GLAMHack2022

3–5 November 2022, 14:00 @ SUPSI, Campus Mendrisio (DACD), Via Flora Ruchat-Roncati 15, 6850 Mendrisio Map

Organised by Opendata.ch, University of Applied Sciences and Arts of Southern Switzerland (SUPSI)

The eighth Swiss Open Cultural Data Hackathon took place from 3 to 5 November 2022, for the first time in Italian-speaking Switzerland, at SUPSI in Mendrisio and its FabLab. 53 participants – 37 per cent women, a quarter designers – worked in ten teams with 47 new datasets from heritage institutions.

The focus was open data, performing arts and biodiversity: from a herbarium that reads its labels by image recognition and a jukebox from the Swiss National Sound Archives to a literary map of Ticino. It was preceded by a workshop on open science in arts, design and music the day before and by the workshop day on open natural history data in Bern in September.

  Challenge description

  Ein Plugin, das die Verbreitung überwiegend historischer Beobachtungen aus naturhistorischen Sammlungen mit den überwiegend heutigen Daten der Schweizer Biodiversitätsportale vergleichbar macht. Portale wie InfoSpecies veröffentlichen ihre georeferenzierten Daten in GBIF meist als 5-km-Raster, was den Abgleich mit punktgenauen historischen Fundangaben erschwert.

GLAMHack2022 Pre-Event

Workshop Day on Open/FAIR Natural History Data

On September 20th we’ll have a Workshop Day on Open/FAIR Natural History Data at the Natural History Museum in Bern.

The workshop day is intended for curators, managers, and users of natural history collections in Switzerland. It serves as a forum to draw up an overview of the current situation regarding data management and digitization in Swiss institutions and sets the collections and their data in the wider context of the emerging ecosystem of open/FAIR natural history data with its various infrastructures, stakeholders, initiatives, usage scenarios, value-added services, and governance structures.

The workshop day is a pre-event of the GLAMhack 2022, organized by the OpenGLAM working group of the Opendata.ch association, hosted by the Natural History Museum of Bern and supported by Plazi.org and the eBioDiv Project, in cooperation with SwissCollNet and Infofauna.

Date: Tuesday, 20 Sept. 2022

Time: 09:45 – 17:00

Place: Natural History Museum of Bern
