Wikimedia Sverige is proud to be the recipient of $55,000 in support from the grant-giving organization Kulturbryggan (Culture Bridge) for a project investigating how to best include audio files on Wikimedia Commons.
Our work will focus on batch uploading audio files onto Wikimedia Commons (with a focus on music recordings). In preparations for this, we will investigate how the metadata can be included in a way that is best suited for Structured Data once it gets deployed. This is a pilot project where we aim to discuss with the community what to include and what to exclude. The discussions and the requests from the community will form our planning around future work with uploading audio files onto Wikimedia Commons. We look forward working with the community and with the Structured Data team at Wikimedia Foundation on how metadata about audio files can be included in a well-structured and useful way.
This project will connect very closely to the FindingGLAMs project[1] and will form one of the case studies included in it. In the case study we will provide guidance for other GLAMs and Wikimedia affiliates who want to upload audio files in the future.
The project also connects closely to Wikimedia Sverige’s planned project aimed at building tools to collect speech recordings. The recordings, illustrating how words are pronounced etc., will then be used to improve the quality of Wikispeech[2], a text-to-speech (TTS) system that converts written text into speech. We want to see what type of speech recordings can and should be stored on Wikimedia Commons and what kind of metadata should be included there; this project will help us clarify the needs.
Please contact John Andersson (john.andersson@wikimedia.se) if you have any questions.
As always, you can find the full application available on our wiki (in Swedish).[3]

Congrats John and the WMSE team! This is such important work that will expand the horizons of Commons. And as Gnangarra mentioned re oral histories, it also has important implications for handling a broader diversity of sources in our movement.
👏👏👏👏👏
