This is completely up to the community, whether they want this data and the necessary structures for it. It really depends on the scope of the dataset. But here it is the same: there is no way to use this data in short-term for the metadata in Commons. This will be possible in a few months, if you are willing to wait this long.

Best way is probably to describe the dataset (in scope, i.e. what it covers, and depth, i.e. what it says about the covered items) on Wikidata or here, and see if there are opinions about adding this data.

Cheers,
Denny

Hello Denny,

I think we in Europeana had the same problem in the GLAMwiki toolset project [1].
We wanted to submit the metadata we had for Europeana objects to be uploaded in Commons, but that was not fully possible... So we'd have to think of an alternative. Do you think it could happen via Wikidata?

Best,

Antoine

It is a bit early for that question right now.

In the long run we plan to have metadata about Commons media file (current state of the discussion is here: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wikidata_for_media_info ) - but this is planned for 2014.

For now, the Creator template in Commons can not be replaced with Wikidata. There is no way to integrate data from Wikidata in an arbitrary Commons page (which is what you would need in order to replace the Creator template). We have a Bug for ( this https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47930 ) and aim for this in this fall / early winter to be completed.

My assumption would be to, for the long term, create the Creators as items in Wikidata (if they do not exist) and add data to them. But this will not yield any short-term visible results, which is frustrating. So you might want to have a double strategy: add them to Wikidata and add them in the creator namespace, just as you have done so far.

Does anyone have another opinion on this?

Sorry for not having better news right now,
Denny

    hi,

    we are currently experimenting to have, after zb zürich earlier the
    year[1], a second museum from switzerland uploading full quality
    images (i.e. tif format)[2]. i was wondering what is the most
    "wikidata compatible" way of adding a creator information to an image
    like this one:
    https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Soleure_Aa_0012.tif

    the painter winterlin is in the category, has a template including
    personal information, just like the wikipedia article, and the
    wikidata entry.
