How can cultural heritage institutions develop and provide access to collections that are more readily amenable to computational use? How does a movement toward thinking about collections as data prompt an opportunity to reframe, enrich, and/or contextualize collections in a manner that expands use while avoiding replication of bias inherent in collection practice? The Collections as Data project presents Shaping Humanities Data as a venue to explore these questions at Digital Humanities 2017.
Shaping Humanities Data features eleven talks and five demonstrations. Talks and demonstrations were solicited through a CFP and reviewed by an international program committee. The event also includes opportunities for discussion and workshopping Collections as Data frameworks. The workshop will inform the development of recommendations that aim to support cultural heritage collections as data efforts.
