Hi everyone,
Just trying to use the GWtoolset for an upload and I get the following
error, also when trying an xml that previously worked:
[70ed1b6b] 2016-03-09 15:15:49: Fatal exception of type "MWException”
Any ideas of what this could mean? Thanks!
Jesse

Hi everybody,
If you like nicely decorated books , this one is for you:
Last month the KB used the GLAMwiki toolset to donate 760 historical bookbindings from the period 1100-1875 (public domain) to Commons : https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Bookbindings_from_Koninklijke_B…
The bindings range from sober ones in leather and parchment to richly decorated in textile, silver or tortoise shell. They give a small insight into how historical binding techniques were used and how successive decorative styles developed over time. In the details one can recognize the requests of patrons, the craftsmanship of the binders and the preferences of collectors.
The current donation is a small selection from the larger collection of some 12.000 bindings the KB takes care of: https://www.kb.nl/en/resources-research-guides/kb-collections/bookbindings-….

Hi,
I'm preparing an image donation of some 350 picture books from 1810 to 1880 (taken from the collection http://www.geheugenvannederland.nl/?/en/collecties/prentenboeken_van_1810_t…)
For every book I've constructed an XML file describing the pages (metadata). So eg. for a book of 20 pages I've an XML with 20 records. I can upload these in the normal way via the GWToolset webinterface, also assigning a Commons category to the book.
For 1 book that's doable, but for 350 books I would need to upload 350 XML files, 1 by 1, using the GWT-webinterface (using the same json mapping file for all uploads). But this would take me a lot of time (and it's rather boring)...
So I'm wondering if / how I could automate this. Is there a more direct/efficient way?
I can image that I could do some command line interfacing (Pywiki??), with the XML, the json-mapping and the target Commonscat-name as input parameters. Would that be an option?
Any tricks, tips & directions are very welcome
Met vriendelijke groet / With kind regards
