Projekt:CommonsDB registry/Mallmappning
On this page we will start mapping public domain templates on Wikimedia Commons with a text that can be used as the rationale in the Metadata storage. This is how the API defines it:
| Object | Format | Required? | Metadata Storage | CommonsDB Registry | Description | Example or accepted enum values |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| pdRationale | string | No | Yes | No | Rationale for determination that a work is in the Public Domain. Only used if Rights Statement = Public Domain Mark. | "This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer." |
The above also illustrates a good string for Template:PD-old-70.
Mapping
Please help add templates to this list and make a suggestion for the rationale text for each of the templates you add to the list.
| Wikimedia CommonsTemplate | CommonsDB ID? | Rationale text |
|---|---|---|
| PD-old-70 | 1 | "This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer." |
| PD-old-100 | 2 | "This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 100 years or fewer." |
| PDUSgov | 3 | "This work is in the public domain in the United States because it is a work prepared by an officer or employee of the United States Government as part of that person’s official duties under the terms of Title 17, Chapter 1, Section 105 of the US Code." |
| PD-USGov-EPA | 4 | "This image (or other media) is a work of an Environmental Protection Agency employee, taken or made as part of that person's official duties. As works of the U.S. federal government, all EPA images are in the public domain." |
Double licensing
On Wikimedia Commons, there are a lot of images with multiple licenses. For the registry, we should only pick one. Therefore, we need some logic for which one to pick.
- Pick a well-known system:
- CC licenses over any other license systems
- Pick the most free license:
- CC BY over CC BY-SA
- CC0 over CC BY
- PD over CC0
- Except for PD USGov templates, where CC0 should be picked over PD USGov
- Pick the newest version, for example CC BY 3.0 over CC BY 2.5
