RS combines research tools with social networking applications such as forums, wikis and blogs. The research tools are launched from a custom toolbar embedded into the collaboration application itself and therefore they are easily incorporated into a project's workflow . Essentially these research tool 'plug-ins' provide an additional layer of functionality so that data and digital assets can be searched and edited while engaging in more informal collaboration and communication activity. Conversely, it is the collaboration activity that creates opportunities for more formal data recording.

Ein Beispiel für neue Zielgruppen erreichen (s. Konferenzbeitrag Archimuse: http://www.archimuse.com/mw2008/abstracts/prg_335001837.html Our solution (in progress): - By creating many experiments across the widest range of existing social networking models we are making links with the local community who in turn show what the Gallery and the area is really about through their own images, ...- We always ensure we can back each experiment with adequate resources and talent to ensure a high quality result that does justice to the Gallery we represent.

Bletchley Park was the site of the United Kingdom's main codebreaking facility during the second world war. This is the place where the Enigma code that was used to encrypt military communications by Nazi Germany was broken. This is said to have brought the war in Europe to an end two years earlier than if the Enigma code had not been decrypted. This is a collection of interviews with people who worked there

A story has a beginning, a middle, and a cleanly wrapped-up ending. Whether told around a campfire, read from a book, or played on a DVD, a story goes from point A to B and then C. It follows a trajectory, a Freytag Pyramid-perhaps the line of a human life or the stages of the hero's journey. A story is told by one person or by a creative team to an audience that is usually quiet, even receptive. Or at least that's what a story used to be, and that's how a story used to be told. Today, with digital networks and social media, this pattern is changing. Stories now are open-ended, branching, hyperlinked, cross-media, participatory, exploratory, and unpredictable. And they are told in new ways: Web 2.0 storytelling picks up these new types of stories and runs with them, accelerating the pace of creation and participation while revealing new directions for narratives to flow.

Martin Arnke: Arbeitsschwerpunkte Als Initiator des Fachs „Kulturinformatik" am Fachbereich Kulturwissenschaften bestand meine Aufgabe in der Entwicklung eines Lehrangebots, das kulturwissenschaftliche, künstlerische und Informatik-Fragenstellungen miteinander verknüpft und konkret umsetzt. Ich habe seit 1983 regelmäßig Lehrveranstaltungen durchgeführt, bin und war an den Universitäten Klagenfurt und Basel als Lehrbeauftragter tätig. Im Rahmen dieser Forschungsprojekte ist ein XML-Standard entstanden (PeTAL: Picture Text Annotation Language), der nun Einzug in die scientific community hält. Ein kürzlich bewilligtes DFG-Projekt setzt diese Arbeit fort.

"Welcome to UKOLN's Cultural Heritage blog. The blog aims to provide a key communication channel for UKOLN's engagement with the cultural heritage sector, for disseminating information on UKOLN's activities in this area and for encouraging discussion and debate on innovation and best practices."

In this paper we illustrate how Rich Internet Applications (RIAs), combining lightweight information architecture with advanced search paradigms (like faceted search) and interactive visualization strategies, can be used to better support a number of communication goals.

Ja, wer kennt sie mittlerweile nicht, die mit kritischem und Wissen suggerierendem Blick eines potentiellen Kunden gestellte Frage wenn es um Social Media Aktivitäten geht: "Und wo ist der RoI?" Dabei wissen die meisten der Kunden noch nicht einmal, was RoI bedeutet. Aber es klingt erstmal wichtig und wissend. Und wir, die wir uns mit Social Media Marketing intensiv beschäftigen und das Social Web täglich leben, wir müssen uns ersteinmal kräftig schütteln und den unangenehm kalten Schauer auf dem Rücken vertreiben. Denn das Gegenrechnen von Social Media verstößt eigentlich gegen alels, was Social Media verkörpert: Authenzität, Freiwilligkeit, Spaß, Offenheit, direkte Kommunikation.

Cultural Heritage and the Semantic Web British Museum & UCL Study Day - Jan 13th The World Wide Web is an essential part of the Museum's toolkit for publishing information, engaging visitors and communicating across the globe. However, museum web sites and information systems are still largely silos that make it difficult for us to realize the benefits of bringing data together. The growing momentum of the Semantic Web movement means a greater investment in the technology and tools needed to convert its potential into practical opportunities that museums can utilise. Und: "A museum object is more like an illustration, or witness of the past, than information in its own right. Cultural historical research means understanding 'possible pasts', the facts, events, material, social and psychological influences and motivations. It lives from understanding contexts, by pulling together bits and pieces of related facts from disparate resources, which can typically not be classified under subjects in an obvious way. It lives from taking into account all known facts."
