[#opendata] Mise en ligne (enfin) du jeu de données "archives" (2024) : data.gouv.fr/fr/datasets/jeux-

Aka : catalogue des #jeuxdedonnées en open data des services d'#archives 🇫🇷 (ou assimilés)

286 jeux de données actifs (un peu + qu'en 2023), mais peu de nouveaux entrants > Peut mieux faire !

(l'an prochain je supprimerai des champs parce que created_at > last_modified ça fait pas crédible. Mais j'ai rajouté les downloads)

Open Context has been getting overwhelmed by bots. Again. Huge range of IP addresses, many, many user-agent strings that look like human controlled browsers, but all accessing random pages of content.

If I'm blocking your IP address and you want #opendata in #archaeology I apologize.

If anyone knows mitigation strategies, please let me know. It's one more form of bullshit that makes the political and cultural calamities feel even more overwhelming.

Update. "The Data Hoarders Resisting Trump’s Purge. Can #librarians and guerrilla archivists save the country’s files from #DOGE.

(#paywalled)

"Lynda Kellam, a social scientist and data librarian,…who’s served in leadership positions at two Ivy League universities, described the vulnerable data as “irreplaceable.”…Kellam told me that she’d participated in a small data-preservation effort during Trump’s first term, but had never seen anything like the frenzy that ignited in late January, when the #CDC began removing information from its website. Kellam was encouraged, but worried about a lack of coördination. What if the backups languished on private hard drives? What if archivists duplicated one another’s work? She created a Google Doc to centralize information about preëxisting initiatives—an archive of archives, with detailed instructions on how to contribute to each…Kellam met with the heads of other data-librarian organizations, and together they founded the #DataRescueProject."

Update. "#APDU [Association of Public Data Users] Statement on #Education Research and #Data"
apdu.org/?p=5812775

"On Tuesday, March 11, 2025, over 1,000 staff from the Department of Education [#DOE] were laid off. This includes almost all staff from the Institute of Education Sciences (#IES), which housed the National Center for Education Statistics (#NCES)…NCES is mandated by law to report on the condition of education annually, collect and disseminate key education data, and support state and local education agencies…The [layoffs] make it unclear how NCES will meet its legal obligations under the Education Sciences Reform Act, Every Student Succeeds Act, the Information Quality Act, and other federal laws…Congress and policymakers must act to ensure NCES has the resources to meet its statutory obligations. Stakeholders—including researchers, educators, and state leaders—must demand transparency on how education data will be maintained."

Quand on milite pour l"#opendata comme moi, les données personnelles sont une ligne rouge.

L'activisme pour la publication large des cahiers de doléances me semble un peu démagogique, et surtout montrer une mauvaise connaissance des règles d'accès aux archives publiques, qui sont parfaitement adaptées à ces documents bien particuliers.

L'accès privilégié pour les chercheurs et les archivistes est plutôt bon signe pour l'état de droit. Ça ne veut pas dire qu'il est exclusif.

Des sources historiques sur des #femmes pendant les révolutions de 1789, 1830 (surtout) et 1848 !
A défaut d'avoir sous la main des photographies de documents originaux, une #datavisualisation du jeu de données en #opendata
