This project focuses on supporting open GLAM participation from the ground up and through a grassroots campaign among smaller collections holders and smaller data aggregators. It does so by expanding The GLAM-E Lab's direct representation model to support new partners on aspects of navigating rights clearance, digitisation, online publication and data ingestion, while also developing and testing standards for publication to improve the identification and verification of these newly-opened datasets by smaller aggregators. All findings from this work will be reduced to a toolkit to help others build their own grassroots campaigns and local networks that can support open GLAM participation beyond the life of the project. Smaller collections holders are increasingly interested in building successful open access programmes that improve the visibility of their collections and explore the new business models that flow from greater public engagement. Popular platforms, like Wikimedia Commons, and data aggregators offer low-cost publication options that can improve visibility and engagement, but they also generate their own hurdles to open GLAM participation. Larger and well-resourced data aggregators with bespoke data models require higher levels expertise to prepare collections data for ingestion; meanwhile, smaller data aggregators that are a better fit for data published by less-well resourced organisations often view collections published to Wikimedia Commons as high-risk due to their inability to verify the rights status of the heritage datasets. The result is a huge missed opportunity for smaller organisations to publish collections as CC0 to Wikimedia Commons in a way that enables smaller aggregators and other actors to ingest data using Wikimedia's open API, thereby improving their findability, reusability and overall potential.The GLAM-E Lab will meet these challenges by working directly with smaller collections holders and aggregators in the US and UK to improve the cross-border landscape and digital infrastructures of open GLAM. Project activities will initially focus on the organisation of a grassroots campaign among less well-resourced organisations in the Devon and South West Area to support the standardisation and publication of CC0 digital collections and data to Wikimedia Commons and the South West Collections Explorer. At the same time, The Lab will collaborate with smaller aggregators to develop standardised procedures and policies for identifying and onboarding the digital collections of these and other smaller organisations. By the end of the project, The Lab will publish all new findings and processes in an open access toolkit to support others in developing their own localised open GLAM campaigns and support networks. The project's wider impact will be to expand public access to digitised public domain collections while improving the overall diversity of openly-licensed collections and data available for reuse online. The GLAM-E Lab brings together UK and US practitioners, academics, collections holders and data aggregators to model and test these new pathways, networks and infrastructures to more sustainable open GLAM participation. Through this new work, The Lab will explore and bridge the needs of smaller collections holders, platforms and data aggregators, leading to a diverse landscape of CC0 digital assets and data available for reuse by a diverse range of local and global audiences. The project will disseminate the research findings via the Lab's website, workshops, events and publications.

该项目着重于支持较小的收藏持有人和较小数据聚合器中的基层运动和基层运动。这样做是通过扩展Glam-E实验室的直接表示模型，以支持新合作伙伴在浏览权利清除，数字化，在线出版和数据摄入方面，同时还为出版物开发和测试标准，以改善较小的聚合器对这些新近开放数据的识别和验证。这项工作中的所有发现都将减少到工具包，以帮助其他人建立自己的基层活动和本地网络，以支持超出项目生活的开放式Glam参与。较小的收藏持有人越来越有兴趣建立成功的开放访问计划，以提高其收藏品的知名度，并探索从更大的公众参与度中流动的新业务模式。 Wikimedia Commons和Data Coctregators之类的流行平台提供了低成本的出版物选项，可以提高可见性和参与度，但它们也产生了自己的障碍来开放Glam的参与。具有定制数据模型的更大且资源良好的数据聚合器需要更高的专业知识来准备收集数据以进行摄入；同时，较小的数据聚合器更适合较较不融资资源的组织发布的数据，通常将发布给Wikimedia Commons的收藏视为高风险，因为它们无法验证遗产数据集的权利状态。结果是较小的组织有一个巨大的错过机会，可以将藏品作为CC0向Wikimedia commons发布，以使较小的聚合者和其他参与者使用Wikimedia的开放API摄入数据，从而提高其可发现性，可重复性和整体潜力。华丽。最初，项目活动将集中于德文郡和西南地区资源较低的组织中的基层运动，以支持向Wikimedia Commons和South West Collections Explorer的标准化和发布数据。同时，该实验室将与较小的聚合器合作，制定标准化程序和政策，以识别和登上这些和其他较小组织的数字收集。到项目结束时，实验室将在开放式访问工具包中发布所有新发现和流程，以支持他人开发自己的本地化开放式魅力广告系列和支持网络。该项目的更广泛的影响是扩大公共访问数字化的公共领域收集的访问权限，同时改善公开许可的收集的总体多样性和可在线重复使用的数据。 Glam-E实验室将英国和美国从业人员，学者，收集持有人和数据聚合器汇集在一起​​，以建模和测试这些新的途径，网络和基础架构，以更可持续的开放式GLAM参与。通过这项新作品，该实验室将探索和弥合较小的收藏者，平台和数据聚合器的需求，从而导致CC0数字资产的各种景观以及可通过各种本地和全球受众群体重新使用的数据。该项目将通过实验室网站，研讨会，活动和出版物来传播研究结果。
