A million first steps
▻http://britishlibrary.typepad.co.uk/digital-scholarship/2013/12/a-million-first-steps.html

We have released over a million images onto Flickr Commons for anyone to use, remix and repurpose. These images were taken from the pages of 17th, 18th and 19th century books digitised by Microsoft who then generously gifted the scanned images to us, allowing us to release them back into the Public Domain.

Merci MS ;-)

Which brings me to the point of this release. We are looking for new, inventive ways to navigate, find and display these ’unseen illustrations’.

The British Library Just Made One Million Images Public Domain, and It’s a Big Deal

Our intention is to use this data to train automated classifiers that will run against the whole of the content. The data from this will be as openly licensed as is sensible (given the nature of crowdsourcing) and the code, as always, will be under an open license.

fabuleux, #data_mining
an early #data_visualization of historical information, but I have no idea what.

Effectivement, c’est particulièrement alléchant !
Apparemment, il y a, au moins, 4 dimensions représentées. Et contrairement à ce que dit le début de la légende — que tu as tronqué —
A good example of how the metadata sometimes isn’t sufficient - this is clearly an early data visualization of historical information, but I have no idea what.
ce qui manque ici ce sont justement les #métadonnées.
À force de se gaver des #metadata de la NSA, on finit par oublier que métadonnées veut juste dire description des données…
PS : apparemment, cette image n’a été reprise nulle part bien que le bouquin dont elle est issue soit réédité.

De la généalogie ?
Mais alors, pourquoi la division en quatre ? Deux générations ?
