Add Museum Victoria as data source

[oree-xx]

Problem

Museum Victoria (API documentation): Museums Victoria is Australia’s largest public museum organisation, and the principal custodian of the State’s scientific, cultural and heritage collections. Its API provides access to meta data on licenses, use rights and open access. We can also get information on article type, image license, display location, locality, museum location, etc. There are 150,000 objects available.

API information

• No API key required
• No query limit
• At the moment it only supports the GET verb and responses are in JSON only.

License information (Reference)

All of the text published on the site is licensed using a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International license. But the license for images, sounds and audio-visual material are distributed across different licenses.

Interesting questions to ask:

• The percentage of CC license are being used
• The distribution of license type for images and audios
• What proportion of images, audios fall under public domain?

@oree-xx @TimidRobot could I be assigned to this, please?

@sbarhin We don't assign issues, you can just work on it. But remember to follow the 3 phase structure of fetching, processing and reporting the data.

@possumbilities @oree-xx Hello there. Please can you guide me as to the structure of the expected output (csv) in the fetching phase. The API returns a lot of data in the response, and they are structured differently for each record_type.

@sbarhin Hi, You might need to read this https://github.com/creativecommons/quantifying#meaningful. So you have to think of interesting insight to get from the data. I have some interesting questions that could help with the analysis. I would update the issue. Basically you have to plan what type of data informs us about the usage of the creative commons license. Also check this GCS report

@oree-xx Thank you. I will do just that. Also, I'll be looking forward to the updated issue. Thanks

@sbarhin So like you need to to get the count of images, audios by the different license type
