The guiding question: to what degree and in what context do OpenGLAM practitioners, enthusiasts, and educators engage with digital cultural heritage metadata?
More specifically: How could metadata layering become a site for critical, constructive OpenGLAM educational resources and Indigenous data sovereignty?
The context: The MHz Curationist V2 platform launches in 2022, with a museum API search tool, expanded original editorial content, and pilot metadata layering.
The method: In 2022, we will be arranging user-testing sessions with OpenGLAM practitioners, enthusiasts, and educators about how to develop and expand this community metadata interface. In particular, we are working with Local Contexts and Global Indigenous Data Alliance leaders to integrate capacity-building for Local Contexts Notices of Traditional Knowledge.
