Hi Ankry,
As part of the understanding, NDLI is giving permission to use their
contents to be used on Wikimedia sites as needed. Also, anything not
compatible with Wikimedia sites and licensing will not be uploaded in any
way.

I'm just looking at them.
They have restriction for non-commercial use of their content in their ToU.
So uploading anything to Commons without their explicit permission may be
against their ToU (even if consistent with copyright law).
Do we care?

Hi,
That's a really great news! Thanks for sharing it.
I browse quickly the content they have and wow, this is really
multilingual. I even found some bilingual books with Breton (mislabelled as
French) and I saw a lot of other minority languages!
Do you already know what the next steps will be? Do you need help?
Cheers, ~nicolas

Hi all,
It gives us immense pleasure to announce to the Wikimedia community that National
Digital Library of India
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Digital_Library_of_India>
(NDLI), Centre for Internet and Society (CIS) and Wikimedia Foundation
(WMF) have signed a tripartite non-binding Memorandum of Understanding
(MoU) for a 2-years partnership. National Digital Library of India is a Ministry
of Human Resource Development
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ministry_of_Human_Resource_Development>
project, developed at IIT Kharagpur
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_Institute_of_Technology_Kharagpur>
which aims to build a virtual repository of learning resources and
literature metadata.
Through this understanding, we will work together on:
- integrating Wikisource and Wikidata contents on NDLI website.
<https://ndl.iitkgp.ac.in/>
- building up technical infrastructure on NDLI website to crowdsource
metadata curation on Wikidata and proofreading on Wikisource websites.
- importing relevant contents and data from NDLI website to Wikidata
and Wikisource.
- identifying and pursuing collaboration opportunities around other
Wikimedia projects, such as Wikibooks.
After months of discussion among the three parties, the understanding was
finalized during International Symposium on Knowledge Engineering for
Digital Library Design 2019, <http://kedl2019.ndl.gov.in/> an
international conference organized collaboratively by NDLI and UNESCO at IIT
Delhi
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_Institute_of_Technology_Delhi>,
where WMF was a technical partner.
Many apologies for cross-posting the announcement in different relevant
mailing lists.
Regards,
Jayanta and Bodhisattwa
CIS-A2K
