Open Data and Open Access in the Area of the Performing Arts[edit]

Abstract Over the past five years, there has been an increasing interest among stakeholders of the performing arts to implement open data strategies and to collaborate around shared data ecosystems. Some of the key focal points of these multilateral efforts are:

After a short introduction to the topic, two Swiss players who are part of this emerging data ecosystem present their perspective on the topic and the current activities at their respective institutions:

  • The Swiss Archive of the Performing Arts (SAPA) have published large parts of their production database and online catalogue in the form of Linked Open Data and are currently pursuing a Wikidata-oriented strategy when it comes to data publication.
  • The Zurich-based Theater Winkelwiese is planning to ingest data from their database about dramatic arts ("Zentrum für Dramatik") into Wikidata in order to facilitate interlinking with the data from the Swiss Archive of the Performing Arts (SAPA). Furthermore, it is adapting its internal processes in order to be able to publish photographs of its future productions under a free copyright license.

In the second part of the webinar, we invite the participants to share their challenges and burning issues when it comes to data sharing in the field of the performing arts. Approaching the topic from different perspectives (artists, theatre managers, representatives of heritage institutions, researchers) we will try to identify common ground and suggest meaningful ways of actively contributing to the emergent data ecosystem for the performing arts.

Goals
  • The participants get an overview of current initiatives promoting open data / open access in the performing arts.
  • The participants learn about the practical challenges related to the implementation of an open data / open access strategy both at a heritage institution and at a theatre company.
  • The participants get a chance to directly interact with the “first movers” in this area in Switzerland and to share their own perspective on the topic.
  • The participants learn how they can actively contribute to the emerging data ecosystem for the performing arts.
