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
- I find information
in Google Books API about this item that could help me fill
isbn properties in wikidata (P212 and P957)
Google Books API's Terms of Service
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
