Hi Rubén, I would be able to help you use the GLAMwiki Toolset if you would like. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:GLAMwiki_Toolset
The first thing you need is to get the user-permission for the account you will be using to do the upload. The instructions for setting up are here: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:GLAMwiki_Toolset#Instructions Step 1 is to create a user-account here: http://commons.wikimedia.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki/Main_Page and ask for the user-permission on Beta: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Extension:GWToolset#Asking_for_user_rights This is where you can do your testing. We can then work on step 2 (whitelisting the GLAM's domain) and 3 (exporting their metadata in XML) but we can do that offlist ;-) By the way - when you say 'their files are not in public domain', do you mean that the GLAMs are going to share their own copyrighted images under a free license? In which case - that's great, congratulations. However, if they're not - then you'll need to negotiate that first, before we even start with the technical side of uploading. Sincerely, -Liam / Wittylama wittylama.com Peace, love & metadata On 8 September 2015 at 22:10, Rubén Ojeda <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello everyone! > > From yesterday until January 7, 2016, Wikimedia Spain enters three > state museums, the Museum of Romanticism, the Museo del Traje (Costume > Museum) and the National Archaeological Museum, where I´ll work as > wikipedian in residence. > > Besides promoting the Wikimedia projects in the three institutions, it > will be carried out various activities open to the public, like > edit-a-thons and training sessions, aimed to explain how Wikipedia > works and generate content related to the museums and their > collections: the nineteenth century in Spain, fashion, ethnography and > archeology.
