Heritage Institutions Invited to Provide Data and Content for First Swiss Open Cultural Data Hackathon!

The OpenGLAM Working Group is calling on heritage institutions to provide data for the first Open Cultural Data Hackathon in Switzerland: All Swiss heritage institutions are invited to contribute data and content for our upcoming hackathon, which is taking place on 27/28 February 2015 on the premises of the Swiss National Library in Bern.

The hackathon is an excellent means for heritage institutions to enter into dialogue with software developers, researchers, and Wikipedians, in order to put their data and digitized collections to wider use.

Datasets from Swiss institutions are listed on the event wiki.
A preparatory meeting for data providers will be held in the afternoon of 23 January 2015 at the ETH Library in Zurich.
