Coding da Vinci - the first open cultural data hackathon in Germany

By Helene Hahn (Open Knowledge Foundation Germany), Anja Müller (Service Centre Digitalization Berlin), Barbara Fischer (Wikimedia Germany)

Coding da Vinci gives German cultural heritage institutions the possibility to meet with designers, software and game developers, to foster and share their expertise in order to realize digital projects for the cultural sphere as well as the public. Through this productive cooperation the institutions obtain new perspectives on their digital treasure troves, and the visitors experience entirely new forms of interaction with the cultural artifacts. Over 325 thousand media files were opened by the institutions for the hackathon last year, 17 projects were developed for 10 weeks and presented to the public.

Coding da Vinci is a collaborative project conducted by German Digital Library, Open Knowledge Foundation Germany, Service Centre Digitalization Berlin and Wikimedia Germany. Coding da Vinci will take place in Berlin (25th/26th April, 5th July 2015).
