Shaping the Future of Cultural Heritage: “Connecting the Cultural Heritage Cloud with the common European data space for cultural heritage and the European Open Science Cloud”
2024-09-27 10:00 - 12:00 | Online
The Cultural Heritage Cloud – or European Collaborative Cloud for Cultural Heritage (ECCCH) – is a European Union initiative to create a digital infrastructure that will connect cultural heritage researchers and professionals across the EU. It will develop specific digital collaborative tools for the sector while removing barriers for smaller and remote institutions. The goal is to help cultural heritage institutions, research organisations and other professional organisations of all kinds and sizes to work with their digital objects in a more visible, interconnected, harmonised, and informed way, to successfully cope with the challenges the digital transition poses to the sector and seize its opportunities. The Cultural Heritage Cloud will add a new digital dimension to cultural heritage preservation, conservation, restoration and enhancement by providing cutting-edge technologies, for instance for the digitization of artefacts or for researching artworks. The implementation of this initiative has now begun with the EU-funded project ECHOES – European Cloud for Heritage OpEn Science, which started on the 1 of June 2024.
Two other initiatives are currently running at European level:

funded by the Digital Europe programme, the common European data space for cultural heritage is an EU flagship initiative to accelerate the digital transformation of the sector and foster creation, access and reuse of heritage data.
The vision for the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) is to put in place a system for researchers in Europe to store, share, process, analyse, and reuse data within and across disciplines and borders.

In this webinar, we’ll learn more about the Cloud and two other European initiatives, and how they are interconnected and complementary, how these initiatives interact with the Cloud, and what the added value of such connections is for the cultural heritage community.

CARE-Prinzipien
2024-10-02 10:00 - 11:30 | Online
Die FAIR-Prinzipien (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) sind mittlerweile die anerkannten Leitlinien im Umgang mit Forschungsdaten und legen den Fokus auf technische und organisatorische Aspekte wie die Annotation von Metadaten, die Veröffentlichung und Registrierung von DOIs sowie die Vergabe von Lizenzen für eine möglichst freie Nachnutzbarkeit. Die möglichst freie Verfügbarkeit und ein freier Datenaustausch sind die gesetzten Ziele.
Die CARE-Prinzipien (Collective Benefit, Authority to Control, Responsibility, Ethics) hingegen stehen für einen angemessenen Umgang mit Daten, die indigene Gemeinschaften betreffen, und sollen die FAIR-Prinzipien ergänzen. Im Gegensatz zu FAIR fokussiert sich CARE nicht auf die Erleichterung des Datenaustauschs, sondern auf die Wahrung der Interessen indigener Gemeinschaften, einer fairen Beteiligung an der Wertschöpfungskette und der Rückgabe von Kontrolle über Daten wie Bildern und Artefakten.

Collective Benefit zielt darauf ab, Daten indigener Gemeinschaften so zu verwenden, dass diese daraus Nutzen bei öffentlichen Entscheidungsprozessen, der Selbstbestimmung und der gerechten Realisierung von generierten Werten haben.
Authority to Control verfolgt das Ziel, die Rechte indigener Gemeinschaften an ihren Daten anzuerkennen und zu wahren. Das erstreckt sich über die Erhebung und Nutzung von Daten im Rahmen der Selbstbestimmung bis hin zur aktiven Kontrolle des Zugangs zu Daten indigenen Ursprungs.
Responsibility richtet sich an diejenigen, die mit Daten indigenen Ursprungs arbeiten. Diese müssen belegen, wie sie mit diesen Daten umgehen und welcher Nutzen für die indigene Gemeinschaft daraus entsteht. Die Nutzung indigener Daten verlangt dabei die Sicherstellung eines respekt- und würdevollen Umgangs mit den Daten. Gleichzeitig soll die Data Literacy indigener Gemeinschaften soweit ausgebaut werden, dass diese Daten eigenständig und im Einklang mit ihren Werten erstellen kann.
Der Ethics-Aspekt legt fest, dass die Rechte indigener Gemeinschaften und deren Wohlergehen gewahrt werden. Dazu zählt die Vermeidung von Schaden durch die Datennutzung, ein gerechter Umgang mit dem Ungleichgewicht von Macht und Ressourcen sowie die Berücksichtigung der zukünftigen Datennutzung.

Der Vortrag streift Fragen der Forschungsethik und stellt die CARE-Prinzipien sowie deren praktische Umsetzung vor. Dabei wird die Relevanz von CARE für Forschungsdaten über Daten indigenen Ursprung hinaus skizziert.
Zeit und Ort: 02. Oktober 2024, 10:00 – 11:30 Uhr, online via Webex

Movement for Indigenous Data Sovereignty: A Māori Decolonization Tool
2024-10-08 11:00 - 12:30 | Online
This talk will first outline which data can be described as “indigenous”
or “Māori data”, and to what extent sovereignty can be achieved for it.
In New Zealand, a movement has formed that advocates for this
sovereignty and thus promotes decolonial thinking. The Decolonize the
Library Network in German-speaking Countries invites you after the talk,
inspired by this practice, to discuss options for decolonial handling of
data in libraries.
Chris Cormack co-developed the open source library management system
Koho and works to increase the participation and representation of Māori
in the IT sector, siehe https://www.linkedin.com/in/chriscormack/.

Hosted by HUB Ocean, Microsoft and Accenture on October 10th, the Ocean Data Action Day will provide insights into the invaluable role of industrial ocean data sharing in promoting ocean health and sustainable management. Sharing this data bridges knowledge gaps, benefiting both the environment and ocean-dependent industries.
Under the auspices of the High-Level Panel for a Sustainable Ocean Economy, these organizations spearhead the coalition, contributing to the Ocean Panel’s goal of achieving a 100% sustainably managed ocean. Unlocking industrial ocean data is a specific goal for ODAC, as it is for the UN Ocean Decade’s Corporate Data Group, of which HUB Ocean is also a key member.
Moderated by David Eades, broadcaster and journalist, the event will feature leaders from industry, science and regulatory, and offer a 360° perspective on the significance of industrial ocean data sharing. HUB Ocean will introduce their report, Tides of Transparency: A First Mapping of Industrial Ocean Data Sharing, including insights, use cases and guidelines explaining why and how private industry can make their ocean data publicly accessible, empowering all joining to contribute to the sustainable management of the ocean.
Blue-Cloud 2026 at the event
Blue-Cloud 2026 will be represented by Dick Shaap (MARIS), Technical Coordinator of Blue-Cloud, who will be giving a presentation at 10:20 CEST on Enriching Open Ocean Data Repositories with Industrial Data.
