Rijksmuseum

The renovated en:Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam has made their digital collection of 111,000+ objects available digitally under a CC-0 license (https://www.rijksmuseum.nl/en/api/terms-and-conditions-of-use). An API key is needed for digital downloading (https://www.rijksmuseum.nl/en/api). According to the museum:

"All object descriptions available via this API are covered by a Creative Commons 0 licence. The images are in the Public Domain, according to which the data and the images are free of rights and may be copied, changed, distributed or exported without the Rijksmuseum’s permission."

• Describe the works to be uploaded in detail (audio files, images by …): Presumably the entire collection is of use. According to https://www.rijksmuseum.nl/en/api/instructions-for-use: "The Rijksmuseum API Collection is a set of more than 110,000 descriptions of objects (metadata) and digital images from the Rijksmuseum collection. The works of art and implements in the set date from ancient times through to the late 19th century and provide an excellent overview of the richness, diversity and beauty of the Dutch and international heritage. Unfortunately, copyright restrictions mean that we are not yet able to include any works from the 20th or 21st centuries. The set includes paintings and prints (ranging from the great masters of the Golden Age through to anonymous biblical paintings and other painted objects from the Middle Ages), 19th-century photographs, ceramics, furniture, silverware, doll’s houses, miniatures, etc. Digital photographs were taken of all of the objects in this set."

• Which license tag(s) should be applied? Template:Cc-zero

• Is there a template that could be used on the file description pages? Do you think a special template should be created? Museum:Rijksmuseum. Also, the following should probably be taken into account even though we are not an app: "In all apps to be built in which images belonging to the Rijksmuseum are used, app designers will credit these as having been built with the API of the Rijksmuseum, including images and documentation. The credit must be placed where it can be seen easily by users. App-builders will credit all images with the words ‘Rijksmuseum collection’."

Opinions

• I'm quite aware of this awesome collection. Haven't uploaded it yet because we're planning to use it as pilot for Commons:GLAMwiki Toolset Project. Not sure when this will happen exactly, probably in the next months. Multichill (talk) 10:42, 13 April 2013 (UTC)
