Experiments with semantic image tagging on Wikimedia Commons[edit]

The KB is undertaking some small scale experiments on Stedenboek de Wit to add P180 'Depicts' fields to selected images. In other words: the KB is exploring the added values of Wikidata based semantic tagging of things that can be seen (are depicted) im these atlas images. These Wikidata tags enable semantic searching for KB images in Wikimedia Commons and are the basis for further LOD functionalities that will be added to Commons.

Example queries: Images in Stedenboek de Wit depicting 'De Burcht' in Leiden or cities on the Zuiderzee

Tools used for tagging:

  1. Direct tagging in the Commons image interface (tab 'Structured data')
  2. ISA tool, with running campaigns for Stedenboek de Wit
  3. Bulk tagging via sdc_tool.js. 'This user script lets you quickly add statements for Structured Data on Commons (SDC) to (selected) files on galleries, category pages, and serach results'.
