Crotos is a search and display engine for visual artworks powered by Wikidata and Wikimedia Commons. The main goal of the project is to offer a multilingual interface to find or discover artworks reproductions and to give information and links about them. All data, regularly updated, come from Wikidata and all images from WikiCommons. Secondly the website is a tool to help for contribution, showing new items with image or Wikipedia article, with the possibility of looking for missing information. The project has several subprojects (Callisto, IIIF Cropper, Louvre rooms, ...).
The purpose of this presentation is to show the website, the process of production with difficulties and solutions, and the dynamic between contribution and reuse.
What will attendees take away from this session?
Attendees could see that contribution to Wikidata in visual arts is directly useful and could be shared, indeed in many languages, with a simple interface like Crotos. The presentation could give an idea of needs and issues on Wikidata reuse in several aspects (compilation, inferences, ontologies, multilinguism, practices of edition...) and by this way it could show some possibilities to create new projects.
