Hello everyone, I am Siddhartha Sarkar. Presently I am an MS student in Computer Science in the Indian Institute of Technology at Delhi.
It's a great pleasure to be accepted in GSoC 2017. Moreover being part of the Wikimedia community which is committed to the spread of knowledge in numerous natural languages is an added honour. I am grateful to the community for giving me this opportunity to make an impact. I will try to do justice to the faith the community has kept on me by carrying out my project in a very efficient way. A summary of the project "Single Image Batch Upload" that I will be doing this summer is below. The project aims to create a tool that uploads images from a GLAM to Wikimedia Commons with the following objectives. - To minimize the number of steps. - To make the process of uploading easier for the non-technical users by mapping GLAM's metadata to the Commons metadata automatically. - To enable the user to choose a set of relevant images from a GLAM site and upload them thus avoiding uploading of unnecessary images and minimizing processing time. We create a Flask app that uses OAuth for authenticating the Commons user. After the login the app allows the user to choose a set of images from a desired GLAM and upload them in batch to Commons. In addition we would like to do some metadata mapping for some of the GLAMs so that end user doesn't have to worry about entering image details like creator, licenses etc. In summary we intend to provide a tool to the users to upload images from a GLAM to Wikimedia Commons most efficiently.
