Philadelphia Museum of Art copyright policy

Hi M00nchild00, I noticed quite a few public domain paintings at Wikidata:WikiProject sum of all paintings/Collection/Philadelphia Museum of Art are missing an image. I see on https://www.philamuseum.org/webpolicies.html?page=2 that the museum claims copyright on everything including paintings long in the public domain so that's why I didn't upload them. Now with the museum closed for a while, isn't it a good time to start talking about releasing the images that are in the public domain like the MET and Cleveland Museum of Art?

• @Multichill: We are actually in the process of updating our policies to our website to state that we don't assert museum copyright on our public domain images, but these images have been and continue to be available for download. We would gladly have them uploaded to Wikidata. M00nchild00 (talk) 17:15, 6 May 2020 (UTC)
  • That's good to hear! What is the timeline of this? Are you going to indicate what images are in the public domain and what images are still covered by copyright? Multichill (talk) 19:32, 7 May 2020 (UTC)
    • I'm not exactly sure of the timeline or how it will be indicated but currently, works in copyright have their rights information on the object page while those in the public domain just don't have that field and the images are available to to download, i.e. van Gogh vs. Warhol. Hope that helps. M00nchild00 (talk) 13:51, 8 May 2020 (UTC)

Adding Philadelphia Museum of Art person ID (P8317)

Hi M00nchild00, I noticed you're adding Philadelphia Museum of Art entity ID (P8317) by hand. That's quite a lot of work. Do you have access to the data like "Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot, French, 1796 - 1875" for 16601? That makes it easier to use it in tools like OpenRefine and mix'n'match.

• @Multichill: Hi there. I'm waiting to get a master spreadsheet of the data so will be automating in the future but thanks for the heads up. I just did some by hand for fun!

The word "constituent" does not describe the information encoded by this ID. A constituent is a person who votes or determines the course of something (e.g. an elector), or a thing (or person) that is a part of a board or organization (member). Neither of these definitions is appropriate here. --EncycloPetey (talk) 16:04, 28 July 2020 (UTC)

• @EncycloPetey: "Constituent ID" is the phrase we use at the the PMA to refer to all our people and organization records. We thought that updating the label would be more accurate since the current one only includes "person" in the label. Does that make sense? Or we could change to "Philadelphia Museum of Art entity id?" M00nchild00 (talk) 13:37, 29 July 2020 (UTC)

  "Entity ID" would probably be clearer to the international community making use of the information. --EncycloPetey (talk) 18:32, 29 July 2020 (UTC)

  • @EncycloPetey: Thanks! That's helpful. M00nchild00 (talk) 19:29, 29 July 2020 (UTC)
