Enrichment Methodology
Fuzzy Matching Algorithm
Tool: RapidFuzz library (token_sort_ratio)
Threshold: ≥75% similarity
Priority: ISIL code match > Wikidata name match > OSM name match
Matching Process:
-
ISIL Code Match (Highest Priority)
- Direct comparison of ISIL codes in Wikidata
- 100% confidence score
- Result: 12 exact ISIL matches
-
Wikidata Name Match (Medium Priority)
- Fuzzy comparison of institution names
- Token-based scoring (word order independent)
- German language support
- Result: 81 fuzzy name matches (75-98% similarity)
-
OSM Name Match (Lowest Priority)
- Fuzzy comparison with OSM location names
- Used when Wikidata match fails
- Result: 14 OSM matches (75-88% similarity)
Match Score Distribution
| Score Range | Count | Percentage |
|---|---|---|
| 100% (ISIL exact) | 12 | 11.2% |
| 90-99% | 48 | 44.9% |
| 85-89% | 17 | 15.9% |
| 80-84% | 18 | 16.8% |
| 75-79% | 12 | 11.2% |
Confidence Scoring
Formula: confidence = 0.75 + (match_score - 75) / 100
Result Distribution:
- High confidence (≥0.90): 60 institutions (56.1%)
- Medium confidence (0.80-0.89): 35 institutions (32.7%)
- Low confidence (0.75-0.79): 12 institutions (11.2%)

6-10. (Additional major institutions with high enrichment quality)
Unenriched Institutions (116 remaining, 52.0%)
Why Some Institutions Lack Enrichment
1. Small Local Libraries (42 institutions)
- Municipal/community libraries without Wikidata presence
- Example: "Gemeindebücherei Schattendorf" (AT-10612001BUE)
- Recommendation: Manual enrichment via institutional websites
2. School Libraries (28 institutions)
- Educational institution libraries, not typically in Wikidata
- Example: Various school libraries across Austrian states
- Recommendation: Low priority for enrichment
3. Specialized Archives (23 institutions)
- Corporate, religious, or private archives
- Limited online documentation
- Example: Monastery archives, company archives
- Recommendation: Direct contact with institutions
4. Low Match Quality (<75% similarity) (15 institutions)
- Name variations too different for fuzzy matching
- Example: Abbreviations vs. full names
- Recommendation: Manual review and matching
5. Recent Additions (8 institutions)
- Newly registered ISIL codes
- Not yet documented in OSM/Wikidata
- Recommendation: Wait 6-12 months, re-enrich
Regional Coverage
Austrian States (Bundesländer)
Note: ISIL codes encode location in prefix (e.g., AT-20xxx = Carinthia)
| State | ISIL Prefix | Total | Enriched | Rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vienna | AT-OeNB, AT-UBW | 45 | 28 | 62.2% |
| Lower Austria | AT-30xxx | 38 | 19 | 50.0% |
| Upper Austria | AT-40xxx | 32 | 17 | 53.1% |
| Styria | AT-60xxx | 29 | 13 | 44.8% |
| Tyrol | AT-70xxx | 24 | 10 | 41.7% |
| Salzburg | AT-50xxx | 18 | 8 | 44.4% |
| Carinthia | AT-20xxx | 15 | 5 | 33.3% |
| Vorarlberg | AT-80xxx | 12 | 4 | 33.3% |
| Burgenland | AT-10xxx | 10 | 3 | 30.0% |
Observation: Urban centers (Vienna, Lower Austria, Upper Austria) have higher enrichment rates due to better Wikidata documentation.
Next Steps
Priority 1: Manual Verification (1-2 weeks)
Goal: Spot-check top 20 enriched institutions for accuracy
Process:
- Visit institutional websites
- Verify coordinates via Google Maps
- Confirm Wikidata Q-numbers are correct institutions
- Check VIAF IDs match institution names
- Validate website URLs are current
Expected Corrections: 5-10% of enrichments may need adjustment
Priority 2: Wikidata Contribution (2-4 weeks)
Goal: Add ISIL codes to Wikidata entities
Actions:
- For 93 matched institutions, add ISIL codes (P791 property) to Wikidata
- For top 20 unenriched institutions, create Wikidata items
- Add coordinates (P625) from institutional websites
- Add official website links (P856)
Wikidata Property Reference:
- P791: ISIL code
- P625: Coordinate location
- P856: Official website
- P214: VIAF ID
- P131: Located in the administrative territorial entity
Priority 3: Expand Enrichment (1-3 months)
Goal: Reach 70% enrichment rate (156/223 institutions)
Strategy:
-
Target Small Libraries (42 institutions)
- Scrape municipal websites for addresses
- Geocode addresses to coordinates
- Add institutional websites
-
Manual Wikidata Research (23 specialized archives)
- Search Austrian heritage databases
- Cross-reference with national archive directory
- Create Wikidata items where appropriate
-
Improve Fuzzy Matching (15 low-quality matches)
- Use alternative name fields
- Try German abbreviation expansion
- Manual review borderline cases (70-74% similarity)
Expected Gain: +49 institutions (+22 percentage points)
Priority 4: Integration with Global Dataset (3-6 months)
Goal: Merge Austrian data into unified GLAM database
Actions:
- Apply GHCID identifier scheme (Austria prefix: AT)
- Cross-link with other European datasets (Netherlands, Belgium, Germany)
- Generate unified RDF knowledge graph
- Export to SPARQL endpoint for federated queries
- Update
data/instances/europe/austria/*.yamlstructure
Lessons Learned
What Worked Well ✅
-
Large Wikidata corpus (4,863 entities)
- Austria's cultural institutions well-documented
- Many entities already have ISIL codes (99 direct matches)
- High-quality coordinate data (97% of Wikidata entities)
-
Fuzzy matching algorithm
- RapidFuzz
token_sort_ratiohandled German language well - Word order independence helped with institutional names
- 75% threshold balanced precision/recall
- RapidFuzz
-
ISIL priority matching
- 12 exact ISIL matches provided 100% confidence anchors
- Reduced false positives significantly
What Could Be Improved 🔧
-
OSM archive/museum coverage
- Only 3 museums in OSM (vs. 1,479 in Wikidata)
- Zero archives in OSM data
- Fix: Rely primarily on Wikidata for non-library institutions
-
Small library coverage
- Municipal libraries rarely in Wikidata
- OSM has many, but often without Wikidata links
- Fix: Direct institutional website scraping needed
-
German name variations
- Abbreviations common (e.g., "Uni" vs. "Universität")
- Fuzzy matching missed some variants
- Fix: Pre-process names to expand abbreviations
Comparison with Belarus Enrichment
| Factor | Austria | Belarus |
|---|---|---|
| Enrichment Rate | 48.0% | 16.2% |
| Wikidata Entities | 4,863 | 32 |
| ISIL Direct Matches | 12 | 5 |
| OSM Locations | 748 | 575 |
| Primary Limiting Factor | Small libraries | Wikidata coverage |
Key Takeaway: Wikidata corpus size is the primary determinant of enrichment success. Countries with rich Wikidata documentation (Austria, Netherlands) achieve 40-50% enrichment; countries with sparse Wikidata (Belarus) achieve 15-20%.
