Hi Liam,
I am currently working at CSIRO if that helps. Probably quickest to try getting in contact using the details at:
http://www.scienceimage.csiro.au/pages/contact/
If that doesn't work I will contact my local PR person to see what we can do to get a bulk dump somehow.
Cheers,

Thanks Peter, that would be great if you would use your inside-contacts. Much quicker and also probably more effective than a cold-call! Ideally they could pro-actively give us a bulk dump with the metadata that they specifically wish - it gives them a greater sense of having contributed to Wikimedia rather than just 'allowing' us to scrape the website. The other thing is that the videos would all need mp4 -> ogv conversion. This is not technically hard, but it is annoying. Perhaps you could see if there's someone you know inside the organisation who was responsible for that website who could help?

Alternatively, load the videos to Archive.org and wait for them to be recoded OGV. Then transfer the OGVs across to Commons. It's double handling, yes. But it's also wider distribution for reuse.
Can anyone tell me why Commons and Archive don't have a closer relationship?

Hi Peter / Liam, Did anyone make progress on this? I've finally had a look at some of the images, and we *definitely* want them on Commons. If nobody finds anything easier, I suppose I can start putting together a scraping script (but this may take me months at the rate I accumulate spare time). Toby

Hi all,
Well I've finally bitten the bullet. Unfortunately the CSIRO metadata format wasn't compatible with GLAMtools, so I've written a scraping script. The images are now getting uploaded to: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Photographs_from_CSIRO_ScienceIm...
I'm not great at clever-auto-categorization, so nearly all the categories are redlinks based on CSIRO keywords, so any help categorizing these properly would be much appreciated.
There are some fantastic images here - please start using them in wiki.
Thanks for communicating with them regarding their metadata Liam. I promise I'll use GLAMtoolkit next time!

[NB not cross-posted]
There are some great images there thank you - but the metadata is thin, and that has in the past caused complaints from the commons community, when large numbers of images are uploaded.
For instance:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:CSIRO_ScienceImage_1008_Discharging_...
is categorised as "Shipping industry in Australia" and "Pests in Australia" - the dormer is a red link, and the latter applies to the associated text, but not the image - and that text doesn't really describe the image, either.
In:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:CSIRO_ScienceImage_1038_Alcides_meta...
which is categorised as "Insects in Australia", a better category is in the file name: "Alcides metaurus".
While I'd be content to host such images on Commons pending categorisation, and to run activities crowdsourcing such categories - and while this is a useful learning exercise - others may not.
