@[email protected] see you there!

[Prof Fiona Candlin @FionaCandlin]

Do please spread the word: we are looking for a data / computer science post-doc (full-time, 2 years) to work with the @MuseumsMapping team to track the flows of objects from closed museums.

@j_w_baker @ProgHist To be fair, they couldn't keep a SPARQL endpoint online. Keeping the data itself online doesn't require that.

Another great mainstream media story about LUX: https://t.co/fa4CNPzKWN :)

@eltonteb @DEJPett @PelagiosNetwork Now that it's live, we should find a pelagios call to discuss on. Functionally there's a reconciliation issue for data, and then an integration issue once reconciled. The shortest route is pretty short though!

Off to England to talk about LUX with... British Library, V&A, National Gallery, National Archives, Natural History Museum, Oxford University, Cambridge University, and so on. So happy it's gaining traction, and excited to see who's next. https://t.co/HaDO62WwhI #YaleLUX

@DEJPett my dance card is full this trip with the exception of 4pm Wednesday?, but will doubtless be back again before long! Say hi to Phil C for me :)

In its first two weeks, LUX (https://t.co/HaDO62X47g) Yale's new public knowledge graph for cultural and natural history, has had 10ks of uses, and prompted great interaction including offers of donations and people adding to our records about themselves ... Are you in LUX?

[Arches Project @archesproject]

Arches-related #job: @HistoricEngland is seeking a Manager to lead Heritage Data programme projects. This includes Arches for HERs, a customized version of the Arches platform purpose-built for UK Historic Environment Records. Apply by June 18: https://t.co/pauqB2kcJF

@daviskellyk Yep. Pretty much!! I thought the analogies was good on many levels. Also... if each piece of string is a handspan... the strings in LUX reach beyond the moon!

[Rob Sanderson @[email protected] @azaroth42]

I am so excited and proud to announce the official launch today of #YaleLUX, https://t.co/HaDO62WwhI our knowledge graph / LOUD based cultural and natural heritage discovery platform.

[Rob Sanderson @[email protected] @azaroth42]

@ParisWriters @daviskellyk What would you like to do with sparql and LUX? There are plans for API access, but nothing is finalized yet. Would be great to have use cases :)

[Rob Sanderson @[email protected] @azaroth42]

@tristan_roddis I am! Happy to chat during the conference

Yale Launches LUX, A Powerful New Search Tool For Cross-Collection Exploration https://t.co/h8l2ssUH3X #libraries #YaleLux

[Rob Sanderson @[email protected] @azaroth42]

@tristan_roddis Thanks Tristan. Trying to set up a presentation about LUX in London on the 19th of June at the V&A... will send you the details if you're interested.

[Rob Sanderson @[email protected] @azaroth42]

A couple of media pieces about LUX so far:

* Popular Science: https://t.co/ruDvFflIWv
* Yale News: https://t.co/Mhfo07Ys2J

I'm still smiling from the popsci one's use of all my examples and quotes. Chuffed they used my pinboard analogue.

[Rob Sanderson @[email protected] @azaroth42]

I am happy to answer any questions, or get any feedback about it, here or via other channels. Yale is committed to engagement and transparency, to collaboration and diversity... all so necessary for transformative work like #YaleLUX.

[Rob Sanderson @[email protected] @azaroth42]

@CamUniLibrarian Would be delighted to discuss what we did in more detail, at your convenience! I'll be in London and Oxford the week of the 19th of June, could likely come over to Cambridge if there's a good intersection of calendars :)

[Drew Thomas @DrewBThomas]

Very cool to see #YaleLUX launched. It is a single resource to search across Yale museums, libraries & archives. And @iiif_io compliant! Wonderful resource.

[Chasing Aphrodite @ChasingAphrodit]

Great new tool to take a look at Yale collections 🧐

[Rob Sanderson @[email protected] @azaroth42]

@dzorich Thank you, Diane! I hope you see the echoes of the American Art Collaborative's efforts in #YaleLUX as there's a very direct ancestry. The core model we all, especially @workergnome thank you David, discussed is the foundation the product.

[Rob Sanderson @[email protected] @azaroth42]

@ewg118 @daviskellyk Let's talk :) Even just as an experiment we could harvest numismatics linked art and ingest into a #YaleLUX based platform to see what happens. The more experience and experiments, the better the platform will be and the easier to reproduce!
