Historical Knowledge

The article focuses on a study of knowledge creation and organizing in a local history wiki. The background for this study was to understand how web 2.0 and social media might open new possibilities for museums to collaborate with communities and lay professionals in cultural heritage knowledge creation. Digital technologies provide tools that in many ways overcome challenges of physical collaboration between museums and amateurs. But technologies also bring in new aspects of ordering, categorizing and systematizing knowledge that illuminates the different institutional as well as professional frameworks that writing local historical knowledge into digital forms in fact represents.

<p>This study explores how cultural heritage institutions (CHIs) have adopted Web 2.0 principles and applications for their digital collections and how users are responding to the Web 2.0-enabled environment in digital collections. The research aims to contribute discussion on whether CHIs have adapted well to the “democratic” nature of Web 2.0. It also aims to contribute discussion on how CHIs can improve their digital collections to better engage with users online. The research used quantitative content analysis to compare the adoption of Web 2.0 applications and principles across archives, libraries and museums and between Australasian and North American CHIs. It also used quantitative content analysis to explore the types of participatory activities offered in Web 2.0-enabled digital collections and the extent to which users have taken advantage of these forms of participation. One particular form of participation, commenting, was investigated using qualitative content analysis, to gain an understanding of how users respond to digital content. The research suggests that libraries are currently leading the adoption of Web 2.0 principles and applications for digital collections. It also appears that Australasian CHIs have been more proactive, compared to their North American counterparts, in making available Web 2.0-enabled digital collections. The research found that CHIs supported a range of different activities in their digital collections but activities encouraging multivocality and user-driven ranking of content were the most popular among both digital collections and their users.</p>

La tecnología del podcasting ha conocido un considerable crecimiento durante estos últimos años, facilitada por circunstancias como la consolidación de la web semántica manual o web 2.0 y el surgimiento de la figura del prosumidor de contenidos. Desde el punto de vista de su evolución en el tiempo consideramos la existencia de cuatro etapas diferenciadas, a las que denominamos como experimental (finales del siglo XX a 2005), de consolidación (2006 a 2009), multimedia (2010 a 2013) y de eclosión (2014 hasta la actualidad). Se analiza cuál es el grado de utilización de los podcasts para el tratamiento de la temática referida a la difusión del patrimonio cultural en el ámbito específico hispanoparlante. Para ello, se ha examinado la presencia de esta clase de herramientas en dos de las principales plataformas de podcasting a escala internacional: iVoox y SoundCloud. Podcasting technology has had a considerable growth during last years, facilitated by circumstances such as the consolidation of the manual semantic web or web 2.0 and the emergence of the figure of the prosumer of contents. From the point of view of its chronological evolution, we consider the existence of four differentiated stages, which we call as experimental (late 20th century to 2005), consolidation (2006 to 2009), multimedia (2010 to 2013) and hatching (2014 to nowadays). We analyze the degree of use of podcasts for the treatment of the theme related to the dissemination of cultural heritage in the specific Hispanic-speaking environment. In order to do so, we have examined the presence of this kind of tools in two of the main international podcasting platforms: iVoox and SoundCloud.

Museums and libraries are treasure houses of human history and knowledge with rich repositories on cultural heritage. With advanced technological developments in digital libraries and Web 2.0, cultural institutions are beginning to explore new forms of universal and dynamic accessibility. Using a case example of the Chinese “qipao”, this paper proposes a socially constructed virtual museum prototype incorporating interactivity of Web 2.0 to promote cultural communication and exchange while improving user interaction and participation. In this paper, the authors describe the design, prototyping, and evaluation process of QiVMDL (Qipao Virtual Museum and Digital Library). The paper concludes with implications for digital library research and development supporting virtual museums for the preservation of cultural heritage.

Cultural Heritage Preservation

Information and communication technology (ICT) plays a significant role in making cultural heritage preservation activities find acceptance and appreciation from society. By using Web 2.0 developments, preservationists may strengthen the idiosyncrasy of cultural heritage. For Indonesia, highlighting a unique cultural heritage is important since Indonesia has cultural similarities with other countries. An intensive dialogue among historians, anthropologists, artists, activists, and other participants can facilitate the meta-reflection which is needed in formulating cultural heritage. Such a dialogue space can conveniently be constructed using Web 2.0 technologies. Instead of presenting a technically-focused applications of Web 2.0 technology for cultural heritage, this paper highlights the inquiry, dialogue, and collaboration behind culture and cultural heritage activities. It also discusses technocultural issues, including Web 2.0, globalization 3.0, and the rise of a new technocultural class, in order to create a framework for culture and cultural heritage approaches before implementing technological solutions to cultural heritage problems.
