WikiCite 2016/Proposals/Making wikidata a central hub on data licensing
Proposal
[edit]Background
[edit]WIkidata has a CC0 License. Adding authoritative data sources to Wikidata requires theirs license to be compatible with this. It is not always obvious what license is applicable. A property license exists, so making Wikidata a central hub on information on which license applies to which data source, is straightforward. Wikidata already lists various biological databases. Recently, we noticed that only 2 databases had license statement added [1]. In a concerted effort on social media we were able to get the number to 23 [2]. Also data owners correct incorrect statements on the matter. [3]
Aim
[edit]The aim would be to do a small crowd source experiment at Wikicite to add more licensing statement to items on databases or journals. How complete can we during one event? Below is a list of resource listing Biological databases.
