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]
