Abstract

GLAM (Gallery, Library, Archive, and Museum) institutions have been making digital collections available for decades. New initiatives to publish, preserve, and reuse data have emerged, with collaborative projects such as Wikidata playing a significant role. This work provides a framework for extracting multimodal collections as data, using Wikidata as the primary source, along with a selection of research scenarios for reusing this data in line with emergent trends in data publication and reuse. Results showed that current trends in data preservation can be achieved through open-source code, cloud services, and collaborative platforms. Future work to be explored includes adopting best practices for provenance documentation and refining reuse scenarios.
