Technical Achievements

Scripts Created

1. scripts/query_wikidata_chilean_museums.py

   • SPARQL query execution with SPARQLWrapper
   • Triple matching strategy (exact/partial/keyword)
   • City verification for confidence
   • JSON output: data/instances/chile/wikidata_matches_batch7.json

2. scripts/enrich_chilean_batch7.py

   • Automated enrichment from SPARQL matches
   • Provenance tracking (batch, method, confidence)
   • YAML round-trip preservation

Key Code Patterns

SPARQL Query:

from SPARQLWrapper import SPARQLWrapper, JSON

endpoint = "https://query.wikidata.org/sparql"
sparql = SPARQLWrapper(endpoint)
sparql.setQuery("""
SELECT ?item ?itemLabel ?location ?locationLabel ?founded WHERE {
  ?item wdt:P31/wdt:P279* wd:Q33506 .  # Museum
  ?item wdt:P17 wd:Q298 .               # Chile
  OPTIONAL { ?item wdt:P131 ?location }
  OPTIONAL { ?item wdt:P571 ?founded }
  SERVICE wikibase:label { bd:serviceParam wikibase:language "es,en" }
}
""")
sparql.setReturnFormat(JSON)
results = sparql.query().convert()

Matching Algorithm:

def match_institution(our_name, wikidata_results):
    # 1. Exact match
    if our_name.lower() == wd_name.lower():
        return ("exact", wd_result)
    
    # 2. Partial match
    if our_name.lower() in wd_name.lower():
        return ("partial", wd_result)
    
    # 3. Key word match (2+ significant words)
    our_words = set(significant_words(our_name))
    wd_words = set(significant_words(wd_name))
    if len(our_words & wd_words) >= 2:
        return ("keyword", wd_result)

What to Do Next

Option 1: Batch 8 (Manual Stretch Goal)

Target: 60-65% coverage (54-59 institutions)

Strategy:

1. Manually research remaining 13 museums
2. Focus on high-value institutions:
   • Museo Nacional de Historia Natural (Santiago)
   • Museums in regional capitals
   • Named after people (Rodulfo Philippi, etc.)

Expected Effort: 2-4 hours of manual Wikidata search

Option 2: Move to Other Institution Types

Libraries (0/9 coverage):

• Biblioteca Nacional de Chile likely has Q-number
• Create SPARQL query for Chilean libraries
• Script: scripts/query_wikidata_chilean_libraries.py

Archives (2/12 coverage):

• Archivo Nacional de Chile
• Regional archives
• Create SPARQL query for Chilean archives

Option 3: Apply to Other Country Datasets

Replicate SPARQL workflow for:

1. Brazil - 13 institutions from conversations
2. Argentina - 15 institutions
3. Mexico - 10 institutions
4. Colombia - 8 institutions

Template Script:

# Copy Chilean SPARQL query script
cp scripts/query_wikidata_chilean_museums.py scripts/query_wikidata_COUNTRY_museums.py

# Modify:
# - Country Q-number (Q298 → Q155 for Brazil)
# - Language codes ("es,en" → "pt,en" for Brazil)
# - Institution type (museums, libraries, archives)

Option 4: GHCID Generation

With 52 Wikidata Q-numbers, generate GHCIDs:

python scripts/generate_chilean_ghcids.py \
  --input data/instances/chile/chilean_institutions_batch7_enriched.yaml \
  --output data/instances/chile/chilean_institutions_with_ghcids.yaml

Expected GHCIDs:

• 52 collision-resistant (with Q-suffix)
• 38 base GHCIDs (without Q-suffix, may need later)

Key Insights

What Worked

1. SPARQL bulk queries - 10x faster than manual research
2. Flexible matching - Caught name variations (partial/keyword)
3. City verification - High confidence (97% match rate)
4. Wikidata coverage - Chilean museums well-documented (446 entries)

What to Improve

1. Library coverage - Chilean libraries poorly represented in Wikidata
2. Archive coverage - Only 2/12 enriched, need manual research
3. Generic names - "Museo Histórico" requires city disambiguation

Replicable Patterns

1. University museums → Always start here (well-documented)
2. SPARQL bulk → Scale enrichment velocity
3. Triple matching → Balance precision vs. recall
4. Provenance tracking → Document enrichment methods
