Take part in the Swiss Open Cultural Data Hackathon!
Once a year, the OpenGLAM Working Group carries out the Swiss Open Cultural Data Hackathon by bringing together data suppliers, software developers, digital humanists, artists, Wikimedians, Wikipedians and many other interesting characters to experiment with unique cultural data.
The event explores exciting questions, such as:
- How can contents from cultural resources, collections, archives, museums and libraries be used in current research?
- What innovative web and mobile applications can be developed with those data?
- Can the content be used for Wikipedia or for artistic creations?
- Are there any other feasible applications for the data?
Join us in 2021 for the seventh Swiss Open Cultural Data Hackathon and apply your own skills to answer those questions, come up with original ideas and set new milestones together with other hackers.
