We missed you this time around!
NOTE: We have limited in-person capacity for this event. If you've RSVPed to attend in person and can no longer attend, please change your RSVP to "Not attending" or "Attend online."
If you're on the waiting list to attend in-person, we encourage you to plan to join us via Zoom instead. Change your RSVP to "Attend online" to see the link.
If you're attending in person, please note that we'll do our best to accommodate everyone. In particular, if you arrive late there may not be room, or may be standing room only.
Topic:
Open Data Infrastructure for the Performing Arts
Live performance information is ephemeral and is dispersed across thousands of websites and platforms. This makes it difficult for search engines for Large Language Models to decipher what is worthy of being served as an answer, when an arts goer asks them “what’s on this weekend?”. The Artsdata knowledge graph was designed to overcome these information gaps (and many others).
Speaker:
Frédéric Julien
Frédéric has been leading research and development activities at the Canadian Association for the Performing Arts since 2010. In this capacity, he has directed or authored several key research initiatives such as: Arts and Belonging, Vitality and Impact of Arts Presenting, Digitizing the Performing Arts, Indigenous Artists and Wikidata, and Driving Discoverability in the Performing Arts through Structured Data. Current projects include Re-Imagining Customer Relationships and Artsdata.
Agenda:
7:00-7:20 Welcome and Introductions
7:20-7:50 Presentation and Q&A/discussion
7:50-9:00 Breakout groups
