Project aims edit

This project aims to improve the findabilty, visibilty and reusability of KB's collection highlights for both humans and machines by

  1. creating and improving the Wikidata descriptions for all digitised KB collection highlights,
  2. uploading their public domain images to Wikimedia Commons, reusing fields from Wikidata as much as possible to create image metadata
  3. creating and improving the Wikipedia articles about them on Dutch and English Wikipedia

This project follows best practices and lessons learned during the Alba amicorum Jacob Heyblocq pilot project.

Working notes - needs sorting out edit

References will be made to several websites and databases created and maintained by the KB:

  • Wikimedia Commons: The main goal is to have for every collection highlight a folder with the hires single images. This sometimes results in extra folders with lowres single images or with lowres or hires openings. When available the hires images of the openings are downloaded also (put together in their own folder). The single pages (the recto or verso of the pages in the book) are then cut out of the openings images with the Wikimedia Commons crop tool. In this crop tool the precies cutting method is used. Needless to say every cropped image is in itself uploaded as a new image. By using the croptool the information of the originally uploaded picture (with the book openings) is always linked to the newly cropped single page image.
  • Wikimedia Commons: Ideally the names of the images are constructed as follows: Name of work - Inventory number- page number(s)-->
