Wikipedia Video Upload

Just finished uploading video from Landscape-Portrait to Wikipedia. It's a very time consuming process and prone to errors which force you to restart the process from scratch. It's taken my 2 hours to upload 18 video clips, including mark up etc. Kept getting errors for long file names, duplicate files names etc. There isn't (for newbie users like me) any batch upload facility which is annoying, anyways its done. The content I uploaded was my interview on the site so I made available within the public domain, where it does not have to be attributed and can be used in whatever manner. For other participants I'll probably use a sharealike attributable licence.

The next part of the project is to access this media through DBpedia using RDF Linked Data, now that might take a time.

Open Data

Just spent the whole day creating and submitting an entry for Wikipedia for Landscape-Portrait. For the lay user there is a fairly steep learning curve, I had all my images rejected because I attached the wrong licence to them ! - however I did find a open source
OGG video convertor which is good. We wait and see if it is accepted. My plan is to release soem of the video content in the public realm via Wikipedia Commons, which is then accessed by DBpedia and made availible. 

Landscape-Portrait OGG Format

Just looking at the next phase for Landscape-Portrait. I want to create a Wikipedia page for he project, in addition upload the content to Wikipedia or Wikicommons. Either will require me to reformat the video portraits using the ogg codec. I guess I am concerned about the type of license also, 'fair use' seems appropriate but this would exclude the commons, where content is made available copyright free. There is also the question of the participants rights, and thoughts of how this content will be used.
