We are keen to hear if you have any ideas of ways to enrich our data, to provide new meaning or add context to the data.
One way that this might be achieved is to use our data in combination with other datasets.
For example, the Open Plaques dataset has information about Dr John Frazer, our dataset has a number of fossils collected by Dr Frazer.
Our dataset contains location data for 1000s of archival photographs – street names and towns – could this be mashed up with map data (open street map or ordance survey datasets) to place these photos on a map?
A number of different datasets which maybe of interest are listed on the datasets page of the History Hack Day wiki – a useful site to have a look at.
Also have a look at the Museums API web page on the Museums and the machine-processable web
Please let us know if you have any suggestions for data sets that we might use with our data via Twitter @WAGhack or add your comments below.
