Organized by Iain Emsley (Open Humanities Open Knowledge Working Group), facilitated by Peter Kraker (Know-Center/OKF Panton Fellow)

The goal of this session is to devise a set of clear principles which describe what we mean by Open Data in the humanities, what these should contain and how to the use them.

Peter kicked off with a presentation to get everyone up to speed (see slideshare.net/pkraker/opendata-humanities). We first went go through definitions for open science and open data. Then, we looked at the Panton Principles for Open Data in Science (see https://pantonprinciples.org) and a proposed adaptation for the humanities (see http://austgate.co.uk/2013/10/repost-of-principles-for-open-humanities-and-literature/).

Afterwards, we had an animated discussion on the issues of open data in the humanities (the discussion is summed up nicely in the Etherpad: https://pad.okfn.org/p/Panton_Principles_for_the_Humanities). This exchange gave us a number of problems with open data in the humanities (see http://i.imgur.com/GucCJaJ.jpg) to work with. Then, the participants got together into groups of 3 or 4 to come up with solutions to these problems. Finally, each group presented their solutions (see http://i.imgur.com/QuA62rA.jpg).
