Check-in with Researchers[edit]

Mandate[edit]
- What differentiates ACW from Wikipedia
- Wikipedia is world-scale notable, objective. ACW can provide more diverse perspectives, as well as connecting points and stories. acw can create timelines and maps of artsts. Over time, the relationship between artists and organizations can be developed.
- Why ACW is helpful to the average user etc.
- Discovering artists by their name, type, connection
Proposed Mandate
- Asian Canadian wiki is a website dedicated to promoting Asian Canadian community and is a database of all things Asian Canadian - from artists, scientists, leaders, to cultural centres, community organizations to festivals.
Proposed History
- The intent of this site was to gather like minded Asian Canadians from arts and cultural communities to participate in a National Asian Heritage Month Symposium in 2010. Locating Asian Canadian artists, arts organizations, communities and centres was a challenging process. We realized that connecting these communities required more research and development.
The asiancanadianwiki.org was soon created by compiling, Canada Council for the Arts connections, renowned artists, established artist organizations, and re-usable third-party information into a online resource. Spearheaded by Festival Accès Asie, the site was created by a small team of dedicated volunteers to realize objectives for the National Asian Heritage Month Symposium.
With funding from Canada Council for the Arts and with your support, our 2012 goal is to “kickstart” asiancanadianwiki.org with design elements and substantial and credible content. Our hope is that the site will has the necessary visibility and participation to foster connection, culture and community.
