Balinese Lontar from Internet Archive[edit]

  • Source to upload from: http://archive.org/details/Bali
    • Do the media URLs follow a pattern? yes
    • Does the site have an API? yes
    • What else could ease uploading? (is the site valid XHTML, do they use a WCM…?) N/A
    • Did you contact the site owner? yes
  • Describe the works to be uploaded in detail (audio files, images by …):
    • Balinese Lontar (palm-leaf manuscripts) from the Internet Archive's Bali collection
    • Each manuscript is a PDF containing photographs of the originals
    • This batch upload is in connection with an active project grant.
  • Which license tag(s) should be applied?

{{PD-scan}}, following the behavior of the ia-upload tool.

  • Is there a template that could be used on the file description pages? Do you think a special template should be created?

Yes. I will follow the ia-upload template closely when doing the batch upload. I will use a short python script that aggregates info from the Internet Archive API and sends each upload request via pywikibot. If necessary I will create a bot account for this purpose. There are approximately 2700 items to upload.
