Hi Hubert,
thanks a lot for the clarification. I did not mean to suggest the bigger
picture was less important, it definitely is worth going after! It
sounds great what you are all doing, I have so little to add to it. It
is only that I wanted to be sure about a few things because it is
relevant for European coordination, hence :)
dear Lodewijk,
for me, an european coordination is essential. but not just for WLM,
even for any other picture-Contest ever happen, or happen in an european
public context. We want all pictures, which are made in such
competitions in future. :-)
Look here, there is a small table (it is just a testsituation since
yesterday!!), where you can see three icons below "Standort":
with one Click, (commons-icon) you can upload your photo (if you have an
account), If you don´t have an account, then you will first be prompted
to create one.
All informations which belong to this property will be transfered with a
link to commons, including the spatial data, Name of the Objekt, adress,
and additionally an object ID. So, the uploading is extremely simple.
Just select the foto, an send it. Thats all. We are even thinking about
to handover the short description of this objekt (if there is an
description).
Because there are already a lot of articles to individual objects, it is
conceivable that even in articles to objects, we can makes a direct link
to upload pictures. Fixed with similar specifications, so that it is
extremlely easy for new User to take part.
During this process, all pictures from this property will also be
correctly categorized inside commons (should be), so we can separate it
easily for the contest itself.
Later then, there will be a link inside the tables to see all/more
pictures of this particular object in Commons. (like: Object in Commons)
Just with one Click. Like this:
This is our plan for this Year. Next year maybe it is possible to
participate to WLM2012 directly from OSM, because we would like to
transfer all our 36.000 Objekts to OpenStreeMap. Maybe even to
GoogleMaps and BingMaps.
In all cases, partipicants will come first to our lists (or articles),
then to the upload-form.
Next Year! Or the following two :-)
regards
Hubertl

Hi Hubert,
thanks a lot for this report. It sounds like an exciting cooperation!
However, it is not entirely clear to me how big the overlap is
with the
Wiki Loves Monuments contest - in any case I love
to hear about
it, but
just to make sure we are on one line. Will the
WLM contest in Austria
also be throughout the whole month September, also have a jury
delivering nominations before November 1, and awarding prizes on
national level?
Hi Lodewijk,
WLM is the central point of all our efforts in Austria for the next
months, it has its own website (as in Germany and in other countries)
WLM is supported throughout by all Wikipedians in Austria.
The last point, jury and prize award is much more the work and
responsibility of Wikimedia Austria. For most Wikipedians in Austria,
this everything around will have no significance.
We will go so far that uploading photos for WLM can also be performed
directly from the the monument lists, directly from the
object, which allows automatically the assigning of every photo with the
individual objekt-ID. During september (and before), all efforts go
directly into the Wiki loves monuments projekt. But, we are looking
further.
The monument lists are completed right now in Austria to 98%. We will
finish all Lists until the end of August, so that we can use it as one
starting point for WlM. And not the lists only, even the related
Community-articles and related Articles.
These additional agreements with the Federal Heritage Office also serve
Wikipedia and Commons as an important tool to become part of the
Austrian education system.
For me personally, WLM is just one part of a much bigger idea. But very
impressive in its very special momentum.
Hubertl
Thanks,
Lodewijk

First report for Austria:
The project Wiki Loves monument takes place simultaneously
with their
own efforts for the acquisition of Austrias
cultural heritage in
Wikipedia. The Dehio-project was started in Austria in
December 2009,
but the systematic recording of the objects
starts this year
on a larger
scale. Particularly noteworthy is that there
are about 80 to 100
austrian Wikipedians who contribute to this project (lists of
monuments).
Cooperation with the Federal Monuments Office (Bundesdenkmalamt)
A delegation of Wikipedians Wikimedia Austria, have brought
about a
far-reaching cooperation with the Federal
Heritage Office of
Austria.
This cooperation involves several steps, the period of the
collaboration
is intended to be permanent.
Wikipedia and Wikimedia Austria are officially a partner of
the Federal
Monuments Office for at first two photo
contests (National
Heritage Day
and International Heritage Photographic
Experience.)
The Federal Heritage Office itself supports the monument list
team of
Wikipedia in extensive form with the
corresponding data for 36 000
objects of all listed properties in Austria.
Especially with regard to the annual update of all content.
This allows
Wikipedia to create monument lists for all
municipalities in
Austria to
create these lists and to actualize those
lists in short term
to bring
them up to date automatically to a great
extent.
The following two photo contests were discussed and agreement
reached.
1. The Heritage Day - especially the photo competition for the
day,
which takes place annually on the last Sunday
in September.
2. IHPE - International Heritage Photographic Experience.
(Beginning in
October 2011 to March 2012)
The Heritage Day
The European Heritage Days are a Community Action under the
patronage of
the Council of Europe and the European
Commission and will
take place
this year for the 25th Time in a now 50
member countries. The
event
itself runs throughout September in Europe,
in Austria on the last
Sunday of the month. The core of the Heritage Day for Austria
will be
the accessibility of listed buildings with
guided tours, which are
usually not publicly accessible. More important, we should
also yield
because of the photo.
International Heritage Photographic Experience
The second agreemanent is also under the auspices of the
Council of
Europe standing photo contest for young
person under 21 years
by the
Federal Monuments Office for the 7th Times
for Austria and is
generally
dedicated to the cultural heritage. Overall,
it is the 16th
competition. The website of the organizers based in Catalonia
(Generalitat de Catalunya, Museo d'Historia de Catalunya)
shows the
14
Competition and pictures of the final event
in Strasbourg.
The purpose of this competition will be photos of all 36 000
monuments
which are listed in the Wikipedia lists of
monuments, which
can then be
assigned directly by id-numbers,
corresponding to the respective
objects. All these photos become part of Wikimedia Commons.
Overall, young people from 50 countries participate in this
event, with
each country organizes the competition on
their own and
perform - as
well as the selection of the winning photos
-, which then
opens into a
common, printed catalog, which is produced in
Barcelona. At
the end of
each year, a large final event (this year on
6 December 2011
at the
Palais de l'Europe in Strasbourg), which
is simultaneously the
start of
the last part of a years contest, because in
March, 31, 2012
is the
closing for upload images for the previous
content.
All photos, which are made in these competitions in Austria
are part
of Wikimedia Commons.
Other projects
MEMORIAL place of learning is the cultural exchange program of the
Federal Monuments Office.
"The goal is to learn together with teachers and students
know
the
areas of Monument, Monument Protection and
Conservation, to
explore and
experience. Whether through projects,
workshops or tours - in
the center
of the monument are a place of learning and
exploration
exploration of
our cultural heritage in the living
environment of children and
adolescents. The meeting opened with monuments young creative
freedom
and develops a variety of talents, so that
perception and
appreciation
for cultural products can grow. "
- Federal Monuments Office, Andrea Böhm
Another project - currently standing in the development phase
- is so
called "monument in the village"
This action helds place in
Austria's
schools and communities to discover and to
motivate people
documenting
their own cultural environment and is
expected to start in
spring 2012.
Wikipedia will also be part of this project, because it is
directly
related to the Wikipedia article-work and
part of the
monuments lists
themselves.
What is the benefit for Wikipedia/Wikimedia Commons?
All taken pictures which have been taken through the years
during all
events are on some hard drives and are not
used for public
use. All the
pictures from this events for the next few
years, will be part of
Wikimedia Commons under a free license given, Cc-by-sa-3.0 AT.
This is
determined by us, the Federal Monuments
Office supports this
idea and
implement it explicitly. The same also
applies for all
photographs that
are done for the day of the memorial. These
photos are part of
Wikimedia
Commons, equally as the photos for Wiki Loves
monument.
Both photo projects aimed at young people primarily - but not
only - in
order to bring the idea of protecting
cultural heritage
values. The
Federal Monuments Office will launch in
schools and other
institutions
in total 137 000 folders, and all interested
participants will
be guided
to upload to the website of Wikipedia and
Wikimedia Commons.
Wikipedians will also participate in the jury (pre-judging /
ev. Main
panel) for all contests, listen above.
