Eureka, Jared,

Great to meet you as well - a highlight of the day. Here's Zoë - https://youtu.be/tCMZckWp82w - and Eric's Scratch Hour-of-Code Webinar - and here ... http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/01/green-sea-turtle-your-great-scratch.html?m=1 - which I found very inspiring. Was Zoë the person you met? As I write in this blog post, I'd like to explore becoming friends with them both further.

And here's Google Research Football re a remarkable basis for learning machine learning - https://youtu.be/F8DcgFDT9sc ... and the related"

And here this principle 'adversarial-ness' Robotics with competition with machine learning is in WeDo 2.0 for learning -

And the MIT Professor Emeritus of Robotics' name, I mentioned, is Rodney Brooks - https://people.csail.mit.edu/brooks/ - now living I think in the SF Bay Area. And at the very end of this MIT Lego Robot Competition '99 https://youtu.be/SXH-bBw3uxg I think this may be his son, Lane Brooks, - and the ideas these two share - attack or block - may be great initial robotics' principles too. Am curious if he and Harry Cheng (https://research.ucdavis.edu/harry-cheng-cstem/) know each other.

I think my challenge with the MicroBit and the Raspberry Pi you shared with me - thank you! - is to begin to explore coding them with Scratch, Jare! :)

Great to connect, Jared, and looking forward to further related conversation!

The idea regarding the 'Brick Street View' - https://experiments.withgoogle.com/brick-street-view (where 'brick' refers to a Lego brick) -  and newly for Virtual Lego Robotics is kind of this, Jared:

Very nice to have met and spoken with you on Thursday at the Raspberry Pi Meetup meeting -  https://www.meetup.com/ScratchEd-Sacramento/events/265387053/ .

As we talked about as we parted: regarding Pi as a cryptocurrency - which is designed for end users to be mineable - here are 2 resources ...

Greetings - "Understand how new Europeana Entity Agents can be created"

Magnus and Karin,
I had removed the Phabricator address when I emailed you both earlier today, but apparently AI or similar re-included it. (And I've since deleted the comment from Phabricator, Magnus, per your request)
Here's my email which was addressed to just you two. 
Best regards, Scott

Dear Magnus and Karin,
Greetings from the SF Bay Area. Am exploring to -
"Understand how new Europeana Entity Agents can be created ..."
  • and am learning here (having donated CC-4 MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ
& Sch to Wikidata for co-development in 2015 and received WUaS Miraheze
MediaWiki as 'front end' in 2017 as a consequence, but they're not
interoperable yet, and where WUaS has an all-museums' ever focus -
beginning with - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Subjects -
each a wiki subject page for open teaching & learning, and in all 7111
known living languages, as well as in a single interactive iterating
realistic virtual world for wiki-adding too - think Google Street View with
time slider Maps Earth TensorrFlow with SL etc ).
So, since "In Europeana there is nearly no Linked data and Agents is just
about one museum saying that this painting is created by xxx that is the
same creator we see in other museums ...."
I'm curious about what an Agent is here, to begin - and how would such an
agent here work with Linked Open Data?.
In addition, 3 brainstorming items/ questions:
How to plan for Wikidata into WUaS Museum Wiki PAGES (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) -
http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/02/anagallis-arvensis-tour-us-national.html?m=0
...
For example, also from this Youtube video - Crocker Art Museum Sacramento
CA -
https://youtu.be/rL6LTiswXbk - in a related way?
I think as I learn more about how this would work, I'll also learn about
agents, Europeana and Wikidata integration re its structured knowledge
database, and for querying.
Thanks, Scott

Magnus,

Thanks for this in Telegram: 

Getting unique identifiers for pictures in all platforms as we have ORCID for people and DOI for articles is to important ....
Right now we have smithsonian looking into this https://twitter.com/smithsonian/status/1233089929191673856?s=20

Smithsonian
https://twitter.com/salgo60 https://twitter.com/SiobhanLeachman (and 2 others) Thanks for asking! Our team is looking into this now.

First off, what's an Agent in the sense of 'Europeana Entity Agents' and regarding this Phabricator item? And how would it 'act' (as a bot here?)

Cheers, Scott

I checked out Sacramento, first heading to ChinaTown Alley, and then  



... and saw too from the outside at night ...
