GeoDIL[edit]

There are 3096 pictures of rocks and minerals.

  • Source to upload from: https://geodil.dperkins.org/
    • Do the media URLs follow a pattern? The images themselves are /i/NUMBER.jpg. The pages for the images are /h/NUMBER.html. Numbers range from 1-3144 with some gaps.
    • Does the site have an API? No.
    • What else could ease uploading? (is the site valid XHTML, do they use a WCM…?) The site owner uses a script to generate the HTML and the sitemap, /sitemap.xml. That data could be modified if it would make uploading significantly easier. On the back end, information is stored in a CSV, /db/details.csv, should that be useful.
    • Did you contact the site owner? Site owner: Douglas Perkins.
  • Describe the works to be uploaded in detail (audio files, images by …): JPGs of rocks and minerals. Most of these were taken by people working on the GeoDIL project at the University of North Dakota, 2001-2002.
  • Which license tag(s) should be applied? 2,711 are CC Zero, and 14 are government works and PD. The remainder are not freely licensed. All licensed images are noted as such on their HTML pages, and it's also in the sitemap.
  • Is there a template that could be used on the file description pages? Do you think a special template should be created?
