[open-heritage] Subject: Re: Go Walters Art Museum!

Hello Sarah,

Do you have an idea if there is embedded metadata in the image files that would enable this licensing information to be passed on to reusers?

And if the license includes the terms obliging reusers to guarantee the persistence of that embedded licence?

Best wishes,

Thanks Jonathan for sharing this!

This declaration of sorts and the contribution of over 20,000 high res images from the Walters to Commons, stemmed from a day long workshop similar to what took place at OKFest this year.

I then worked closely with the Walters and Dylan, head of digital new media came down to a GLAM WIKI conference co- planned and hacked out an upload system with MediaWiki hackers. Two weeks later the images were on Commons and being viewed and used more than they ever were simply being on the Walters website!

I then nagged Dylan (literally) about the site copyright. It was using a CC-BY-SA-NC licence. Weeks later.... Voila!

Case study is in the works! :)

Now we have a new project where they are working with Wikipedians to translate Medieval Latin documents. Yes, Latin!

Here is the link to the project page on Commons:

Some amazing content. Use away! (Ideal City over your couch perhaps on a big printed canvas? :) )
