## Deduplication Strategy

### ISIL Code Matching (Primary)
- **358 unique ISIL codes** identified
- Institutions with same ISIL merged automatically
- Priority: ISIL_REGISTRY > WIKIDATA > OPENSTREETMAP

### Fuzzy Name Matching (Secondary)
- **6,969 institutions without ISIL** processed
- Threshold: 85% similarity (Levenshtein distance)
- Matched against existing ISIL-linked records first
- Then matched against each other

### Merge Strategy
- Non-empty values preferred during merge
- All data sources tracked in `data_sources` array
- Original source preserved in `source_file` field

## Known Issues & Limitations

### 1. Expected vs Actual Count Discrepancy
- **Expected**: ~6,795 institutions (from previous documentation)
- **Actual**: 4,348 institutions (63.9% of expected)
- **Likely causes**:
  - Aggressive fuzzy matching (85% threshold)
  - Duplicate entries within Wikidata SPARQL results
  - Original 6,795 count may have included duplicates

### 2. High Unknown Rate
- **30.5% institutions** have no geocoding (city = "unknown")
- **30.5% institutions** have no type classification
- Requires manual review and enrichment

### 3. Low ISIL Coverage
- Only **8.2%** have ISIL codes
- Most institutions are from Wikidata/OSM without official ISIL assignment
- Opportunity for ISIL code applications

### 4. Data Quality Variations
- **ISIL Registry**: Authoritative but minimal metadata
- **Wikidata**: Rich metadata but variable quality
- **OSM**: Excellent geocoding but library-focused

## Technical Implementation

### Script Created
**File**: `scripts/scrapers/consolidate_austrian_data.py`

**Features**:
- Multi-format parser (handles both array and object JSON structures)
- Null-safe field access
- Fuzzy matching with configurable threshold
- Source tracking and provenance metadata
- Statistics generation

**Dependencies**:
- `rapidfuzz` (fuzzy string matching)
- Standard library: `json`, `glob`, `pathlib`, `datetime`, `collections`

### Parser Enhancements
1. **Format detection**: Handles both `[{...}]` and `{institutions: [{...}]}` structures
2. **Field normalization**: Accepts both `isil_code` and `isil` field names
3. **Null handling**: Gracefully handles `null` ISIL codes and names
4. **Error recovery**: Skips malformed entries, continues processing

## Next Steps

### Immediate Priorities
1. **German dataset cross-reference**
   - Match DDB institutions (4,937) with ISIL codes (16,979)
   - Create unified German dataset (~20,000 institutions)
   
2. **Austrian data quality review**
   - Investigate 1,325 "unknown" location institutions
   - Classify 1,325 "unknown" type institutions
   - Potentially re-run with lower fuzzy threshold (80%?)

### Future Work
3. **LinkML conversion**
   - Export to HeritageCustodian schema
   - Generate GHCID identifiers
   - Add PROV-O provenance tracking

4. **Wikidata enrichment**
   - Query Wikidata for missing ISIL codes
   - Add Wikidata IDs to ISIL-only records
   - Verify existing Wikidata linkages

5. **OSM expansion**
   - Query OSM for museums, archives (not just libraries)
   - Add architectural heritage sites
   - Enrich address data

- **Wikidata parsing**: 4,863 rows in 2 seconds
- **OSM parsing**: 748 elements in 1 second
- **Deduplication**: 7,414 → 4,348 records in ~120 seconds
- **Statistics generation**: <1 second
- **File export**: <1 second

## Conclusion

✅ **Successfully consolidated Austrian heritage data** from three major sources into a unified dataset of **4,348 institutions**.

**Key achievements**:
- Resolved format inconsistencies across 194 ISIL page files
- Merged Wikidata semantic data with authoritative ISIL codes
- Added comprehensive geocoding from OSM
- 67.5% geocoding coverage (2,933 institutions)
- 62.8% Wikidata linkage (2,729 institutions)

**Data quality**: Good foundation for LinkML conversion, though ~30% requires manual review for location/type classification.

**Next**: German dataset cross-reference to create unified database of ~42,000 European heritage institutions.
