Hero images for ALA from the literature #10

Open rdmpage opened 5 years ago

rdmpage commented 5 years ago

Can we get "hero" images from the literature and add these to ALA?

Demo created, see e.g. https://ozymandias-demo.herokuapp.com/alahero.php?q=Trigonopterus%20Fauvel,%201862

@Daniel-Mietchen has made some comments on Twitter, e.g. https://twitter.com/EvoMRI/status/1145170830093107200 showing that we can find more images of Trichopterus than just those I've shown above, see https://t.co/punP2WOkbs

#defaultView:ImageGrid
SELECT ?taxon  ?taxonname ?image WHERE {
  ?taxon wdt:P31 wd:Q16521 ;
         wdt:P171 wd:Q7019837 ;
         wdt:P225 ?taxonname ;
         wdt:P18 ?image .
}

I think the issue here is that my query is restricted to just illustrations in original descriptions, rather than any available illustration. My query excludes things such as images in revisions, which of course eliminates a useful source of images. The other issue is that my query relies on simple string matching (does the caption include the full taxon name), whereas if the images are tagged as being about a taxon we are likely to get more accurate hits.
