Hello MCNers!
We are very pleased to point you to our entry in the current challenge:
"Turn Text Soup into Smart Data in Newspaper & Magazine Archives"
(https://goo.gl/99Vn5M)
As two post-cancer #PayItForward Citizen Scientists in Cedar Rapids, Iowa,
we are very pleased to be collaborating with Apostolos Antonacopoulos and
Christian Clausner, two world-class research scientists at the PRImA
Research Center of the U. of Salford, Manchester, UK. Our innovative project
that is the focus of our Knight News Challenge entry will open the newspaper
and magazine collections of the Internet Archive to new levels of Open Data
access and utility.
The current Knight News Challenge is focused on Data. In particular, the
Knight Foundation is interested in innovative ideas for making Open Data
more accessible and useful to Individuals and Communities. All entries,
including ours, are currently in "feedback" (and "applause") mode before
final evaluation by the Knight Review folks.
If you have a few minutes, please drop by and check out our entry. You'll
find prominent links to four short "silent Ignite Talk" video slideshows to
quickly get you familiar with our project. After visiting our entry, please
feel free to sample from among the over 1,000 entries that showcase the
range of ideas folks have about making data more accessible and useful.
Happy-Healthy Vibes,
