Civic Hacknight #525: Artsdata: Open Data Infrastructure for the Performing Arts
Ready to join in on the fun?
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
