Hi Magnus and Karin,

Re further conversation, thanks Magnus for the Europeana - https://www.europeana.eu/portal/en - information in Telegram. Am partly seeking to answer my own questions regarding World Univ & Sch in my email to you, from the links you provided.




. . .

My 3 brainstorming items/ questions:

How best to plan for Wikidata into WUaS Museum Wiki PAGES ~ https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Museums ~ (at MIT OCW-centric WIKI World Univ & Sch, which again is planning to create wiki pages for all museums in all 7,111 known living languages) ?
How to plan for Wikidata into 1 wiki realistic virtual earth (think Streetview with group-buildable Second Life with avatars, but realistic)? ... (and regarding a new social science method i'm developing called -
ethno-wiki-virtual-world-graphy - with linked open data - see in general
http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/ethno-wiki-virtual-world-graphy?m=0 )?
And how even to add new images of paintings taken by someone wearing Google Glass to Europeana or Wikidata? Google Glass is here (and the idea too) -

. . .


And since World Univ & Sch's front end wiki subject pages are a bit like Wikipedia's - eg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Europeana with its Info Box which draws information from Wikidata, for ex. - eg https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P7704 - and which 'structured knowledge database' World Univ & Sch - eg https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Museums - will draw from in a similar way, I'm learning here. Thank you for this edifying conversation. 

So I next added "Europeana - digitalized museum collections' link https://www.europeana.eu/" newly to the WUaS Museums' page - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Museums - which one main idea for WUaS.

And further, with an interest in facilitating wiki-adding photos to a realistic virtual earth such as Google Street View, I found the Louvre museum in Paris in Google Street View (with its TIME SLIDER) - https://www.google.com/maps/place/Louvre+Museum/@48.8606111,2.337644,15z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0xb975fcfa192f84d4!8m2!3d48.8606111!4d2.337644 . 

I then found in Europeana the main page for the sculpture "The Winged Victory of Samothrace - Nike" which is in the Louvre - https://www.europeana.eu/portal/en/search?q=winged+victory+of+samothrace - and then some images for Nike in Europeana - https://www.europeana.eu/portal/en/record/2020903/KAS358.html?q=winged+victory+of+samothrace#dcId=1583003660830&p=1 . 

I then found "Nike" itself in Google Street View - https://www.google.com/maps/place/Louvre+Museum/@48.8606111,2.337644,3a,75y,90t/data=!3m8!1e2!3m6!1sAF1QipPoR96VgFEXkk2nZScqIJAuNcI1_iLABGbZaPnh!2e10!3e12!6shttps:%2F%2Flh5.googleusercontent.com%2Fp%2FAF1QipPoR96VgFEXkk2nZScqIJAuNcI1_iLABGbZaPnh%3Dw203-h270-k-no!7i3024!8i4032!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0xb975fcfa192f84d4!8m2!3d48.8606111!4d2.337644 - and if I had taken an excellent and unique photo (or video with docent presentation) of "Nike" I'd consider adding it to Street View as well, when and where I was standing in the Louvre I took it, so that this might become eventually part of the basis for an interactive Realistic Virtual Earth for Museums. (Now how to add many different Nike photos into a Realistic Virtual Earth for Museums in Google Street View with time slider for academic research and knowledge generation, and visiting too at different times in the Louvre's history, and in different ways? - is one question). 

But how further to engage Wikidata regarding Europeana newly in Wikidata - and in World University and School's developing, conceptually, realistic virtual earth for museums (and archaeology!)? 

Am thinking this through here, and learning about Wikidata (which WUaS is in) ... and newly with regards to Europeana. Have added some of our communications here already - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/02/aurora-prepping-for-pi-day-with-scratch.html . (Sorry I don't speak Swedish - and thank you for your understanding of English, Magnus and Karin!) 

Regards, Scott

Winged Victory of Samothrace


The context of the Winged Victory of Samothrace, discovered in 1863, is controversial, with proposals ranging from the Battle of Salamis in 306 BC to the Battle of Actium in 31 BC as the event being celebrated. Datings based on stylistic evaluation have been equally variable, ranging across the same three centuries, but perhaps tending to an earlier date.[3] For much of the 20th century, the prevailing theory, based on the works of Hermann Thiersch and Karl Lehmann, considered it a Rhodian monument dedicated following the victories at Side and Myonessos in 190 BC, and suggested that it might have been carved by the Rhodian sculptor Pythocritus.[4]However, by the mid-2010s, the reconstructions of the monument proposed by Lehmann have been shown to be false (the remains of the surrounding space that housed the Victory belong to the Roman period), and the question of why the statue was dedicated on Samothrace, which at the time was dominated by the Greek Kingdom of Macedonia, remains unanswered.[5]

In my
"Gazing at the Box:
Tourism in the Context of the Internet and Globalization (Internetity)"
UC Berkeley paper, which is new social theory, I also explore questions of virtual tourism with regard to the Louvre as well ...



Gazing at the Box:
Tourism in the Context of the Internet and Globalization (Internetity)
http://scottmacleod.com/anth250v.htm


New social science / anthropological / sociological 'condition': Internetity, like modernity and post-modernity?


...

At beginning of paper:

"In this paper I suggest that modernity yields one interpretation of touristic experience, postmodernity may construct another, and Thurot and Thurots’ interpretation of advertising discourse produces yet another. Tourism,[1] now, in the context of the growth of the Internet and information technology[2] ("internetity") supersedes and incorporates these previous analyses and produces other interpretations of tourism with characteristics which I shall identify."



And at end:

"In conclusion, I want to suggest that globalization and the Internet create new conditions of social existence where the societal dynamic of integration (due to globalization and digital technologies) vs. cultural identity contributes to reshaping the touristic experience. For tourism, which is now global in scope, the Internet amplifies, facilitates, and extends the tourist’s opportunities, knowledge-base and experience.

 As both digital and mobile tourism increase in the context of globalization, the potential for cultural integration also increases, reshaping cultural identities. Internet touristic discourse, in potentially superseding and incorporating modernity, post-modernism, and advertising touristic discourse, shapes a new hyper-touristic experience."

Re: [GABA-STAMMTISCH] Looking for German children's books


Regarding the GABA question:

Hi,
I am looking for German children's books to rent or buy. Please let me know if you have any ideas.
It's very important to me that my child learns German.
Thank you!


...

World Univ & Sch, which is MIT OpenCourseWare-centric and Wiki, seeks to create online libraries in each of all ~200 countries' main languages, and in German early on, but doesn't have any children's books yet. 

Here are some related World Univ & Sch wiki subject pages for open teaching and learning- 

Children's Literature and Wisdom
https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool. org/wiki/Children%27s_Literature_and_Wisdom
Children's Literature and Wisdom - World University and School Wiki




Planning all online libraries in German - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool. org/wiki/Library_Resources


Singing for Kids / Children - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool. org/wiki/Singing_for_Kids_/_Children (planned in German)

Germany World Univ & Sch - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool. org/wiki/Germany (planned in German with online free-to-students' MIT OCW-centric Bachelor, Ph.D., Law, M.D., and I.B. degrees)


And does the Staatsbibliothek Muenchen and its amazing children's library lend online yet?
