The aim of this project is to write a tool that would:

  • regularly spider PubMed Central to locate audio and video files published in the supplementary materials of CC BY-licensed articles in the Open subset
  • convert these files to OGG
  • upload them to Wikimedia Commons, along with the respective metadata
  • provide for easy extension to other CC-BY sources, beyond PubMed Central
  • (possibly) suggest Wikipedia articles for which the video might be relevant

Commands: oa-get [download-metadata|download-media] [dummy|pmc|pmc_doi] oa-cache [browse-database|clear-database|clear-media|convert-media|find-media|list-articles|stats] [dummy|pmc|pmc_doi] oa-put upload-media [dummy|pmc|pmc_doi]

Dependencies: python-dateutil http://pypi.python.org/pypi/python-dateutil python-elixir http://elixir.ematia.de/trac/wiki python-gst0.10 http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/modules/gst-python.html python-magic http://www.darwinsys.com/file/ python-mutagen http://code.google.com/p/mutagen/ python-progressbar http://pypi.python.org/pypi/progressbar/2.2 python-xdg http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/pyxdg python-werkzeug http://werkzeug.pocoo.org/ python-wikitools http://code.google.com/p/python-wikitools/ (python-wikitools was imported into our tree and patched to ease deployment)

Recommendations: sqlitebrowser http://sqlitebrowser.sourceforge.net/

To use the upload feature of oa-put, copy the userconfig.example file to “$HOME/config/open-access-media-importer/userconfig”.

A screencast showing usage can be played back with “ttyplay screencast”.

To plot mimetypes occurring in sources, install python-matplotlib and pipe the output of “oa-cache stats [source]” to the included plot-helper script.
