This training focuses on metadata, structured search engine data and related data and aims to improve the knowledge, uses and project proposals of artists and cultural organizations in the media arts.
The activity is full.
This training will be offered in French only.
Josée will discuss the concepts and notions of data use in the cultural sector and answer your practical questions. For example: What is the data web? Structured data, open data, linked data: what is it? What are the means at our disposal? How to develop project ideas from data use?
By applying the new knowledge acquired at the beginning of the day through various exercises, you will be able to:
- See how search engines use metadata and Wikipedia to understand the content of a web page;
- Perform tests to validate the discoverability of metadata;
- Know what means are available to you to link creators and their creations to the data web.
- At the end of the training, participating media arts artists and cultural organizations will have acquired the knowledge mentioned above, thus improving their use of data in their project proposals.
