I'm wondering what people have found to be the
best practices for
identifying video in Wikipedia articles.
A number of issues:
- One of the problems is the OGG is a container, so simply parsing article
Wikimarkup may not be sufficient to identify video content.
- You can go by category, but this is not always fully accurate
- Are GIFs that are animated considered video? Some are, and some aren't.
I would argue that 'motion image' should be the criteria from a
viewer/reader perspective, which a library should be serving, so I would
say that they should be included.
Interested in hearing what people think, or whether we have a taxonomy of
video types that are well defined.
