I'm quite proud to be among so many greats in the ongoing musete.ch interview series coordinated by Dana Allen-Greil.
In this interview conducted by Solimar Salas, I chatter about openness, digital humanities, GLAM-Wiki, QR, and a hint of what you can expect from our forthcoming panel on Open Authority at the 2013 Museum Computer Network conference.

Open Authority Example #10
Rijksstudio, Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam
Website: Rijksstudio
Press: "Masterworks for One and All," New York Times
Awards: Best of the Web, Museums and the Web
"We're a public institution, and so the art and objects we have are, in a way, everyone's property." - Taco Dibbits, Director of Collections
Can you believe I hadn't posted this as an Open Authority example yet? Better late than never! The fantastic New York Times article linked above prompted me to ensure its inclusion on this list. I also had the opportunity to hear the Rijksmuseum's presentation on the successes of Rijksstudio at Museums and the Web this spring. While the project certainly is an impressive undertaking, what's most impressive is the vision behind it--an unapologetic commitment to openness and remix-ability that few museums are bold enough to truly implement. Things are looking up, though; the three Best of the Web wins bode well for future Rijksstudio-esque projects.
Big Data vs. Small Data: What About GLAMs? OpenGLAM blog. Joris Pekel. May 2, 2013.
"...It is not about the size of your database, the real revolution is the mass democratisation of the public institutions...the Open GLAM should be prepared to engage in the discussion and build value together with the community. Opening up data is not about dumping it online and never look at it again, it is about a dialogue where the public institutions tries as much as possible to send the user on his way, only to see him wander off and explore paths and directions never seen before."
I've been thinking a lot lately on the nuance between "Open as in access" and "Open as in co-creation of knowledge." For this reason, I'm happy to see this OpenGLAM perspective on Open Authority, within the context of big data vs. small data. Much food for thought!

I'm excited to share that my graduate thesis on Open Authority has now been published in Curator. If you're interested in reading more, get in touch.
Abstract:
Museums today grapple with the reconciliation of traditional models of authority with the expectation to incorporate new voices in cultural interpretation. At the same time, society is increasingly empowered by a social web that provides collaboration, connectivity, and openness. This paper frames the dialogue of authority and openness around parallel theories within the museum and technology communities, offering Wikipedia as a platform for facilitating new perspectives in collaborative knowledge-sharing between museums and communities. Expanding on the metaphors of the museum as “the Temple and the Forum” and the web as “the Cathedral and the Bazaar,” this essay argues that issues of democratization, voice, and authority in museums can be addressed through Wikipedia’s community, process, and its potential as a model for a new Open Authority in museums.
