DESCRIPTION:The Digital Archive of Artists’ Publishing (DAAP) is an inter
 active\, user-driven\, searchable database of artists’ books and publica
 tions\, that acts as a hub to engage with others\, built by artists\, publ
 ishers and a community of creative practitioners in contemporary artists
 ’ publishing. It is developed via an ethically-driven design process\, w
 ith support by Wikimedia UK and Arts Council England.\n\nIn this talk\, we
  will highlight how we have drawn upon the working knowledge of users and 
 archivists alike\, to develop a database with sufficient complexity\, that
  affords multiple histories to develop\, confronting issues of authorship 
 and representation\, whilst addressing the challenges of cataloguing often
  deliberately difficult to categorise materials. DAAP is committed to chal
 lenging the politics of traditional archives regarding inclusion and acces
 sibility\, from a post-colonial\, critical gender and LGBTQI perspective. 
 With an emphasis on inclusivity from the start\, we aim to privilege anecd
 otal histories and multiple perspectives alongside factual data\, whilst t
 he wiki style approach means that users can upload and describe their own 
 materials\, choose how to describe themselves in relation to these materia
 ls\, and select appropriate sharing permissions at time of upload.\n\nUtil
 ising Wikibase\, DAAP brings to the surface new and unexpected data connec
 tions across diverse collection artefacts\, providing a resource to link t
 o other archives\, and communities. In the talk\, we will also show how th
 e DAAP implements a custom frontend interface on top of the Wikibase datab
 ase\, which follows familiar user interface metaphors\, increasing accessi
 bility across a broader audience.
