Describator should be a stand-alone desktop tool for faster file description and deployment to Wikimedia projects (Wikidata, Wikipedia).

Original proposal[edit]

In short, the tool can work as follows.

Before going on photowalk[edit]

  1. Photographer will choose on the map what interests him (could filter by groups, yes/no photographs), or may load its own file with pre-prepared files
  2. The tool will generate QR codes for each point of interest with object name (taken from Wikipedia) and coordinates. This could be printed or saved to a cell phone.

During a photo walk[edit]

  1. Before picture taking of each object, the photographer will take a photograph of QR code. If taking photographs of an object not planned, special QR code indicating the need for manual identification could be used.

After photowalk[edit]

  1. Load all images from the photowalk to Describator
  2. Describator will generate filenames, description, structured data tags, categories
  3. Photographer may add other data and chose a photograph to be used in Projects
  4. Describator will upload your files and deliver them to Wikimedia projects
