The Fonte Gaia HackathonLibrarians, Researchers and Users,

a multilevel collaboration

Elina Leblanc (PhD Student, LUHCIE & LIG)

Goals of our hackathon

• Elaboration of participative indexing tool with controlled vocabularies (RAMEAU, Nuovo Soggettario, LCSH).

• Chocolaterie -- France -- Royat (Puy-de-Dôme)

• A way to help users better understand the librarians way of thinking, and to improve their navigation in a digital library (DL).• A way for librarians to standardize keywords and to improve

search functionalities.

18/06/2019 Journée d'étude - Collaborations Chercheurs/Bibliothécaires 2

Organisation of the event

• Three days:• 10 april: Workshop about participation in digital libraries and archives;• 11-12 april: Hackathon.

• 8 participants, 2 teams🍍• 4 experts who helped the participants with their project:• Marion Étasse• Marie-Caroline Favre• Anne Garcia-Fernandez• Samuel Libot


An unusual hackathon

• A pedagogical and initiative hackathon:• Participation of experts;• Workshop which introduced the challenges of hackathon.

• Meeting with potential users ;• Another sight on participative services through their projects.


Participants’ opinions

Le travail d'équipe avec des membres qui ont des compétences et expériences variées. La découverte d'autres projets participatifs lors de la journée d'étude.

La co-participation de personnes ayant des compétences et une formation différentes

Les échanges de pratiques et de savoirs entre des membres du groupe aux profils variés : c'était une excellente occasion de réfléchir ensemble et de découvrir plein de nouveaux

éléments.

Rencontrer, échanger et travailler avec des professionnels d'autres horizons ; mener une réflexion collective et prospective autour d'un projet ; aspect créatif et liberté dans les

propositions


Results of the hackathonFrom cooperation to collaboration

First project: An indexing tool

• First team: Louisa Leblanc, Fanny Mezard, Odile Richaud, Théo Roulet

Second project: An initiation platform

• Second team: Serena Crespi, Marie-Hélène Gatto, Emmanuelle Perrin, Marie Petit

• A platform for students and their teachers, where they can:• Enrich the metadata with new Dublin Core elements;• Annotate and index portions of text (thanks to the IIIF technology);• Transcript and encode text, with an XML-TEI tool.

• Initiation of the students to main DH activities, with the help of their teachers and of the digital library.


And the winner is…

• Two high-quality projects, but… the 2nd project is our winner

• Why?• 2nd project = collaborative and pedagogical → In line with Fonte Gaia;• 1st project =

• Propose to users to “index without knowing it”, i.e. users work for the DL without having conscience of it;

• Lack of transparency about the controlled vocabularies and the activity itself.→ Ethical impediment.


However…

• Due to the high quality of the 1st project, it will also be added to Fonte Gaia, after a fitting of the tool in a public engagement way.

• Two level of indexation:• Work level;• Text level.


A multilevel collaboration

• Perceptions of librarians-users collaboration through the project of the participants:

• Collaboration between (young) researchers and librarians before and during the hackathon.


Collaboration in the eyes of the participants

• 1st project: Cooperative service• Indexation as an on-time activity;• Juxtaposition of knowledge;

• A project in-line with librarians missions, as a support for exploration and serendipity:• Query expansion;• Suggestions of works with similar keywords.



• 2nd project: Collaborative service• DL as an initiation platform to DH and scientific activities (indexation, digital

scholarly editions);• Co-creation of contents by students, researchers and librarians.

• Service that goes beyond the digital walls of the DL;• In line with the librarian mission of training;• In line with the practices of digital humanists → Spreading good practices

with digital.



• Different perceptions of participation, but a similar vision of indexation

• A librarian vision:• A simplified indexation: addition of tags from controlled vocabularies.• Attention pay to the validation of the contributions.

• Indexation: a core activity of their profession with rules and standard;• Simplification as a way to highlight their authority and expertise.

→ Raising awareness to a librarian activity18/06/2019 Journée d'étude - Collaborations Chercheurs/Bibliothécaires 14

Collaboration before the hackathon

• The hackathon is the result of a close collaboration with the librarians of Grenoble:• Expertise of the librarians on the challenge, project management, animation of

workshops, author and image rights.• Expertise of the researcher on digital services and digital participation.

• Hackathon that meets:• My research interests on DLs, their users and their services (participative or not);• The interests of the library on research services and the opening of library to

participative events.
