Hi folks, I've created a Wikipedia page for authors and works that will enter the public domain in 2014 in 70 years *p.m.a. *jurisdictions:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_in_public_domain If you are looking for entries, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:1943_deaths may help. Last time we talked about this, a number of ways of finding a cross-section of the '194# deaths' and the 'Writers' categories were suggested. I've gone through all of these entries, but you could use the same process for artists and so on. >From Yury Katkov: Go to this resource: http://dbpedia.org/sparql and put the following query: SELECT DISTINCT ?a WHERE { ?a dcterms:subject category:1943_deaths; rdf:type dbpedia-owl:Writer} LIMIT 1000 OR http://www.freebase.com/queryeditor [{ type: "/book/author" "/people/deceased_person/date_of_death|=" : ["1943"] "name" : null "limit" : 700 }] >From Finn Arup Nielsen, although note it places a heavy load on the toolserver: http://toolserver.org/~daniel/WikiSense/CategoryIntersect.php?wikilang=en& wikifam=.wikipedia.org&basecat=1943+deaths&basedeep=1&mode=cs&tagcat= Writers&tagdeep=3&go=Scan&format=html&userlang=en I found the toolserver one most useful because it creates hyperlinks to the author's Wikipedia page. Cheers, Chris *Chris Sakkas**Admin of the FOSsil Bank wiki <http://fossilbank.wikidot.com/> and the Living Libre blog <http://www.livinglibre.com> and Twitter feed <https://twitter.com/#%21/living_libre>.*
