GSoC 2023 Proposal: Wikidocumentaries to import images from the web to Structured Data on Commons

The project aims to establish a complete workflow for retrieving media related to a currently viewed topic in Wikidocumentaries from a given media repository and uploading it to Wikimedia Commons while adding structured data statements. The project includes following tasks: • Develop or modify the API script for the intended media repository. • Format the retrieved information and present properly in Wikidocumentaries. • Enable the user to choose and upload images. • Authenticate with Wikimedia Commons. • Upload the selected media files to Wikimedia Commons and categorize them based on the available information. • Generate Structured Data statements by utilizing the information obtained from both the corresponding Wikidata item and the original source. The successful completion of this workflow will enable the creation of further tools to enrich the data of the uploaded content. In summary, this project intends to provide a more streamlined and user-friendly way for users to find and contribute open content to Wikimedia. Mentors: @TuukkaH @Susannaanas
