History of the Basque Country in 100 objects
Demo / Transmedia project A GLAM project to show the history of the Basque Country in 100 objects displayed in museums. We are currently prototiping new transmedia ideas beyond articles, so any proposal to improve the project will be interesting.

Governance of a collaborative visual name authority
Software / Governance To apply facial recognition technology to enhance descriptive metadata of heritage photo and video collections, a qualitative reference set of the people to be recognised are key. That's why we want to make a shared/collaborative visual list of person names of public figures in Flanders (Belgium). It will consist of:
- an overarching list of relevant personal names that are uniquely and unambiguously identified and linked to existing authorities;
- the creation of a shared reference set of portrait photos of relevant individuals for facial recognition.

Dreaming of workflow for digital humanities
Software / Demo / Design project What keeps you back from unleashing the full power of free tools for digital humanities? Is it the hassle of figuring out the right version of Python or the confusion surrounding your system's specs?

Designing human-scale permission for machine-scale operations
Discussion / Paper prototype We want to work on how to ensure Flickr members are aware of, and give permission for, their images being used as training data in AI systems. The horse may have left the stable, but we at flickr.org think it's an important piece of ethical friction that has been lacking in loads of social platforms. Whether this is drawings on paper or a conversation, we'd love your input.

Preference Signals in Open Culture
Paper prototype CHIs have a wealth of material, and data, that is increasingly coming online, through our shared efforts in the Open Culture Movement (CC, Wikimedia, and others.) And so the data of the world's cultural heritage collections is also becoming available for analysis and interpretation and ingestion by AI softwares.
CC is exploring preference signals for creators but their application and interpretation is potentially relevant to CHIs everywhere as well and so we would like to explore that together. As with the Licenses we are approaching preference signals broadly and considering the variety of ways that may make sense to indicate a use is preferred.
Besides the implications of preference signaling in CHI’s we want to explore their implementation given legal certainty or uncertainty. Where it is also relevant to explore is whether CHI’s would be allowed/should be allowed to indicate preferences on behalf of the creators.Connor Benedict

Generate alt-texts for historical images
Demo Can we make historical images searchable using AI, without relying (much) on the metadata, similar to the prototype by the National Museum of Norway? There are two image sets among the AI Sauna Resources as well as a vector database, and LUMI for running AI models, these could be combined into a prototype.

Summary of all knowledge
Software I want to create a software component that creates a summary text using all Wikipedia language editions of a topic. I would use this text in the Wiki Loves Living Heritage pages such as the page on Chhau dance
