Community Wishlist Survey 2022/Multimedia and Commons/WikiCommons metadata analysis tool/Proposal

From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki
  • Problem: Metadata of images is constantly being improved thanks to crowdsourcing, either on the database of a GLAM or on Wikimedia Commons itself. In order to keep the metadata up to date on all systems, a tool would be needed to compare, upload and download the metadata from/to Wikimedia Commons.
  • Proposed solution: A general GLAM analysis tool that compares the metadata of the GLAM sources with metadata from other sources in Wikimedia Commons. Ideally a solution withOpenRefine or Pattypan. Procedure/Rules: Export metadata from GLAM (xls/csv); Prepare tables for the analysis toolLoad tables in analysis tool; Get/extract Wikimedia Commons Metadata; Compare metadata (i. e. highlighting the differences) and decide; No change -> ignore; Changes by GLAM -> upload the update to WikiCommons via analysis tool; Changes by WikiCommons -> create new csv file for uploading to GLAM.
  • Who would benefit: GLAM Institutions on WikiCommons
