Raw Blame History

German Archive Completion - Execution Guide

Status: Ready to execute (pending DDB API key)
Goal: 100% German archive coverage (~25,000-27,000 total institutions)

Quick Start

Prerequisites (10 minutes)

Get DDB API Key:
- Visit: https://www.deutsche-digitale-bibliothek.de/
- Register → Verify email → Log in
- Navigate to "Meine DDB" → Generate API key
- Copy the key
Install Dependencies (if needed):
```
pip install requests rapidfuzz
```

Execution (6-9 hours)

Step 1: Configure API Key (1 minute)

Edit the API harvester script:

nano scripts/scrapers/harvest_archivportal_d_api.py

Replace line 21:

API_KEY = "YOUR_API_KEY_HERE"

With your actual key:

API_KEY = "ddb_abc123xyz456..."

Step 2: Run API Harvest (1-2 hours)

cd /Users/kempersc/apps/glam
python3 scripts/scrapers/harvest_archivportal_d_api.py

Expected output:

data/isil/germany/archivportal_d_api_TIMESTAMP.json (~10,000-20,000 archives)
data/isil/germany/archivportal_d_api_stats_TIMESTAMP.json (statistics)

Step 3: Cross-Reference with ISIL (1 hour)

python3 scripts/scrapers/merge_archivportal_isil.py

Expected output:

data/isil/germany/merged_matched_TIMESTAMP.json (overlapping archives)
data/isil/germany/merged_new_discoveries_TIMESTAMP.json (new archives)
data/isil/germany/merged_isil_only_TIMESTAMP.json (ISIL-only institutions)
data/isil/germany/merged_stats_TIMESTAMP.json (overlap statistics)

Step 4: Create Unified Dataset (1 hour)

python3 scripts/scrapers/create_german_unified_dataset.py

Expected output:

data/isil/germany/german_unified_TIMESTAMP.json (~25,000-27,000 institutions)
data/isil/germany/german_unified_TIMESTAMP.jsonl (line-delimited format)

What Each Script Does

1. `harvest_archivportal_d_api.py`

Purpose: Fetch all German archives from Deutsche Digitale Bibliothek API

How it works:

Connects to DDB REST API with your authentication key
Queries sector=arc_archives to get archives only
Fetches in batches of 100 records
Respects rate limits (0.5s delay between requests)
Saves raw JSON with metadata

Output format:

{
  "metadata": {
    "source": "Archivportal-D via DDB API",
    "total_archives": 12345,
    "harvest_date": "2025-11-19T..."
  },
  "archives": [
    {
      "id": "archive-unique-id",
      "name": "Stadtarchiv Köln",
      "location": "Köln",
      "federal_state": "Nordrhein-Westfalen",
      "archive_type": "Kommunalarchiv",
      "isil": "DE-KN",
      "latitude": "50.9375",
      "longitude": "6.9603",
      "profile_url": "https://www.archivportal-d.de/item/..."
    }
  ]
}

Estimated time: 1-2 hours (depends on total archive count)

2. `merge_archivportal_isil.py`

Purpose: Cross-reference Archivportal-D archives with ISIL registry

Matching strategy:

ISIL exact match: Match archives by ISIL code (high confidence)
Fuzzy name+city: Match by institution name + location (threshold: 85% similarity)

How it works:

Loads ISIL data (16,979 institutions)
Loads Archivportal-D data (from previous harvest)
Matches by ISIL code first (30-50% expected overlap)
Fuzzy matches remaining by name + city
Identifies new discoveries (archives without ISIL codes)
Identifies ISIL-only institutions (not in Archivportal)

Output categories:

Matched: Archives in both sources (high quality, cross-validated)
New discoveries: Archives only in Archivportal-D (need ISIL assignment)
ISIL-only: Institutions in ISIL but not in Archivportal-D (libraries/museums)

Estimated time: 1 hour

3. `create_german_unified_dataset.py`

Purpose: Combine all sources into single comprehensive dataset

Data integration:

Matched institutions: ISIL data (Tier 1) enriched with Archivportal-D metadata
ISIL-only: All ISIL records not in Archivportal (libraries, museums, smaller archives)
New discoveries: Archivportal-D archives not in ISIL registry

Enrichment process:

ISIL data is authoritative (Tier 1)
Add Archivportal-D fields where missing:
- Archive type/subtype
- Federal state
- Coordinates (if better/missing)
- Profile URLs
- Thumbnails

Output fields (unified schema):

{
  "id": "unique-id",
  "institution_name": "Stadtarchiv München",
  "city": "München",
  "federal_state": "Bayern",
  "institution_type": "ARCHIVE",
  "institution_subtype": "Kommunalarchiv",
  "isil_code": "DE-M212",
  "latitude": "48.1351",
  "longitude": "11.5820",
  "archivportal_id": "...",
  "archivportal_url": "https://...",
  "data_sources": ["ISIL", "Archivportal-D"],
  "enriched_from_archivportal": true,
  "data_tier": "TIER_1_AUTHORITATIVE"
}

Estimated time: 1 hour

Troubleshooting

Issue: API Key Invalid

Error: 401 Unauthorized or 403 Forbidden

Solutions:

Verify API key copied correctly (no spaces/newlines)
Check key is active in DDB account settings
Ensure using Bearer token format: Authorization: Bearer {key}

Issue: No Results Returned

Error: numberOfResults: 0

Solutions:

Verify API endpoint: https://api.deutsche-digitale-bibliothek.de/search
Check query parameters: sector=arc_archives
Try broader query: query=*
Check DDB API status page

Issue: Rate Limited

Error: 429 Too Many Requests

Solutions:

Increase REQUEST_DELAY from 0.5s to 1.0s or 2.0s
Reduce BATCH_SIZE from 100 to 50
Wait 5-10 minutes before retrying

Issue: Merge Script Fails

Error: FileNotFoundError: No Archivportal-D data found

Solution:

Run Step 2 (API harvest) first
Verify JSON file exists in data/isil/germany/archivportal_d_api_*.json

Issue: Fuzzy Matching Too Strict

Symptom: Too few matches in merge results

Solution:

Edit merge_archivportal_isil.py
Lower FUZZY_THRESHOLD from 85 to 75
Re-run merge script

Validation Checklist

After completing all steps, verify:

API harvest: 10,000-20,000 archives fetched
Federal states: All 16 German states represented
ISIL overlap: 30-50% of archives have ISIL codes
Coordinates: 80%+ of archives geocoded
New discoveries: 7,000-10,000 archives without ISIL
Unified dataset: ~25,000-27,000 total institutions
Duplicates: < 1% (check by ISIL code)
Data tiers: TIER_1 (ISIL), TIER_2 (Archivportal-D)

Next Steps (After Completion)

Immediate (Documentation)

Create harvest report: data/isil/germany/GERMAN_UNIFIED_REPORT.md
Update progress tracker: Add German completion to data/isil/HARVEST_PROGRESS_SUMMARY.md
Document statistics: Archive types, federal state distribution, etc.

Short-term (Data Processing)

Convert to LinkML: Transform JSON → LinkML YAML instances
Generate GHCIDs: Create persistent identifiers for all institutions
Geocode missing: Fill in coordinates for remaining ~12%
ISIL assignment: Propose ISIL codes for new discoveries

Medium-term (Integration)

Export formats: Generate RDF, CSV, Parquet, SQLite
Wikidata enrichment: Query for Q-numbers, VIAF IDs
Quality validation: Check for data anomalies, outliers
Provenance tracking: Add extraction metadata, confidence scores

Long-term (Project Impact)

Move to next country: Czech Republic, Austria, or France
Archive completeness: Apply same strategy to other countries
Priority 1 completion: Target all 36 Priority 1 countries
