Tool Name: pm20-search, pm20-report, possibly others
Quota increase requested: Postgres database
Reason: Background database for the creation of Wikidata items or links
The Wikidata project https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_20th_Century_Press_Archives and, in German Wikipedia, https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Projekt_Pressearchiv, were created to make the digitized 20th Century Press Archives better usable for the Wikimedia authors and the general public.
ZBW, the owner of the archives, has no capacities for subject indexing of the archives' material. It has donated all available metadata to Wikidata and supported its integration into Wikidata. The projects mentioned above aim to continue and extend this process. It would be very helpful to provide shared access to the source metadata, which is available as Postgres dump (https://zenodo.org/records/10588897). The database uses sequences and Postgres functions, so it cannot be straightforward converted to mysql or sqlite. The dump size ist less than 25 MB (compressed).
Please let me know when any further information would be helpful. Cheers, Joachim
