📢 GREAT NEWS: The new ECHOLOT website is now live!

🌐https://echolot-eccch.eu/

We are proud to present a completely revamped version of our website, which is packed with content covering all aspects of the project and explaining what makes ECHOLOT such a special and exciting initiative.

Visit the site and discover how ECHOLOT will enable the the creation, provision and reuse of high-quality, semantically rich, interoperable #CulturalData ➡️ https://echolot-eccch.eu/

An interesting approach to cultural data access:
A local RAG assistant that lets you explore events through natural language queries, using OpenAgenda data, FAISS, and Mistral. Runs locally, works offline, and avoids platform dependency.

A small but meaningful step toward sovereign cultural infrastructures and new interfaces to cultural data.

Access to massive collections, internal data, and interdisciplinary collaboration makes this more than a fellowship—it’s a glimpse into the future of cultural knowledge.
Another strong reminder how central museums are becoming in shaping AI + humanities research infrastructures.

📢 CFP: Cultural Complexity and Computational Approaches (Complexhibit 2026)
📍 Málaga | 🗓️ 30 June – 2 July 2026

How can we study culture as a complex system—while staying historically grounded and critically reflective?
This call brings together digital art history, #AI, and data science to rethink cultural ecosystems: from canon formation to infrastructures, discourse, and data governance.

🗓️ Deadline: 26 April 2026

✨ ☁️ And as final part of the afternoon at the #ECHOES annual meeting in Poznan today - a side-by-side discussion of how the European Data Space (for Cultural Heritage) relates to the Culture Cloud (and the hashtag#ECHOES project) by #Europeana Director Harry Verwayen and #ECHOES Coordinator Xavier Rodier.

🤝 In a nutshell, the Data Space is a more permanent space for cultural data access & reuse (it's public infrastructure) and the Cloud is a processing workspace for digital collaboration and the advancement of science & research. Crucially - the added value for all stakeholders involved - comes at the space of intersection - when the two initiatives can work in synergy as spaces for knowledge building and exchange. The slide images really paint a clear picture... in theory looks great, putting it in practice will be the hard work ahead of all teams involved over the next 5 years.

📜 A joint statement signed by both initiatives (on stage) should be officially published very soon, too!

💬 Discussions with the sister projects during the final part of the afternoon in the #ECHOES (Culture Cloud) annual meeting. Not only learning more about what each of the 10 specialised projects (alongside @ECHOLOT_Project) will focus on in terms of tool development, community building and case studies, but crucially - discussing how we can start collaborating. Where lie the community fault lines - where there is space for additional outreach and collaboration, where there is need for integration and resource sharing? I can get behind this effort to avoid duplication of effort and ultimately not waste taxpayer funding.

💫 Just the beginning of the discussion of course, and much more activities planned ahead, including the Integration Task Force workshop planned for tomorrow.

📯 Stay tuned for more updates & read more about all sister projects on the #ECHOES site: https://www.echoes-eccch.eu/echoes-welcomes-10-new-eccch-projects/

🎬 The @ECHOLOT_Project is at the second annual meeting of the #ECHOES (the European Culture Heritage Cloud) in Poznań, Poland, this week.

📅 Today the event is open to the public (with options to attend online, see below) and stakeholders have a chance to hear more about the plans of ECHOES to integrate all sister projects (i.e. all the tools like #ECHOLOT building specialised services for the Culture Cloud) and to build capacity within the European cultural heritage communities.

⚙️ This morning we heard from various ECHOES colleagues on their activities to gather detailed information about community needs through consultation activities (factsheet already available online) and the roadmap for integration of services into the Cloud. A lot of challenges ahead, but great to learn more already about the possibilities for joining forces with and across the Cloud service providers.

I wanted to share this thought with you.

What do you think – especially in the context of visualizing museum and collection data?
Does something like this already exist? What’s considered best practice? Who’s working on this?

Would love to hear your thoughts! 👇

Are AI bots overwhelming digital collections?
A new GLAM-E Lab report shows how scrapers for AI training datasets are putting real strain on the infrastructures of galleries, libraries, archives, and museums. Technical bottlenecks, ethical dilemmas, and escalating costs—open culture is under pressure.

Great #InfraTalk about the question how to define #DataQuality. The presented approach uses a feature-based analysis to review existing quality definitions, focusing on semi-structured, linked data.

Wow! Es gibt offensichtlich einen großen Bedarf an Auflärungsarbeit in Sachen #Normdaten wie diese Umfrage zeigt:
