NDAP in a glance • goal: building national digital archives, preserving national culture (http:// www.ndap.org.tw) • national science program started since 2002 to 2006 • in year 2004, we produced digitization results total size 63.486TB; overall results ~200TB • 15 core projects, including National Palace Museum and other museums, libraries and archives.

What I won't talk about. • technology. But I will mention the utilization and connection of technologies to create communication. • content. But the discussion about various content is important in communication. • medium. But the user experiences in every (connected) medium that forms eCulture.

So I'd like to mention... • technologies. • various forms of content. • connected medium. • and how these components shape the communication in eCulture.

What if communication happens in... • geeks around the world • about digital objects in digital archives among their creators • presenters that made various sources on similar topic / focus / interest • independent web archives of separate mailing lists / BBS boards and sites

from mailing lists to blogs • Amsterdam, Next 5 Minutes Tactical Media Conference, September 2003. • media activists since 70s embrace the technologies of 90s. • the rise of "multitude": close centralized communication to open distributed communication

Slashdot & "Silent Service" • one of the earliest collective weblogs and successful paradigm on earth since 1997 • "News for Nerds. Stuff that matters.", just like CNN in the computer-Internet communities • community power exhibited by "slashdotted"(slashdot effect)

wikipedia slashdotted

wikipedia: collective writing • diff: differences in log file that facilitate collaborative writing • dialogue about the objects • templates facilitate official dialogue • attention filter/ management mechanism.

Blogs. • People do have opinions. • And they love to share with others. • Creative ideas links people cross borders. • all kinds of materials including text, photo/ images (moblog), sound (Podcasting) and video (vblog)

Blogosphere. • the ecology of "producers" and layers of "consumers" • e.g. aggregators like technorati • "harvestor" • Canadian Blogosphere.

Geo-Spatial Annotation • ...as communication.
