Data conveys the wider category of GLAM collections data, like both digitized and born digital images, descriptive data, metadata, paradata, and other materials. For open GLAM, recognizing collections as data is key to unlocking their computational value for purposes like text and data mining, data visualization, mapping, image or audio analysis, network analysis, and machine learning. Also, we’ll use the singular form of data (e.g., “data is” rather than “data are”). For all you data pluralists, just get on board with it now and things will be easier.
