Data Journalism. Data Archiving
Lecture by Joan Soler
The Data Journalism work sessions aim to be practical meetings with two objectives: to learn about and delve deeper into working with data through workshops, and to present and showcase local projects.
Data archiving has to allow a change in the classical view of archives and open them up to the general public more than ever before. The new paradigm of archives includes understanding them as pools for the distribution of released, historical data with a context and above all that is useful for everyone. Datafication, at the same time, has become the final frontier that archives need to overcome: it is necessary to offer data in exploitable formats and offer tools that facilitate data selection. This is the philosophy applied at the Terrassa Historical Archive (AHT) and at other institutions. Joan Soler explains how they work at the AHT, what data archiving involves, and what it can offer.
