Silk Memory
[edit]Summary of the case study and link
[edit]The Silk Memory project aims to provide access to 200 years of Zurich silk design by creating and maintaining a physical textile archive and building a textile database. In close cooperation with museum partners, teachers, students and practising designers, a representative selection of fabric samples from textile archives of the Zurich silk industry was collected, indexed and made available online. On the basis of this background the Silk Memory web portal has been developed. It aims to be a research tool for teaching, research and above all as a source of inspiration for contemporary design work. The user interface was developed by the Astrom/Zimmer design studio and in close cooperation with the Silk Memory project team.

Implementation of the case study
[edit]Improve Mapping Self-Organization in the Arts/History
The research project "OffOffOf. Swiss Cultural Policy and Self-Organization in the Arts since 1980" (SNF 2014 - 2019) produced a database on self-organised art initiatives in Switzerland. The database contains archival material and photographs of self-organised art initiatives as well as documents from policy makers. A selection of the database is publicly accessible via an online mapping that allows for temporal and geographical visualisation of the information. The materials from self-organised art initiatives are mainly from private archives and the documents from policy makers are publicly available. The documentation has also been published in a monographic publication.
- Website with the database https://selbstorganisation-in-der-kunst.ch/
- Publication in open access https://www.diaphanes.net/titel/unabhaengig-prekaer-professionell-7363

Case study of the project Open Science for arts, design and music
[edit]In the frame of the project "Open Science for arts design and music" a case study was created around this research project addressing issues about how to improve the permanent archiving and reuse of its documentation.
Self-organized Art Initiatives in Switzerland at the GLAMHack Luzern 2024
[edit]
The documentation of the research project was at the centre of the challenge "Self-organized Art Initiatives in Switzerland" presented and implemented during the GLAMHack Luzern 2024, the Swiss Open Cultural Data Hackathon (6-7 November 2024): https://hack.glam.opendata.ch/project/222. The challenge allowed to address the problems/questions identified by the case study and implemente a series of solutions. Worked on the challenge Birk Weiberg (created the challenge, uploaded data on GitHub, edited the data, made the uploads on Wikidata), Pablo Miller (co-directed the research project, provided background about the project, provided authorisations, provided data in collaboration with the web administrator, created to Zenodo community), Iolanda Pensa (made the Data Management Plan and the documentation of the case study, contributed to the clearing of the licenses, the analysis of the data, and the open strategy) and Omar Abdesslem (contributined to editing the data, visualization and uploading them on Wikidata) and with the contribution of Rita Gautschy (reviewed the data management plan and the documentation).

- Structuring the data and prepare them for the upload on Wikidata using OpenRefine.
- Uploaded data and information about the Wikidata upload.
- Producing a series of simple visualisations with the data.
Possible next steps after the GLAMHack
[edit]- Email to the practitioners promoting and managing artists initiatives to invite them to update the item related to their institution on Wikidata and upload some images of their spaces and artworks on Wikimedia Commons (general view of the spaces and only artworks of the uploader)
- Training to explain how to edit Wikidata and Wikimedia Commons (online presentation and/or workshop at the School of art and design in Luzern)
- Data about art spaces can be uploaded or checked also on OpenStreetMap and connected the the item on Wikidata
- The dataset can be made available also to other databases/websites/portals presenting information related to independent art spaces in Europe or around the world to integrate data related to Switzerland
- The Wikidata item related to the art initiatives can be included in the website of the research project
Improve Mapping Self-Organization in the Arts/DMP
The Data Management Plan was produced after the end of the research project to analyse the data produced by the research and to identify ways to improve its permanent archiving (use of repositories which can guarantee long term archiving and provide metadata, and presence of a DOI) and facilitate the reuse of its content (licenses, open and standard formats, uploads on Wikidata). The Data Management Plan also looked at the specific relevance of the content produced by the research, to highlight a selection of content which can be particularly important to disseminate and make accessible.

Where content has been stored
| Adventages | Disadventages | |
|---|---|---|
| Website | Design, visualisations | It doesn't guarantee permanent archiving
It doesn't have a DOI It is necessary and important to backup the data and make them available on other repositories |
| Oral History Archive | Owned by ETH.
Non profit repository managed by a large institution. It allows access to the sources and citation. Thematic archive. |
Content from the project uploaded to the Oral History Archive has not been released with an open license (but it can be viewed). |
| Zenodo | It is the repository used and recommended by the School of art and design of Luzern
It guarantees permanent archiving |
It is difficult to browse data on Zenodo
It is important to create a community on Zenodo to connect different articles, content to the project and find them more easily The community on Zenodo can be linked to the Wikidata item of the research project and can be added on the project website |
| GitHub | Useful repository for code and datasets
Very used by designers. |
Proprietary tools (owned by Microsoft)
During the GLAMHack we used a personal account; it would be better to use an institutional account Important to backup the data on Zenodo and generate a DOI |
| GitLab | Open non commercial tool
There is an account owned by the School of art and design of Luzern. Useful repository for code and datasets |
Difficult to access and use the institutional account
Important to backup the data on Zenodo and generate a DOI |
| Wikidata | Dissemination of data
Data can be updated by the communities (including owners of the art spaces and art initiatives). Data can be connected to other data (linked open data). Data from Switzerland can be visualised and analysed, combined with data from other countries. The research, its publication and dataset can be linked to the data as a source or reference. |
It is important to keep copy of the data produced by the research in an external platform which can guarantee permanent archiving and provide a DOI
Data on Wikidata can be erased and it is important to follow the rules of the online communities. Data about people can present specific challenges. Georeferenced data produced in Switzerland are not interoperable with Wikidata and OpenStreetMap, and they need to be converted. |
| Wikipedia | Content from the research can enrich articles related to art history in Switzerland, artist-run initiatives
The research can contribute to better define the terminology, to update the biography and to enrich data |
Not all art initiatives can have an article on Wikipedia.
Sometimes the terminology is not precise and it is not easy to change the name of an existing article. The are not many people active in the fields of art, art system and artists initiatives on Wikipedia; this makes it a bit more complicated to contribute and it is important to do it with proper sources and good quality contributions. |
| OpenStreetMap | Data about art spaces can be updated on OpenStreetMap
Data of OpenStreetMap can be connected to Wikidata |
Georeferenced data produced in Switzerland are not interoperable with Wikidata and OpenStreetMap, and they need to be converted. |

Advantages
- Clearing of licenses implemented through the data management plan
- The process of uploading data on Wikidata has produced more structured and cleaned data
- The data of the research project have been uploaded on Wikidata
- On Wikidata, accessing linked open data associated to the research data allows new analysis. Wikidata can contribute not only to the visibility and reuse of the data produced but also to the research.
Challenges
- Producing a website is challenging because it is difficult to guarantee the long term preservation of the website and its sustainability.
- It is difficult to access the institutional infrastructures and to use independently and rapidly the resources (i.e. GitLab of the institution)
- The publication presents the license with the line "Dieses Werk ist lizenziert unter einer Creative Commons Namensnennung 3.0 Schweiz Lizenz". It would be best to include the logo of the license, the international license 4.0, a link to the license and the sentence "unless differently stated".
- Geographic coordinates in the database need quite some editing because they do not follow the same standard of Wikidata or OpenStreetMap
Lessons learned
- Include the CC BY license in the research project (project proposal), and specify that data are released under CC0 (interoperable with Wikidata).
- Ask authors/institutions to provide images under CC BY license and/or CC BY-SA.
- Wikidata can be included in the research process to enrich the research data (with linked open data) and to allow different and new analysis

Video Essay: Futures of Audiovisual Research and Teaching
[edit]Summary of the case study and link
[edit]The project "Video Essay: Futures of Audiovisual Research and Teaching" investigates the potential of video essays and videographic practices as a new approach in hybrid academic teaching, as a new research apparatus and epistemological laboratory and as a new form of scientific publication in the digital age. Video essays use existing sounds, images, and film footage and transform them into audiovisual devices that reflect on their own function, production, and implications.
