Participant and Community Reflections and Observations

Day 3, Thursday, July 26, 2012

CurateCamp Processing: Processing Collections/Processing Data
Processing means different things to an archivist and a software developer. To the former, processing is about taking custody of collections, preserving context, and providing arrangement, description, and accessibility. To the latter, processing is about computer processing and has to do with how one automates a range of tasks through computation. When a cultural heritage organization's work is organized around processing digital objects, these two notions of processing intermingle. This CurateCamp unconference is intended to put these two notions of processing together in whatever ways can be imagined by the curators, archivists, librarians, scholars, software developers, computer engineers, and others that attend. For more information about CurateCamp, visit: http://www.curatecamp.org/about
