Re: [Wikimediaau-l] CSIRO ScienceImage library now cc-by

[Toby Hudson]

Hi all,

Well I've finally bitten the bullet.  Unfortunately the CSIRO metadata
format wasn't compatible with GLAMtools, so I've written a scraping
script.  The images are now getting uploaded to:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Photographs_from_CSIRO_ScienceImage

I'm not great at clever-auto-categorization, so nearly all the categories
are redlinks based on CSIRO keywords, so any help categorizing these
properly would be much appreciated.

There are some fantastic images here - please start using them in wiki.

Thanks for communicating with them regarding their metadata Liam.  I
promise I'll use GLAMtoolkit next time!

[Liam Wyatt]

Yes indeed, he could very well do it technically speaking (I can't account
for his time - as a volunteer - of course). But it would be great if CSIRO
would do it themselves (even with some behind the Scenes hand-holding as
this would be a big boost for content donations in Australia and in the
sciences.
I've written to them today already to ask directly and, if there's any
specific forward-motion I'll be sure to let folks know.

 Hi Liam,

 I am currently working at CSIRO if that helps. Probably quickest to
 try getting in contact using the details at:

 If that doesn't work I will contact my local PR person to see what we
 can do to get a bulk dump somehow.

Why not ask Fae to do it, he's a pro at stuff like this. I'll leave it up

Hi Toby,
No, I've heard nothing more about this. I'll try to contact them today and
see if they're interested in using the GLAMwiki Toolset directly, rather
than you/someone trying to scrape their site.

Hi Peter / Liam,
Did anyone make progress on this?  I've finally had a look at some of the
images, and we *definitely* want them on Commons.  If nobody finds anything
easier, I suppose I can start putting together a scraping script (but this
may take me months at the rate I accumulate spare time).

Alternatively, load the videos to Archive.org and wait for them to be
recoded OGV. Then transfer the OGVs across to Commons. It's double
handling, yes. But it's also wider distribution for reuse.

Can anyone tell me why Commons and Archive don't have a closer relationship?

Thanks Peter, that would be great if you would use your inside-contacts.
Much quicker and also probably more effective than a cold-call!
Ideally they could pro-actively give us a bulk dump with the metadata that
they specifically wish - it gives them a greater sense of having
contributed to Wikimedia rather than just 'allowing' us to scrape the
website. The other thing is that the videos would all need mp4 -> ogv
conversion. This is not technically hard, but it is annoying.
Perhaps you could see if there's someone you know inside the organisation
who was responsible for that website who could help?

Sincerely,
-Liam

Hi Liam,

I am currently working at CSIRO if that helps. Probably quickest to
try getting in contact using the details at:

http://www.scienceimage.csiro.au/pages/contact/

If that doesn't work I will contact my local PR person to see what we
can do to get a bulk dump somehow.

Cheers,

Peter

[Mark Hurd]

The site as it is has a bit of the Wikipedia "problem": you browse and
it causes more browsing.

Note that there are special cases in this site (some without actual
explanation):
* Some videos have lists of shortcuts to go to specific parts (e.g.
http://www.scienceimage.csiro.au/video/12259/csironet-1985-/ )
* This seems to show the robot's current location:
http://www.scienceimage.csiro.au/image/1503/stealth-robot/ (this is
the one without an actual explanation)
* And, of course, some blurbs do have links (e.g.
http://www.scienceimage.csiro.au/image/1861/3d-printed-toothless-dragon/
).
