TAROCH (Towards a Recommendation on Open Cultural Heritage) is a global initiative advocating for a UNESCO standard to advance open access to heritage in the public domain. This session explores how localized leadership and global collaboration are reframing open heritage and influencing policy. TAROCH offers a practical path to resilience, enabling communities to learn from, support, and advocate for access to heritage in the digital age.
In this lighting talk, we will talk about how we created WIkimedistas de Uruguay strategy for digital heritage, and how we are implementing it.
Nine a ideas for developing a workable engagement strategy for a large institution with no previous Wikimedia experience, in Wikidata, Commons, and Wikipedia. (Slides)
In this lightning talk I want to show 3 things. (1) Why copyright is great. (2) Why URAA is a disaster for Wikimedia Commons. (3) How we could act to minimize the detrimental effects of copyright rules like URAA.
The Content Partnerships Hub is a global support structure created as part of Wikimedia Movement Strategy to empower communities in developing GLAM partnerships. The work includes support around key tools that are needed for content partnerships. At this lightning talk we will present what has been done, what the current plans are and how you can engage in the work. We will discuss what stakeholders exist and how we can work together. |
