In the existing implementation of the Smithsonian provider API script, the license value is obtained from the content.descriptiveNonRepeating.usage.access field. Only the images with a license value CC0 are stored in the image DB. However, for two of the Smithsonian museums (FBR - smithsonian_field_book_project, and NAA - smithsonian_anthropological_archives) this field is unavailable and thus we lose all their images due the inability of identifying their public domain status.
Suggested Improvement
Identify an alternative field from which to obtain the license
Benefit
Considerable improvement to the completeness of Smithsonian data
