Welcome to view an exercise of the many ways of remixing content in Wikidocumentaries and how to license them!

What is this?

What is Wikidocumentaries?

Wikidocumentaries is a maker space for citizen historians. It collects data and content from openly licensed outlets around the world about any topic – people, places, buildings, events and more. The topics cover everything that Wikipedia does, and it is possible to add even more personal, local, or generally less recognized historical topics to Wikidocumentaries.

Wikidocumentaries is made not only for exploration but for reusing the materials that are found in it. It is possible to annotate, correct data, locate and indentify, or use the materials as part of further works. Wikidocumentaries will provide functions and tools for this work.

What is this page?

This is an overview of the licensing issues related to existing and imagined reuse opportunities provided by the site. This page is created as an exercise in the Creative Commons Certificates program, but it will remain as an overview and reference chart for guiding our reuse practices.

If you have ideas or questions related to this exercise, please add them to the talk page. (Unfortunately joining the wiki is still a bit of a pain, but please give it a try! You can also mail wikidocumentaries@gmail.com or use any of the other comms methods mentioned in the menu at the bottom of the page.)

Sources of Wikidocumentaries materials

Wikidocumentaries displays materials from several outlets. These outlets are content aggregators that gather and display material from other organisations.

Images are currently read from the following services

  • Finna, the Finnish content aggregator for museums, archives, and libraries
  • Wikimedia Commons: Images, maps
  • Creative Commons Search: Images
  • Europeana: Images
  • Flickr: Images

Images could be read from these services

  • Ajapaik
  • Topotheques

Licensing

Currently, only media that is compatible with Wikimedia Commons is read into Wikidocumentaries (CC BY-SA or more open). With more detailed control we could display more content but limit reuse of the content if the licenses do not allow that.

Displaying and distributing

  • Displaying the images on a topic page
  • Viewing the image metadata
  • Uploading an image to Wikimedia Commons
  • Downloading an image

Enriching the images

  • Adding or changing the location an image was shot in
  • Tagging the image with available topics
