5. "The most important thing for a
thriving musical world is a bedrock
of enthusiastic amateur music-
making. The Bodleian Library's
new project shines a light on a
time when this fact was thoroughly
understood, and when musicians
of quite modest technical
accomplishment could encompass
something of the current musical
styles. A knowledge of day-to-day
playing for pleasure in Victorian
times will reinforce twenty-first-
century initiatives in public
engagement...”

12. Discussion points
1. SALAMI
– Human vs computer, and Web vs repository
– What is in the digital library?
2. Semantic Media
– End-to-End semantics, from production to delivery to
cumulative value through use
3. Social Machines
– Sociotechnical entities as first class citizens
– Theory and practice, design and construction
4. Social/Semantic/Computational Objects
– New digital artefacts (in the digital library?)
– Machines are users too: computer assistance, not
automation/Taylorisation

Notas del editor
Big Data and Big Compute and Big Society!Look at astronomy for exampleDifferent rates of progress along axes – one futurological theory says we need a lot more machine to assist because machines scale further than people
