have you considered uploading to Internet Archive
and then uploading to commons using IAupload tool?
(this is the normal process for texts)
don't know if that can be automated
i'm afraid i've only done them one at a time
cheers

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
