Hi!
Sorry, I'm quite sure I'm re-opening an issue already discussed but I
can't find where; if so, please share the link.
I'm working with cultural items data on wikidata and I'm wondering what
I'm allowed to do when for instance:
- I want to improve the item Q618719 <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q618719>
- I find information in Google Books API
<https://www.googleapis.com/books/v1/volumes/?q=Asterix%20le%20gaulois>
about this item that could help me fill isbn properties in wikidata
(P212 and P957)
Google Books API's Terms of Service
<https://developers.google.com/books/terms> is elusive regarding the
licence but it certainly isn't CC0. Meanwhile, I guess I'm allowed to
copy the information by hand, right? It's just facts about the item, I'm
using this API just like I would have used a newspaper or anything as a
reference, right? But could I automate or semi-automate (à la wikidata
game) the import process without being in infringement with either
Google or Wikidata policies? I would just do the exact same thing -
taking facts somewhere in the world and adding them to wikidata - but
more efficiently, no?
My vision is quite blurred on this, thanks in advance for clarification!
Bests,
Max
