This is a great development. Not sure if this is helpful to discuss here or
if it is preferrable on the Structured data page? Please advise and I will
copy info there.

In May 2015, Wikimedia NYC supported an editathon with the Guggenheim here
in NYC where the Guggenheim donated 100 images to Wikimedia Commons as part
of a GLAM initiative.
Images:

Pharos added some really great metadata to these image pages, which might
be helpful as a guide for what might be the most deluxe type of Commons
page info breakout -- at least it seems pretty deluxe that to me. :-)

As far as discoverability goes, I think that the use of categories on
Commons is mission critical. I see this requested feature is noted on this
project page. Personally, I don't love the flatness of the category system
on Commons (or Wikipedia actually) because it's not especially faceted, but
I think that this "legacy" issue should be very clearly integrated as this
project develops.There are so many images available on Commons but finding
them is a problem. The file name is often not descriptive enough, and the
metadata might be incomplete or poor. So integration with Wikidata is key,
but again, discoverability is even more important. Otherwise it's just
unlabeled jars on the wall.
And to be a total pain, have existing library resources, like the *A&A
Thesaurus* from the Getty, been consulted to provide controlled
vocabularies and possible copy catalog potential?
Getty Art & Architecture Thesaurus:

example:
http://vocab.getty.edu/aat/300021368
I'm not a working librarian but I think there are multiple semantic
resources for artwork, especially. I remember this one from grad school....
I am cc'ing on of Wikimedia NYC's very active Commons contributor here,
Jim.henderson. I am sure this will be of great interest to folks who
contribute a lot of Commons images and editing.
Well done!
Best,

Fantastic! Is the data from the mediainfo
supposed to appear on the file
page? Or is it meant to be independent?
The plan is to merge it into the file page.
