Interviewed at Gov 2.0 – Michael Edson

on YouTube ↗07m

" summary

Describes the Smithsonian shifting policy to treat digitization as core mission, citing 137 million objects with only a small fraction digitized and a push to rebalance priorities toward broad access. Explains crowdsourcing inside and outside the institution, arguing canonical records (trusted curator assertions) plus distributed remixing produce better knowledge. Notes existing projects — the Eye Level blog, the ARG Ghost of a Chance — and a forthcoming Smithsonian Commons prototype that exposes collections and expertise for reuse.
