Subject: [Wiki Loves Monuments] Canada's Historic Places needs your attention
Hi everyone,
Benoit has a hard time getting in touch with
http://www.historicplaces.ca , they don't seem to be very response so we
need to get their attention. Please use Twitter
(
https://twitter.com/#!/HistoricPlaces
or retweet
https://twitter.com/mdammers/status/215176292658720769) or
leave a friendly message at
https://www.facebook.com/CanadasRegister .
Let's see if this plan B works.
Plan C is to scrape their site. Take for example
http://www.historicplaces.ca/en/rep-reg/place-lieu.aspx?id=16402 . It's
is straightforward to get the:
* PlaceId (number in the url)
* Location (street, city, Canada)
* Latitude
* Longitude
* Name
* Construction date
This appears appears to be factual information, so probably not
copyrightable. I don't dare touch the description. Would this be covered
by other laws preventing us from using this? Database laws maybe?
Maarten
