paper and 40m photographs and miles and miles of film and video and many terabytes of electronic records, the fastest growing part of the collection.
