Bill Caraher wrote an interesting blog reaction to our recent paper https://doi.org/10.11141/ia.71.3 about Open Context.

He looks at the precarity of so many of our universities and libraries, and looks for alternative, more distributed models for the curation of research data in #archaeology and beyond.

Deck officers may have wondered "Why am I capturing this information and will anybody ever bother to read it?"

Finally answered. 🙂

"Ship logbooks represent a critical source of historical meteorological data, providing valuable observations of barometric pressure, air temperature, sea surface temperature, wind force and direction, and other variables. Substantial quantities of these records are unavailable to climate science as they have not yet been transcribed. We present ‘Weather Rescue at Sea’, a citizen-science project which transcribed millions of weather observations contained in 19th Century UK Royal Navy ship logbooks. We describe the logbook structure and weather observation-taking instructions and discuss significant challenges with the translation of handwritten text into accurate data due to errors arising from ambiguous handwriting, historical terminology, and inconsistent metadata."
