    2010 conference: booking will close shortly as we are nearing our 350

    The keynote speakers are Liam Wyatt, the British Museum’s


    first Wikipedian in Residence, who will give a keynote on Peace, Love

    Crawford, Engineering Director for Google Books, who will talk about
    the present and future of the project.

    In parallel tracks, discussion groups will be led by experts on key


    themes in our sector – Linked Data, User Generated Content, and the
    Risks and Rewards of opening up our data and content.
    There will also be demonstrations of successful sites around Europe
    that exemplify these themes.
    The Europeana conference is a free annual event which highlights
    current challenges for our sector and looks for practical solutions for
    the future. This year’s conference will focus on how museums,
    libraries, archives and audiovisual collections can create public value
    by making digital, cultural and scientific information openly available.
    The Open Culture 2010 conference is open to all cultural institutions,
    information professionals, application developers and technology
    researchers. The conference will connect the main actors in cultural
    and scientific heritage in order to build networks and establish future
    collaborations. Register today in order to:
    • Benefit from the latest thinking of innovators, experts and
    academics.
    • Learn about new project achievements, technology
    developments and trends in the cultural heritage domain.
    • Meet inspirational speakers, key decision makers and
    potential project partners.
    More about our keynotes:
    Liam Wyatt’s work at the British Museum brought curators, content
    and Wikipedia contributors together in new ways. The collaboration
    was a great success, improving the quality of Wikipedia articles on
    the Museum's objects and increasing the clickthroughs to the
    Museum's site. It heralds a change in the way that professionals in
    galleries, libraries, archives and museums engage with their online
    users.
    James Crawford’s keynote on Google Books will focus on progress
    towards the goal of scanning the world's books and making the data
    searchable online. Recent developments include digitisation
    agreements signed with Europeana’s host, the National Library of the
    Netherlands, and EuropeanaConnect’s co-ordinator, the National
    Library of Austria, one result of which is that a further 560,000
    historic texts will be made avalaible through Europeana.
    We look forward to welcoming you to the Open Culture 2010
    Conference.
