📊 Dataset Statistics

Fuzzy Match Analysis

Total Fuzzy Matches: 185 (24.1% of 769 Wikidata links)

By Priority:

Priority Score Range Count % of Fuzzy
1 85-87% 58 31.4%
2 87-90% 62 33.5%
3 90-93% 44 23.8%
4 93-96% 14 7.6%
5 96-99% 7 3.8%

By Institution Type:

  • LIBRARY: 152 (82.2%)
  • ARCHIVE: 33 (17.8%)

Key Insight: Priority 1-2 represent 64.9% of fuzzy matches and should be focus of manual review.

Sample Review Records

Record 1 (Priority 1, 85.0%):

  • Institution: "Campus Vejle, Biblioteket"
  • Wikidata: "Vejle Bibliotek"
  • Issue: Branch suffix ", Biblioteket" suggests branch vs main library
  • Likely outcome: INCORRECT

Record 3 (Priority 1, 85.0%):

  • Institution: "Gladsaxe Bibliotekerne, Hovedbiblioteket"
  • Wikidata: "Gentofte Bibliotekerne, Hovedbiblioteket"
  • Issue: City mismatch (Gladsaxe vs Gentofte)
  • Likely outcome: INCORRECT

Record 4 (Priority 1, 85.0%):

  • Institution: "Biblioteksspot Roager"
  • Wikidata: "Biblioteket Broager"
  • Issue: Name similarity but different spelling (Roager vs Broager)
  • Likely outcome: UNCERTAIN (needs Danish local knowledge)

🔍 Key Patterns Identified

Pattern 1: Branch Library Suffixes

Issue: Institution names ending with ", Biblioteket" (the library)
Count: ~30% of Priority 1 matches
Example: "Campus Vejle, Biblioteket" vs "Vejle Bibliotek"
Resolution: Likely INCORRECT (branch matched to main)

Pattern 2: Gymnasium Libraries

Issue: School libraries matched to public libraries
Count: ~15% of Priority 1 matches
Example: "Fredericia Gymnasium, Biblioteket" vs "Fredericia Bibliotek"
Resolution: Likely INCORRECT (type mismatch)

Pattern 3: City Name Variations

Issue: Similar institution names in different cities
Count: ~10% of matches
Example: "Fur Lokalhistoriske Arkiv" (Skive) vs "Randers Lokalhistoriske Arkiv" (Randers)
Resolution: INCORRECT (location mismatch)

Pattern 4: Multilingual Variants

Issue: Danish name vs English Wikidata label
Count: ~20% of matches
Example: "Rigsarkivet" vs "Danish National Archives"
Resolution: Likely CORRECT (same entity, different language)

Pattern 5: Missing ISIL Codes

Issue: No ISIL code to cross-validate
Count: ~40% of Priority 1 matches
Resolution: Requires manual city/name/type verification


⏱️ Time Estimates

Priority 1-2 (120 matches):

  • Average time per match: 2-3 minutes
  • Total estimated time: 4-6 hours
  • Focus: Most uncertain matches

Priority 3-5 (65 matches):

  • Average time per match: 1-2 minutes
  • Total estimated time: 1-2 hours
  • Focus: Moderate to high confidence

Total Estimated Time: 5-8 hours

Recommended Approach:

  1. Start with Priority 1 (2.4 hours)
  2. Complete Priority 2 (2.6 hours)
  3. Spot-check Priority 3-5 (1-2 hours)
  4. Apply validation (automated)
  5. Re-export RDF (automated)

Quality Expectations

Predicted Outcomes

Based on match score distribution and pattern analysis:

Status Expected % Expected Count Notes
CORRECT 85-90% 157-167 Danish/English variants, high-confidence matches
INCORRECT 5-10% 9-19 Branch mismatches, type errors, location errors
UNCERTAIN 5% 9 Requires local knowledge or expert review

Quality Thresholds

Acceptable: ≥80% CORRECT, ≤15% INCORRECT
High Quality: ≥90% CORRECT, ≤5% INCORRECT
Red Flag: <70% CORRECT, >20% INCORRECT (indicates algorithm issues)

🐛 Known Issues and Workarounds

Issue 1: CSV Encoding in Excel

Problem: Non-ASCII characters display incorrectly
Solution: Open with UTF-8 encoding explicitly

Issue 2: Long URLs Break Spreadsheet

Problem: wikidata_url column too wide
Solution: Hide column, use click-through instead

Issue 3: Progress Checker Shows 0%

Problem: validation_status not recognized
Solution: Use EXACT caps: CORRECT, INCORRECT, UNCERTAIN

Issue 4: Can't Decide Status

Problem: Ambiguous match
Solution: Mark UNCERTAIN, add detailed notes, flag for expert
