Absorbing media from the world's open repositories

Reading media from all over the world

Wikidocumentaries presents Wikimedia content alongside Free Cultural Works from open repositories and allows the user to use their combined information.

  • Images from national or transnational GLAM aggregators and APIs of large media institutions are read via API's and displayed in the Images section.
  • The available information is mapped to Wikidocumentaries metadata schema for uniform display. All the information at this stage is generally textual. The user may browse the information in the image viewer.
  • The user may import one or more images to Wikimedia Commons, where the media file can be enriched with structured data. The enriched SDC files are displayed alongside all media form the different outlets in the Images display, but they just have extra powers.

Enriching the media

SDC images can be further enriched with tools made available in Wikidocumentaries. Such existing and desired tools include:

  • Associating text-based metadata to Wikidata items.
  • Annotating regions of the images with Wikidata items.
  • Geolocating the images
  • Curating media collections
  • Creating Wikidocumentaries based on media collections

Machine Learning opportunities

  • Train to recognize the API output and map it to Wikidocumentaries schema

New opportunities

The enhanced information will result in for example

  • More accurate image results from Wikimedia Commons
  • Possibility of automatically creating Wikidocumentaries
  • Possibility to compare and enrich the data from the different sources for the same images.

Choosing the main image

  1. Image P18 in the Wikidata item
  2. Main image in one of the related Wikipedia articles
  3. The first image in the images listing, not a pdf

Image grid

  • The result set is displayed in a justified view. Use the Flickr grid code available for Vue here? The script requires the image dimensions to be known to produce the grid. Can we get any of this info in the API results or must we wait until we have the images loaded?
  • 60vh and two rows of images are displayed and more can be viewed (by scrolling horizontally or by querying more images gradually).
  • Possibility to open a separate Images discovery window for browsing images in a full page window.
  • Rephoto and original photograph are displayed as a pair.
  • Adding images via an action in the Images toolbar Actions menu. > Add image tool / modal?

Image tasks

  • Grouping – Select a group of photos that were shot at the same occasion
    • Could be automatically suggested by exif data?
    • Creates a collection, which is tagged with all appropriate properties and displayed in either the image section or a collections section
  • Record common disambiguation items and tag those images.
    • When anyone removes an image from the collection and gives the correct topic to link to, this topic is saved in the "Different from" property.
  • Select images for the header
    • These images can be used as item images in Wikidata. Other specific types of images can also be tagged (night view, coat of arms, flag, image of the grave...)

UniE006 - funnel.png Facet and sort

Images can be filtered based on their properties. Initially everything is selected. Selections filter out content. UI for selecting has not been fully developed. Unselected may be dimmed or selected may be highlighted. It must be possible to make several choices. There must be a way to see the full selection of properties. Reset by section may be needed. Number of images by facet is needed. Sorting uses the same controls, and is attached to only a few properties. Sorting by location means sorting by distance. Sorting by several criteria has not been defined.

Search conditions

Images listing

  • The search now produces 20 images from each repository. They are not ordered.

Search language(s)

It is important to use search terms in the languages that the repository uses.

  • The languages of the repository could be saved as the search languages, in the repository entry in the local Wikibase.
  • The topic may have an original language
    • nationality --> languages spoken?

Keyword search in search language(s)

  • Topic label and aliases.
  • Use additional name fields, if available
    • official name (P1448)
    • birth name (P1477)
    • short name (P1813)

Make use of authority IDs

Limit search to certain fields if necessary

  • Topic search
    • Finna.fi: filter[]=~topic_facet:"Topic"
  • Creator search
    • Finna.fi: The subject is the creator of the image (or the work depicted in the image): filter[]=~author_facet:"Author name"

Search by location

  • Finna.fi: The image is within the coordinates of the subject: filter[]={!geofilt sfield=location_geo pt=lat,lon d=dist}:""
  • The subject is a location of the image: filter[]=~geographic_facet:"Place name"

Filtering

  • Find only certain file types
    • Finna.fi
      • The search result is an image: filter[]=~format_ext_str_mv:"0/Image/"
      • The search result is an artwork: filter[]=~format_ext_str_mv:"0/WorkOfArt/"
  • Filter out certain file types
    • Wikimedia Commons
      • Signatures, flags, sounds, location maps etc. could be filtered out and displayed in other sections instead

How to search Wikimedia Commons in general??

Include subcategories in Wikimedia Commons

Copyright and licenses

  • Images with no redistribution rights should be filtered out if found.
  • Creative Commons NC and ND images could possibly be displayed but they could not be reused, or they could be filtered out altogether.
