Seconded here. Surely the objects are PD, but the
photographs are
definitely not, so you probably want to add the CC-zero template as
well. It's a bit of a shame that the metadata isn't very clear on the
license, but for now i guess just checking if the 'copyrightHolder'
field is null or false is the best way forward. I did a little check
and copyrighted works have a string in that field *and* the 'webImage'
field is false (where PD works have an object there with image
information).
It is a good improvement which I'll implement in the next run. In the
permissions field, I may link to the terms as below...
I have updated the project page with:
Licenses chosen can be based on this statement ''"All data and all
images made available through the API are either in the public domain
or are subject to a CC0 license."'' found
[
https://www.rijksmuseum.nl/en/api/terms-and-conditions-of-use here].
This should mean that the photographs are themselves released as CC0,
with copyright of the art object being a separate issue (sticking to a
cut-off of before the 20th century should mean PD can apply).
Are you in contact with people from the Rijksmuseum by
the way? If you
want i could introduce you so they could have a look at the sample
upload as well.
Through David H. and Sebastiaan I am. I think it all looks okay, but
I'm thinking that when the first 200 go "live" it may be worth pausing
for a day or two for any feedback, and have a group call then, if
there is anything that could be done better. I'm in no hurry, so
waiting for feedback is not an issue.
And thanks so much for the project page describing the
upload
progress, i'll be adding those for the National Library / Archive
uploads as well.
It is good practice, I think we should make it best practice for any
GWT projects that are of any significant size (more than 1,000
images?). :-)
*Everyone* please remember to update
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:GWToolset_users> with a
note about your planned GWT projects, along with links to the project
pages so that our volunteer community knows where to go with questions
and suggestions.
