Thank you to @drjoycedotnet from the @fourfourbp for presenting today, and thanks for all who attended in person and via Twitter!
Talking about crowdsourcing for @fourfourbp (cc: @kurtluther)
They found a system for sheet music, but not sure if standard exists for records, cds, singles, etc.
Is there an ISBN-like system for cataloguing music? The librarians are looking into it...
Music samples are linked from third-party sites, which can prove problematic (other sites may be violating copyright, broken links, etc.)
To clarify, current digitized samples available online are physical artifacts like album art—copyright prevents music sampling #OpenAccess
Discussing how to make digital environment a more authentic, record-store-like experience, but right now focus is on "getting it out"
Using album covers, other physical artifacts in simulated environment OK, recordings are more difficult
Copyright issues are problematic for the project—uses links to pre-existing content to avoid legal problems
"I want to take it a step further than just the digital experience—what do we do with this to make it useful in classrooms?" @drjoycedotnet
The site will include both Dublin Core metadata, but also exhibit-building metadata to connect different types of materials
"We want teachers to come to the site, but we also want digital humanists to come to the site" @fourfourbp
The @fourfourbp cross-references secondary material with albums and artists to engage classes in social justice conversations
The project currently has 200 album samples available on their website
Currently demoing the @fourfourbp interface, which provides a digital representation of a physical space to explore
The @fourfourbp is designed to provide a complete resource for using hip-hop in the classroom, including both artifacts and activities
"The great thing about this type of technique is that it allows them a space to enter into those conversations" (2/2)
"We should be developing the social justice capacities of our youth" (1/2)
The question is not only how to archive hip-hop, but how to make an accessible resource for students and teachers
