Structured data for GLAM-Wiki/Roundtripping/Barriers for reading user contributions to the institution

From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki

Technical & administrative limitations

[edit]

For example

  • Contractual or technical limitations in collections management systems
  • Lack of skills, labour or resources
  • Institutional arrangements

Lack of trust

[edit]
  • Inability to evaluate the expertise of the user contributions.
  • Reluctance to integrate the user contributions the institution's master database
  • Missing data provenance

Quality issues

[edit]
  • Translations based on machine translation may not be properly checked
  • Lack of constraints in user input provide unacceptable variance
  • Institutional practices (for example naming conventions) may differ from user contributions
