Nice resource for designing REST APIs. Selected resources (from 3scale, an API Management Platform & Infrastructure)

This is mighty cool! By the same guys at AIT who did the Europeana Thinklab image/maps annotator demo.
I love the projection of historic maps onto google maps and google earth (after you add just 3 control points). Even shows them with varying opacity.

Open Research Area (ORA) in the social sciences: five countries will participate in the next call: France (through ANR), Germany (DFG), the Netherlands (NWO), United Kingdom (ESRC) and the United States (NSF)

We have two broad themes for papers, within the broader area of open content in the cultural sector; sustainability and future models, in particular with reference to engagement with the Wikimedia movement. We welcome submissions both from within the Wikimedia community and from cultural institutions of all kinds, whether or not they have worked with us before. The deadline for submissions is February 15th 2013 https://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/GLAM-WIKI_2013/Call_for_papers

Precomputed statistics of page views for pages that use Wikimedia media files from GLAM institutions. Shows 100M views per month for the British Museum

The GLAM-WIKI project supports GLAMs and other institutions who want to work with Wikimedia to produce open-access, freely-reusable content for the public.

For example, see Mount Everest in 2B pixels. The foot of the mountain is crawling with tents and people

http://gigalinc.co.uk is an immersive exhibit to view gigapixel images captured by the GigaPan.
I see Josh in one of the photos, so I guess BM knows about this

GvMap (formerly GMap, or "graphs as maps").
Cool #Visualization, an invention by Emden Gansner, Yifan Hu, and Stephen Kobourov.

E.g. see interactive Maps of Music, Movies, TVs and Books: http://www2.research.att.com/~yifanhu/MAPS/imap.html

This is incorporated in graphviz: http://www.graphviz.org/News.php/
New Release 2.28 (Summer 2011): The 2.28 release of Graphviz incorporates GvMap.
I have lots of experience with it (contributed back in 1993) and we use it for various things in confluence (PlantUML, workflow visualization, etc).

I think it would be cool to try such visualizations of objects (e.g. paintings), authors, places etc in #ResearchSpace 4 .

• There are some direct relations in BM data (object "Depicts" someone; object is "In the style of" someone), but not a lot about influence between authors.
• Getty ULAN has more relations on influence.
• There are a LOT of indirect relations: objects made from the same material, by the same material culture, at the same place....

I checked Music and indeed it clusters groups in a very sensible way; and shows the most important groups bigger. http://www2.research.att.com/~yifanhu/MusicMap/index.html
I personally live in ProgressiveLand (see below). I know and like most of the groups mentioned.
I just disagree why Rolling Stones would be bigger than Pink Floyd, but guess that truly is a decision of ProgressiveLand’s citizens

Consider using this instead of Exhibit Timeline. this chart is used in Google Finance to show stock tickers, with indication of key events. Eg see this BestBuy chart and click on event "B" to expand the tags of all 10 events at the same date. Observe the events on the right.

That's the YUMA guy and he's doing other very interesting stuff. Eg automatic discovery of place names (toponyms) in old maps, using the OpenCV (open source computer vision) system.
See http://rsimon.github.com/ for short "CV" with links to other softwares.

Interesting research explaining why Rembrandt's paintings are so engaging. Combination of computer vision, computer graphics (Painterly), psychology..
See this poster for fastest explanation: http://ivizlab.sfu.ca/media/posterVSS09.pdf

Google says that it now has 180 partners involved with the Art Project, including Princeton University and Istanbul Modern Art Museum, and more than 300,000 people have created online galleries.. more than 15M have explored artwork .(Link from Mariana Damova)
