Few notes from today (Matt has a more formal and more comprehensive write-up here):

OA books in Wikisource

Aubrey and Daniel spoke with Open Books Publisher, from Cambridge. They have CC-BY (and other license) licensed books and these Books could be inserted in Wikisource. I already asked some friends of mine to look into them, and I think that Humanities OA monographies are perfect candidates for Wikisource.

We actually need a bit of work for uploading (as automagically as we can) HTML and EPUBs in Wikisource: it's a matter of

• converting HTML tags (references, links, etc.) in wikicode.
• creating a Index in Wikisource, and uploading chapters as subpages.
  • OPTIONAL create a menu for selecting and populating the Header template
• OPTIONAL automatic uploading of images in Commons

Towards a Common Map of Academia

This is the title of a poster from a polish researcher, who is creating with his colleagues a "open bibliography" of scholarly articles. He knows quite well MediaWiki, but didn't know Wikidata and he is extremely interested. Aubrey spoke with him and they exchanged mails.

Signaling OA-ness

There is a tool that tries to determine the license of an article on the basis of its DOI or PMID:

• Open Article Gauge
  • Code
  • API
