The project[edit]

Description[edit]

Describe the project or event.

Balinese WikiLontar ia a program to collect metadata and cataloging balinese palm-leaf manuscript in Bali island area to added more reference for Wikipedia, specially Wikidata. The metadata catalog for the manuscripts will include any manuscripts parameter with additional parameters which will collected on site, such as: dimensions, date created, date recreated, the authors/writers, number of pages, origins, coordinates, owners, genre, license, and condition. For rough view, you can see the tables in palmleafwiki, we also try to add the metadata into the article infobox like this one.

At least, there are 25.106 palm-leaf manuscripts exist in Bali, 7.309 lontar in Gianyar regency alone. More information about balinese palmleaf manuscript can be readed here. This project is important for us, because not many efforts even universal register number exist to make the manuscripts known. This project is also first project from balinese wikipedia community which not just to collect palm-leaf manuscripts from 3 regencies (out of 9 regencies and 1 city) but to introduce the wikipedia and its benefit to more broaden society target in hope they also want to contribute more in wikipedia programs.

Motivation[edit]

Why is this project needed? What will it solve or improve?

Until now only 108 subject about palm-leaf manuscripts or lontar exist in wikidata. This projects help to added more palm-leaf manuscripts to wikidata, create first projects in palm-leaf manuscript catalog, contribute quality reference into Balinese Wikipedia and upcoming Balinese Wikisource along with Indonesian Wikipedia. The catalogs will be uploaded in Commons and Internet archive. Many balinese literature coming from palm-leaf manuscript which locally named "lontar". Our target is palmleaf which already preserved by many of the society which still not cataloging and digitizing because of lack of balinese can read and write balinese script anymore. Many balinese palm-leaf already has catalog in Internet Archive. We try to collect and cataloging palm-leaf manuscript data not only in available formats also OUTSIDE the archive or Balinese Wikisource catalog.
