Part 2: Metrics
[edit]8a. Open and additional metrics data.
| Open Metrics | Description | Target | Results | Comments | Methodology |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| N/A | The participants of our projects learn different things from each other and from the activities. What are the learning outcomes, how well can the participants apply them in their work, and what new connections have been made. We will ask participants to identify the areas in which their understanding has increased and areas in which they recognize challenges. We pay special attention to the contacts they have made and the collaborations they have initiated. The insight is based on retrospective/focus group discussions. | 1 | N/A | N/A | N/A |
| N/A | We wish to gradually grow our Finnish network to include changemakers from different areas of the society to work together on the issues of open access to cultural heritage. We will identify and discuss our key goals at the beginning of the year and revisit the questions with a focus group at the end of the year. We expect our memberbase to grow by 5–15 people. We will quantify progress with the present key goals and the new perspectives identified. | 1 | N/A | N/A | N/A |

| Additional Metrics | Description | Target | Results | Comments | Methodology |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Number of editors that continue to participate/retained after activities | N/A | N/A | N/A | N/A | N/A |
| Number of organizers that continue to participate/retained after activities | N/A | N/A | N/A | N/A | N/A |
| Number of strategic partnerships that contribute to longer term growth, diversity and sustainability | We engage in several different partnerships where we work with different time scales and configurations. | 40 | N/A | N/A | N/A |
| Feedback from participants on effective strategies for attracting and retaining contributors | N/A | N/A | N/A | N/A | N/A |
| Diversity of participants brought in by grantees | N/A | N/A | N/A | N/A | N/A |
| Number of people reached through social media publications | Our Facebook and Twitter accounts for AvoinGLAM, Hack4OpenGLAM and Wikidocumentaries plus our newsletter add up to approximately 2000 followers. Depending if Hack4OpenGLAM happens, we can expect to have a higher number. | 2500 | N/A | N/A | N/A |
| Number of activities developed | This is our own tracking metric to see what amount of events we organize, including core meetings, meetups, workshops and webinars. | 29 | N/A | N/A | N/A |
| Number of volunteer hours | N/A | N/A | N/A | N/A | N/A |
8b. Additional core metrics data.
| Core metrics | Description | Target | Results | Comments | Methodology |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Number of participants | This includes the events mentioned as "events organized" and additionally a small number for the participation in the intangible heritage project. It will likely have many more participants when successful. | 427 | |||
| Number of editors | We have editors only in our collaboration projects, and the number of edits/editors is estimated to be low. The impact is more in the introduction and adoption of Wikimedia projects. The number includes translators of the pages we publish. | 140 | |||
| Number of organizers | This is an estimate of the number or organizers at events that we organize, not the ones we participate in. For intangible heritage, it is hard to evaluate. | 80 |
| Wikimedia Project | Description | Target | Results | Comments | Methodology |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wikipedia | There will only be Wikipedia contributions from the collaboration projects, which are defined later closer to the events. Intangible heritage project may produce much more edits. | 130 | N/A | N/A | N/A |
| Wikidata | There will be Wikidata edits from the working group collaboration as bibliographies and glossaries are added to Wikidata. Included are additions of ICH items and some data from the case studies, which may produce much more edits. | 1100 | N/A | N/A | N/A |
| Wikimedia Commons | The ICH project will produce many uploads, and at this stage it is not possible to commit to any numbers. Other activities will produce documentation materials. | 609 | N/A | N/A | N/A |
| N/A | Meta: The documentation of all projects, and the production of shared GLAM resources. Meta is not selectable! | 39 | N/A | N/A | N/A |
