Iniciativas em Portugal - crowdsourcing. Keynote: Crowdsourcing our cultural heritage, Nordiske Arkivdage 2015 - mia ridge. I was invited to give a keynote on ‘Crowdsourcing our cultural heritage’ at Nordiske Arkivdage 2015 (#NordiskArkiv), a triennial gathering of archivists from Finland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, the Faroe Islands, Greenland and Åland in Copenhagen on May 8, 2015.
I greatly enjoyed hearing about various crowdsourcing projects that state and city archives in those countries have worked on over the years (and would still love to hear more). My slides are below. Play to Cure: Genes in Space » EuroPAWS. Play to Cure: Genes in Space was developed by Guerilla Tea Games in collaboration with Cancer Research UK, and was released on iOS and Android.
The project is a world first, and a prime example of the power of video games. It showcases how video game design and technology can be used to get through massive cancer data bottlenecks and use the collective force of gamers for good. Play to Cure: Genes in Space is a game where simply by playing you are helping analyse gene microarray data and thereby contributing to the fight against cancer. Each gameplay round involves data analysis ‘under the surface’ of the gameplay, the results of which are collected and collated and finally used by scientists to assist in the understanding of genetic causes of cancer.

One of the most important exercises in the crowdsourcing workshops I run is the ‘speed dating’ session.
The idea is to spend some time looking at a bunch of crowdsourcing projects until you find a project you love. Finding a project you enjoy gives you a deeper insight into why other people participate in crowdsourcing, and will see you through the work required to get a crowdsourcing project going. I think making a personal connection like this helps reduce some of the cynicism I occasionally encounter about why people would volunteer their time to help cultural heritage collections. Trying lots of projects also gives you a much better sense of the types of barriers projects can accidentally put in the way of participation.

Update 6 Oct 2012 – I now have a web-based map up and running Did you know that Flickr Commons, home to some of the finest images from many of the best public collections in the world, currently has 181,247 images of which 17,456 (9.6%) 218,514 images of which 27,343 (12.5%) are geotagged?
(data updated 6 Oct 2012) In a review I wrote about websites and services for displaying vintage images on maps (and in mobile apps for that matter) I mentioned that there was no such thing, as far as I was aware, for displaying Flickr Commons images. Well, I felt I ought to fill that void, so I’ve spent a little time reminding myself how to write code, and learning a few new tricks along the way.
