MingleTerminator added projects: Multimedia, Structured-Multimedia-Data. TASK DESCRIPTION //Migrated from: https://wikimedia.mingle.thoughtworks.com/projects/multimedia/cards/307 // == Narrative == As a user, I want structured metadata for media files, stored in machine-readable way on Commons, so it is easier to view, search, edit, curate and use. As Multimedia and Wikidata team members, we can plan all the steps required to make this possible, so that we know what to do, who will do it and how long it will take. == Acceptance Criteria == Prepare a product and engineering plan for what needs to be done over time, and how we will work with Wikidata on this project. Note:This work is a pre-requisite for many of the multimedia features on our 3-year roadmap. It will require technical as well social changes to current system, using both automated and manual conversions of unstructured data to new system. This work doesn't appear to be technically difficult, but will require a lot of time and tender loving care to coordinate all this with our community. == Wikidata Goals == Wikimedia Commons holds a huge amount of multimedia files available for the other Wikimedia projects and the world to use. Structured data support for Wikimedia Commons is important to make it easier to maintain the files and make reuse, especially 3rd-party reuse, easier. The structured data support comes in two ways. The first is by providing access to the data stored in Wikidata. This includes things like the date of birth of an artist. The second way is by enabling Wikimedia Commons itself to store structured data related to the files stored there. This includes things like the license and subject of a photo for example. When a new file is contributed, the uploader is asked to provide some information like tags, creator name and license in the upload wizard. Users are able to then access and edit this structured data via a form as well as an API (similar to how it is done on Wikidata). It is easy to specify and retrieve the licensing and provenance information of a multimedia file. Additionally it is easy to tag and categorize images based on concepts from Wikidata. Tags and other file information is shown in the user’s language to accommodate the multi-lingual audience of Wikimedia Commons. All this information can be used to easily search for files that fit certain criteria like “picture of a cat and a child from 2010, licensed under CC-BY-SA”. The data is stored on a “data” page attached to the file’s page that is similar to Wikidata’s item pages. Commons is thereby a repository and at the same time its own client as well as a client of [[http://wikidata.org/ | wikidata.org]] . == Related Documents == * **Use cases for key features** to be supported by structured data (both multimedia and VE): [[http://etherpad.wikimedia.org/p/multimedia-visual-editor-wikidata-plans | http://etherpad.wikimedia.org/p/multimedia-visual-editor-wikidata-plans]] • **Wikidata for Media Info** - Proposal by Daniel Kinzler [[https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wikidata_for_media_info | https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wikidata_for_media_info]] • **Wikidata/Multimedia Team Meeting Notes** : See Nov. 7 - Commons section [[https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/p/Wikidata | https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/p/Wikidata]] • **Machine-readable data on Commons** - Community request [[https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Machine-readable_data | https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Machine-readable_data]] == Related Bugs == https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=66108Store media information for files on Wikimedia Commons as structured data == Related Stories == [[https://wikimedia.mingle.thoughtworks.com/projects/multimedia/cards/309 | #309]] Prepare for Wikidata Integration on Commons == Related Changesets ==
