Chris Dijkshoorn is the head of the Collection IT department at the Rijksmuseum. This department is responsible for collection systems and builds integration solutions. Before that, he worked as a data manager for the museum. Chris implemented the Accurator crowdsourcing platform as part of his PhD at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam.
Doing research at the Rijksmuseum, British Museum and the Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision provided him with valuable insights in the requirements of institutions regarding Linked Data and crowdsourcing. He applies these insights to create production systems, that add value to the Rijksmuseum.
