Dear Ms.,
I thank you for your answer. This will be an honour for me. Unfortunately, the method I
have described is not used yet for medical images in Wikidata. However, it is used in
other databases. I can help in doing this. However, I will need an exhaustive list of all
the techniques used to create medical images: CT, MRI, ECG, histopathology... Another
interesting method can be the establishment of an Excel spreadsheet in which you put the
images and corresponding diseases and techniques. Then, we will use QuickStatements to
import all the statements to Wikidata.
Yours Sincerely,

Objet : Re: [Wiki-Medicine] 2000 pathology images by Dr. Yale Rosen to Wikimedia Commons
Dear Diptanshu and Houcemeddine,
Given a choice, I would want the images be under CC0, but in this case it was Dr.
Rosen's choice to keep it under CC-BY-SA. I sent him details regarding compatible
licenses for Wikimedia, and he chose to go with CC-BY-SA. I respected his choice and
thanked him for the license change. I could have been more proactive and encouraged the
use of CC-BY, but I didn't see good chances of that discussion meeting with success.
I agree with Houcemeddine's suggestion of having a more refined way of using images on
Wikidata. But, I am unable to find any examples where this approach has been used. Has
this approach been discussed on Wikidata? I am all in support for separating out
CT/ECG/histopathology/gross pathology images on Wikidata items, but I don't yet know
if this has been the norm. Houcemeddine, can you help me with this? Please also help me to
integrate these images to Wikidata if you are interested.
Regards

Dear Ms.,
I thank you for your answer. As explained in
https://doi.org/10.1016/J.JBI.2019.103292,
Wikidata lacks support of images of medical items (Symptoms, Diseases, Medical signs,
Medical techniques and tests...). The initiative of Dr. Yale Rosen in this context is a
significant contribution to Wikidata. However, I should inform you that there are multiple
types of medical images. Using P18 Image Wikidata Property without constraints will be
imprecise. I propose to add a qualifier to new Wikidata statements in which you define the
fabrication method (P2079). These methods are Radiology (Q77604), Computed Tomography
(Q32566), Histology (Q7168) and Echography (Q16775363) among others. Other qualifiers
about other characteristics of the image such as the used section and coloration should be
included as well.

Dear Netha
That is great news. However, I think that CC-BY would be more appropriate a license for
such kind of images? I would seek opinion from James in this regard.

**Apologies for cross-posting**
Dear all,
I am very happy to share the news of Dr. Yale Rosen's donation of images to Wikimedia
Commons. He had shared over 2000 images related to pathology, many of which are rare
images, during his long career as a pathologist. He used to run two Flickr streams, one
for Atlas of Medical Foreign
Bodies<https://www.flickr.com/photos/foreignbodies> and
other for pulmonary
pathology<https://www.flickr.com/photos/pulmonary_pathology/>
images. I had first approached Dr. Rosen for donating a few images, but he kindly offered
to donate his entire collection of approximately 2000 images plus the contents from his
pathology
website<http://granuloma.homestead.com/> for use on Wikimedia projects. He
had shared several images under CC-BY-SA or lower in the past, and User:
CFCF<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:CFCF> had uploaded them to Commons in
2014. This month, he moved his entire collection to CC-BY-SA, giving me the possibility to
upload around 1000 images to Commons. All images from Dr. Rosen's Flickr streams are
now available on Wikimedia Commons
here<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Images_by_Yale_Rosen_MD…MD>.
Please feel free to engage in categorizing, adding structured data and uptaking these
images to Wikimedia projects.Kindly write to me if you have any questions or comments.
Regards
