User:Susannaanas/Open GLAM Glossary

From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki

Introduction[edit]

This page is a sketch for a Wikidata-based glossary about Open GLAM concepts.

  • The original glossary authored by Andrea Wallace is copied from Words Mean Things (A Glossary).
  • The page is not yet translatable, but the idea is that it would be. (I suspect user pages are not translatable). Description would be the only part translated on the wiki page.
  • All other information would be populated automatically in the user's language, when a concept exists in Wikidata. Editing that information would take place on Wikidata as well.
  • There could be a form to add new concepts and the initial description.
  • References can be added to the description.
  • The sections for Wikipedia articles and Authority ID lists can be made collapsible to make the page look neater.
  • Could a bibliography be created for each concept? Using Zotero, for example?
  • Can we add visualizations on the page, is it useful?
  • Can we add embedded tools to add and edit Wikidata labels and descriptions, for example?
  • How to manage entangling wrongly selected concepts, splitting or uniting concepts? It seems too challenging to do on the page, and for most of the people. Perhaps some more wiki-savvy people could do the actual work while anyone could flag such problems.
  • Is a wiki page a good format? It gives tools for translation, it can display and manage multilingual information. The data added to Wikimedia projects can be reused globally or displayed/managed through a bespoke external application.

audience (Q211198)[edit]

Initial entry: Audience (en)

group of people who participate in a show or encounter a work of art

description[edit]

You can contribute to this text or translate it to your language.

Audience is sometimes criticized as a term for communicating a one-way relationship that holds GLAMs in a position of authority with the public as a passive actor, spectator, or receiver of information. In this resource, “audience” carries a more dynamic meaning: audiences are participants who hold their own agency and authority.

Notes[edit]

Comment this entry / Wrong Wikidata item

author (Q482980)[edit]

author or intellectual author of a linguistic work

Initial entry Author (en)

Author is a legal term used to refer to a person who makes a creative work and first owns the rights associated with it. With a literary work (like a book), the author is the writer. With an artistic work (like a painting), the author is the artist. With music (like a composition), the author is the composer, and so on. It may seem counterproductive to refer to this diverse group of creators as “authors.” But copyright law does not make distinctions among the authors of creative works. (See also Rights holder.)

collection (Q2668072)[edit]

set of purposefully gathered physical or digital objects with some common characteristics

Initial entry Collection (en)

Collection can refer to a specific set of items bound by a common denominator (e.g., a donor or genus). It is also used to refer to a given GLAM’s entire collection.

community (Q177634)[edit]

social unit of human organisms who share common values

Initial entry Community (en)

Community is used in open GLAM to describe various networked relationships, localization initiatives, and engagement by volunteers, crowdsourcing, general or specific user-groups (e.g., in Wikipedia and Creative Commons), a given geographic area, and so on. For legal purposes, “community” can also describe a group of diverse and distinct individuals with a shared legal injury, or a group of actors disenfranchised from participating in international legal systems due to their non-state legal status. We acknowledge the oppressive ways in which “community” can be used, and actively resist allowing this word to be co-opted.[1]

rights holder (Q63378287)[edit]

Initial entry Rights holder (en)

Rights holder is a legal term used to refer to a person who holds the IPR in a creative work. This may or may not be the author. The author is the first owner of the IPR, but may assign some or all rights to a third party during their lifetime. Those retained by the author will transfer to an heir upon their death. (See also Author and Owner.)

  1. “Community” is sometimes used as a codeword to refer to a group or groups of people as separate from the majority, which has the effect of Othering.
