Bot's tasks for which permission is being sought:
The bot will add basic structured data statements for Metropolitan Museum of Art files in Commons, mainly uploaded in 2017, or afterward.
- Basic structured data to be added:
- Met Object ID unique identifier The Met object ID (P3634), derived from the "source=" statement in the template
- Basic collection statement: collection (P195), which is simply Metropolitan Museum of Art (Q160236)
This will provide a structured data link to the exact object at The Met, which will allow for better ingestion of metadata and data federation.
Automatic or manually assisted: Automatic
Edit type (e.g. Continuous, daily, one time run): One time run, and possibly on a periodic basis in the future to handle new items
Maximum edit rate (e.g. edits per minute): Fairly slow, estimated to be 6-10 per minute
Bot flag requested: (Y/N): Y
Programming language(s): Python, implemented on PAWS using Mediawiki API
Sample edits:
- Single item - adding Met object ID and collection info
- Multiple item - test run tagged with PAWS 2.1

- Looks OK for me. --EugeneZelenko (talk) 14:37, 5 June 2021 (UTC)
If there are no objections, I think bot status should be granted. --EugeneZelenko (talk) 14:26, 12 June 2021 (UTC)
- Looks good for me, too. Just interested - why is it sometimes a single edit and a double edit in other cases? (double edits). (non-obligatory part) Would you like to share the source code to help other institutions, for example? rubin16 (talk) 16:51, 12 June 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks for the feedback. Sometimes there is a single edit is because the P195 statement is already there, usually added by another bot like Botmultichill. In that case I won't make a duplicate edit and will leave it alone. Happy to make the code available for other orgs to work with especially since SDC scripts aren't that plentiful. Will put it on github after some cleanup. -- Fuzheado (talk) 20:07, 17 June 2021 (UTC)
