• Digital content and relations build on and reinscribe
existing social conditions, including structural
inequalities
British Library Labs @josiefraser
Digital exclusion
“With the proliferation of the Internet, online violence
against women has taken on a global dimension. Online
crimes are not a ‘first world’ problem; they seamlessly
follow the spread of the Internet.”
UN Broadband Commission (2015)

a lot. We need to design for
inclusivity, it doesn't just happen”

What does
open
knowledge
mean?
What makes a resource open?
Cable Green (2016): “two conditions
that should guide your
determination as to whether or not
an item is considered ‘open’:
• Do you have ‘free and unfettered
access’ to the resource? If you have
to pay to retain or use a resource,
it isn't open.
• Is use of the resource governed by
David Wiley's 5Rs of
Openness permissions?”
British Library Labs @josiefraser
“Open data and content can
be freely used, modified, and
shared by anyone for any purpose”
The Open Definition http://opendefinition.org
Open practice
• Supporting the use and
production of open resources
• Accessibility
• Collaboration
• Development
• Co-production
• Inclusion
• Sustainability
• Privacy
• Public Value
• Flexibility
• Customisation/relevance
• Quality assurance
• Open licensing

Wikipedian Residencies
Wikipedians in Residence
• In 2010, Australian Liam Wyatt became the first Wikipedian in
Residence when he volunteered at the British Museum for a period
of five weeks: ”We are doing the same thing for the same reason, for
the same people, in the same medium. Let's do it together."
• Wikimedia UK supported its first Wikimedian in Residence project at
the British Library in 2012. The project facilitated the re-use of the
collections in a number of areas from digitising and releasing
thousands of images of Canada, creating scores of articles about
Chinese Archaeology, and training over 400 staff, academics and
members of the public.
British Library Labs @josiefraser
• Liaises between the organization and
the Wikimedia community
• Promotes understanding of
Wikimedia among staff
• Formally coordinated by the
institution, allowing the resident to
work closely with staff for various
projects.
• Works with staff to organise, compile
and make resources digital
• Facilitates the community
improvement of content rather than
directly editing articles as a core goal.
• Coordinates events, including Edit-a-
Thons
• Builds partnerships between the
Wikimedia communities and an
organization
British Library Labs @josiefraser
Wikipedians in Residence
• Establish links between the organisation and open knowledge
communities
• Provide professional development and capacity building for
organisations
• Support organisational development of strategy and practice in
relation to outreach, engagement, profile raising, education
programmes, inclusion
• Increasing the use of collections for research, commerce, the arts and
learning and teaching
British Library Labs @josiefraser
Wikipedians in Residence: reach
• Bodleian Libraries 74 million views, 8007 files (2.88% in use)
• National Library of Scotland - 86 million views, 1445 files (24.5% in
use)
• National Library of Wales 334 million views, 16,464 files (53.9% in
use)
• University of Edinburgh 12 million views, 59 files (32.2% in use)
• Wellcome Images - 981 million views, 101,670 files* (4.73% in use)
*Wellcome statistics relate to the work of Wikimedia UK volunteers prior to the appointment of the resident, as well as the impact of the residency itself
British Library Labs @josiefraser
Wiki Cymru: gender equilibrium
• In the last few years many edit-a-thons have been
held in Wales encouraging people to write articles
on women.
• Steered by Wikimedia UK Wales Manager Robin
Owain and a strong and committed Welsh
Wikipedia community, supported by Swansea
University and the National Library of Wales
• The Welsh Wikipedia currently has nearly 90,000
articles and is ranked 60th largest out of a total of
284 language Wikipedias all over the world
• December 2016: 9,312 biographies on women and
8,123 of men on Welsh Wikipedia (up from 32% in
June 2016)
• “The number of biographies is now balanced,
which is a big achievement for a small Wikipedia,
but we now need to look at other factors such as
increasing the content of articles from being male
orientated, to being more balanced and gender
neutral.” - Robin Owain
British Library Labs @josiefraser
Celtic & indigenous languages 2017
• Appointment of the UK's first permanent Wikimedian, at the National
Library of Wales.
• The successful appointment and launch of the first Gaelic Wikimedian
in Residence, Dr Susan Ross, in partnership with the National Library
of Scotland
• Wikimedian in Residence at Scottish Libraries and Information Council
(SLIC)
• The first ‘Celtic Knot’ – Wikipedia Language Conference at the
University of Edinburgh in collaboration with Wikimedia UK
British Library Labs @josiefraser
Questions
• In what way(s) do you consider your practice to be
open already?
• What are your priorities? Could open approaches,
including connecting to open communities, help
these?
• What are your concerns about working in the open?
British Library Labs @josiefraser
Thank you!

  • 21. Wikipedians in Residence • In 2010, Australian Liam Wyatt became the first Wikipedian in Residence when he volunteered at the British Museum for a period of five weeks: ”We are doing the same thing for the same reason, for the same people, in the same medium. Let's do it together." • Wikimedia UK supported its first Wikimedian in Residence project at the British Library in 2012. The project facilitated the re-use of the collections in a number of areas from digitising and releasing thousands of images of Canada, creating scores of articles about Chinese Archaeology, and training over 400 staff, academics and members of the public. British Library Labs @josiefraser
  • 22. • Liaises between the organization and the Wikimedia community • Promotes understanding of Wikimedia among staff • Formally coordinated by the institution, allowing the resident to work closely with staff for various projects. • Works with staff to organise, compile and make resources digital • Facilitates the community improvement of content rather than directly editing articles as a core goal. • Coordinates events, including Edit-a- Thons • Builds partnerships between the Wikimedia communities and an organization British Library Labs @josiefraser
  • 23. Wikipedians in Residence • Establish links between the organisation and open knowledge communities • Provide professional development and capacity building for organisations • Support organisational development of strategy and practice in relation to outreach, engagement, profile raising, education programmes, inclusion • Increasing the use of collections for research, commerce, the arts and learning and teaching British Library Labs @josiefraser
  • 24. Wikipedians in Residence: reach • Bodleian Libraries 74 million views, 8007 files (2.88% in use) • National Library of Scotland - 86 million views, 1445 files (24.5% in use) • National Library of Wales 334 million views, 16,464 files (53.9% in use) • University of Edinburgh 12 million views, 59 files (32.2% in use) • Wellcome Images - 981 million views, 101,670 files* (4.73% in use) *Wellcome statistics relate to the work of Wikimedia UK volunteers prior to the appointment of the resident, as well as the impact of the residency itself British Library Labs @josiefraser
  • 25. Wiki Cymru: gender equilibrium • In the last few years many edit-a-thons have been held in Wales encouraging people to write articles on women. • Steered by Wikimedia UK Wales Manager Robin Owain and a strong and committed Welsh Wikipedia community, supported by Swansea University and the National Library of Wales • The Welsh Wikipedia currently has nearly 90,000 articles and is ranked 60th largest out of a total of 284 language Wikipedias all over the world • December 2016: 9,312 biographies on women and 8,123 of men on Welsh Wikipedia (up from 32% in June 2016) • “The number of biographies is now balanced, which is a big achievement for a small Wikipedia, but we now need to look at other factors such as increasing the content of articles from being male orientated, to being more balanced and gender neutral.” - Robin Owain British Library Labs @josiefraser
  • 26. Celtic & indigenous languages 2017 • Appointment of the UK's first permanent Wikimedian, at the National Library of Wales. • The successful appointment and launch of the first Gaelic Wikimedian in Residence, Dr Susan Ross, in partnership with the National Library of Scotland • Wikimedian in Residence at Scottish Libraries and Information Council (SLIC) • The first ‘Celtic Knot’ – Wikipedia Language Conference at the University of Edinburgh in collaboration with Wikimedia UK British Library Labs @josiefraser

  6. World Wide Web Foundation (September 2017) REACT with Gender-Responsive ICT Policy: The Key to Connecting the Next 4 Billion — finds that only a few governments have taken any action at the policy level to increase internet access and use among women. This research outlines the steps that governments must take to develop and implement gender-responsive policies that address the unique barriers to internet access and use faced by women, and calls on policymakers to REACT. That is, to create policy with women and for women focusing on: Rights Protect and enhance everyone’s rights online. Education Use education to equip everyone – especially women – with the skills they need to access and use the web effectively. Access Deliver affordable access to an open web. Content Ensure relevant and empowering content for women is available and used. Targets Keeping policymakers accountable.
