8. 4) What are we doing in RESAW? Building on our AHRC project ‘Our Data Ourselves’ Archiving Mobile Digital Material Highly interoperable integration of archives Personal data as linked data? Big Social Data Commons as Archive? Highly iterable environment of data sharing (opt in/out) For critical and innovative use by scholars & invigorated big data citizenship
