OD4CH, open data for cultural heritage

From 27 to 28 April the international conference OD4CH is organized in Milan, an opportunity to discuss and deepen methodological and practical approaches for the digitization of cultural heritage. This meeting is designed as a collaborative space where participants can work on new models and actions of cultural heritage management based on the re-use of open data and the use of free software.

The goal of the conference is raising the citizen's awareness of democratizing access to common goods, through open data policies and open licenses. After all, opening up this public information would help in the decision-making of the cultural sector and would improve the current improvement and conservation procedures.

The call for proposals is already open 

All experts and academics specialized in digital humanities, architectural design, urban planning and design, data journalism or heritage management can attend as speakers at the next conference. To do this, they must submit before 17 March a summary of their project - in English or Italian - related to open linked data for cultural heritage; GIS and free software in the management of cultural heritage; the role and impact of open data in the information and communication of cultural heritage or the history of architectural analysis based on open data; among other possible topics.

The organizing committee is looking for innovative ideas that will be analyzed and evaluated according to their originality, relevance, clarity, impact and solidity. On March 24, the names of the selected candidates will be communicated, who must submit a document explaining the project in depth, being interviewed by a jury before presenting their idea at the International Conference.

If you want to attend, all the information is available on its official website: https://od4ch.org/conference/.
