Thesis
Internet ecologies of open knowledge as future memory modalities (working title)
Abstract:
The research project will study conditions for the openness of data and business models of sharing cultural materials of public and private providers. It will investigate the diverse qualities of openness of cultural data provided by memory institutions and private providers, i.e. public and private aggregators of cultural data (e.g. Europeana, Digital Repository of Ireland, Google Cultural Institute, Wikimedia), and social media platforms (e.g. YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Flickr) on the Internet. The expected results shall create a critical analysis of current models and narratives for cultural online production and distribution online of cultural information as well as proposals for new economic and social models for production and distribution that are open compatible. Knowledge on open data, science and technology studies, internet economy is an advantage.
