SMALL GLAM SLAM Pilot 1 status report

The SMALL GLAM SLAM Pilot 1 project, developed by LaOficina Producciones Culturales with financial support of the Wikimedia Foundation, has published their first status report. Rebranded as "Very Small GLAM," the project aims to cater to GLAM entities of minimal size, aligning with the ISO/IEC 29110 Series concept of "very small entities." This shift includes the creation of a new initiative called Wikimedia LEADS (Learning Ecosystems and Ameliorating Data Space), targeting advanced learning and open data spaces within the Wikimedia Movement.

The project's activities are now structured into four work-packages: IT system development, Wikibase suite configuration, GLAM ontologies and vocabularies, and GLAM practices. Notably, the project adopts the CIDOC Conceptual Reference Model (CIDOC-CRM) and Records in Contexts–Conceptual Model (RiC-CM), with plans to integrate them into Wikibase. Additionally, tools for ontology mapping and importing based on CIDOC-CRM have been discovered, enhancing the project's capabilities.

While progress in GLAM practices is limited, relevant literature has been gathered for future reference. Dissemination efforts include workshop participation and poster session proposals at events like Wikimania and the Wikimedia Hackathon.

Looking ahead, the project aims to finalize hardware setup, migrate multimedia archives, and establish stable ontology models for digital archives. Project lead will also attend upcoming events for further collaboration and dissemination of project outcomes.
