Assigning CC BY licenses in BLR for images from open access artiles #49

Open myrmoteras opened 5 years ago

myrmoteras commented 5 years ago

@gsautter The license of the images in BLR extracted via GGI have be default a "licence not specified" attached. However, this is the solution for the images from articles that are closed access. This "licence not specified" has as a consquence that Wikimedia does not use the images, as well as GBIF will not use them in the new taxonomic section.

We should assign to all images for articles from open access (CC BY et al.) journals or for journals where we have an agreement, a CC BY licence (e.g. EJT, Revue Suisse de Zoologie". e.g. https://zenodo.org/record/1143737#.XSK5f-gzbAQ

................................. Probably along this line, we should extract the licence from the article in the GGI process, that is make this part of the document metadata. This is increasingly important since the emphasis in the open data movement focuses on this element. see https://github.com/plazi/Biodiversity-Literature-Repository/issues/50

We should also change all the license for the "European Journal of Taxonomy" from "licence not specified" to "CC BY" see https://github.com/plazi/Biodiversity-Literature-Repository/issues/51

@teodorgeorgiev and @gsautter please ensure all Pensoft images uploaded to BLR including the backlist bear the right license CC-BY 4.0

gsautter commented 5 years ago

Implemented and deployed for IMFs, update is underway, should be done in a few hours.

gsautter commented 5 years ago

@lyubomirpenev we shall discuss in the next two days how to proceed with images from Pensoft, as these (currently) don't pass through Plazi's upload facilities ... meaning to say we'll have to change some other code on some Pensoft system to make that happen.

lyubomirpenev commented 5 years ago

@gsautter sure, please discuss this with @teodorgeorgiev and let's see what and when we can do. By all means, please formalize the tasks in simple steps on GitHub regarding this or other issues under discussion. Good Luck!

gsautter commented 5 years ago

@lyubomirpenev will do ... but it's actually up to @teodorgeorgiev to know what to change and where. This is a Pensoft -> Zenodo data transfer, after all, at least for current articles.

Regarding the backlist, of course, we'll make sure to properly apply CC-BY 4.0, but then those will go the IMF way via TB (more accurately via the Plazi systems TB is a part of), just like the EJTs, so this is all taken care of, or easy enough to take care of.

I've now created a Zenodo License Selector plugin for GGI (comes with next build) that allows selecting a document-wide license for

the document (PDF) proper (can also be set to CLOSED)
the figures contained in the document (becomes UNSPECIFIED is document is CLOSED)
the treatments contained in the document (becomes UNSPECIFIED is document is CLOSED) - in case we want that at some point

Further, I've added a context menu function for setting the license on individual figures and treatments to override the document-wide setting on a one-by-one basis (there might be some CC-BY image in a closed PDF at some point ...).

gsautter commented 5 years ago

Now the question is which licenses (apart from CLOSED and our default pre/port 2000 rule) we should offer ... there are 381 active licenses available in Zenodo (https://zenodo.org/api/licenses), and I doubt we need to offer all of them ... any suggestions?
