Linked (Open) Data, Digital Collections Management & Digitization
About me
My interest in history has been fueled since I got more in touch with heritage. Cultural institutions have a wealth of information stored in archives. Their valuable collections are patiently waiting to be viewed. I am thrilled to contribute to making this available to the world.
I am involved with digitization, collections management systems, crowdsourcing and making collections accessible to the (global) public. Personally I have interest in the latest developments in regards to collections management; specifically Linked (Open) Data, IIIF, SPARQL and new registration standards like Records In Context.
I'm attending Europeana 2022 to meet like-minded people who want to leverage the latest technologies in collections management. I'd be happy to share thoughts on developments in regards to linking collections, data and sources.
Let's have a chat at Europeana in person, or connect with me on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/martijn-roelofs/

My professional career combines both my academic research on the digital object with my practice in the public cultural sector. I believe that digital resources not only sustain rich narratives but enable them to fold into cultural heritage – or unwrap from them to open up new pathways for self-directed learning and creative ways of thinking about self; past and present. Emeritus, Senior Curator of New Media and Head of the Internet Office at the Israel Museum, Jerusalem. Masters, and PhD research at Goldsmiths College, University of London in Media and Communications focused on electronic architectures in the contemporary museum.
