“…Civil society groups were highly successful in promoting standards proposed to international platforms. For example, proposals forwarded by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Learning Technology Standards Committee (IEEE LTSC) meant that standards have been increasingly led by professionals and users in the field and less by industry (Lourdi et al, 2007;Frank et al, 2004;King et al, 2008;Fisher et al, 2006). Civil society associations, particularly the European Forum for the Arts and Heritage and (from 2010 onwards) Culture Action Europe, were closely involved with policy formation throughout.…”

Participatory Gains and Policy Effectiveness: The Open Method of Co‐ordination Information Society

This article provides empirical findings on the relationship between the open method of co-ordination and participation (OMC). Empirically, it draws on within-case analysis to examine how participation, venues and outcomes have varied in different domains of information society policy. This is a challenging case for claims about the participatory effects of the OMC because it is not a policy originally designed to address social policy concerns or unemployment problems. The main conceptual argument is that the OMC is a political opportunity structure that distributes participatory gains. The article examines this opportunity structure by separating out the dimensions of 'procedure' and 'outcomes' and including 'transparency' as a moderating variable. The findings point to participatory effects in all but one case, although not for the same actors and at the same level (European Union or national/sub-national).

“…Over the years, numerous ontological and metadata representations have been proposed to allow further investigation, studies, and research in dance heritage, e.g., [44], [53], [58], [92], and [102]. An extended research about metadata in digital folklore collections, and the main metadata standards to represent cultural heritage collections is given by Lourdi et al [69]. The digitization and documentation of folk dancing consists a large variety of different and complex data, including descriptive data, with regard to the description of the dance being performed, the history, notations, but most importantly, the multimedia recordings.…”

Folk dances often reflect the socio-cultural influences prevailing in different periods and nations; each dance produces a meaning, a story with the help of music, costumes and dance moves. However, dances have no borders; they have been transmitted from generation to generation, along different countries, mainly due to movements of people carrying and disseminating their civilization. Studying the contextual correlation of dances along neighboring countries, unveils the evolution of this unique intangible heritage in time, and helps in understanding potential cultural similarities. In this work we present a method for contextually motion analysis that organizes dance data semantically, to form the first digital dance ethnography. Firstly, we break dance motion sequences into some narrow temporal overlapping feature descriptors, named motion and style words, and then cluster them in a high-dimensional features space to define motifs. The distribution of those motion and style motifs creates motion and style signatures, in the content of a bag-of-motifs representation, that implies for a succinct but descriptive portrayal of motions sequences. Signatures are timescale and temporal-order invariant, capable of exploiting the contextual correlation between dances, and distinguishing fine-grained difference between semantically similar motions. We then use quartet-based analysis to organize dance data into a categorization tree, while inferred information from dance metadata descriptions are then used to set parent-child relationships. We illustrate a number of different organization trees, and portray the evolution of dances over time. The efficiency of our method is also demonstrated in retrieving contextually similar dances from a database.

“…Their article discusses data type handling and compares standards. Lourdi, Papatheodorou, and Nikolaidou (2007) discussed the multi-layer metadata model needed for the variation in materials in their Greek folklore collections at University of Athens. Ma (2006) provided the metadata implementation steps for digital projects at the Pennsylvania State University Libraries.…”

Abstract:The Metadata Best Practices Task Force at the Colorado State University (CSU) Libraries developed a core set of metadata elements and an accompanying data dictionary to facilitate a coordinated metadata management approach for a central digital repository of diverse digital objects. This article describes the rationale for the Task Force and the process used for its work following a look at the background of digitization and past metadata practices at CSU. The article includes a literature review on institutional metadata projects and examples, and it ends with a description of the Task Force's ongoing work and plans for future assessment.
