Dear all, We are preparing an academic research project involving the large-scale analysis of art-historical material from Wikimedia Commons, conducted jointly by the University of Marburg and the Getty Research Institute.
For this project, we anticipate requiring access to at least five million Commons images. High-resolution originals are not necessary; thumbnails would suffice. Before we initiate any large-scale retrieval, we would be grateful if you could advise us on the preferred way to access this material. In particular, we would be grateful for advice on whether an existing bulk dataset provides Commons thumbnails on this scale, or whether a project of this size should make use of, or request, any special API arrangements. As we can identify and filter the relevant image URLs from the metadata in advance, the main question concerns the recommended method for retrieving the images themselves. If you have any more questions about the project, please do not hesitate to get in touch. Thank you, and all the best, Stefanie __________________________ Dr. Stefanie Schneider Wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiterin Philipps-Universität Marburg Kunstgeschichtliches Institut Biegenstraße 11 35037 Marburg Raum: 00003 Telefon: +49 6421 28-22174 E-Mail: [email protected] https://www.uni-marburg.de/de/fb09/khi/dr-stefanie-schneider
