Objective

Consolidate fragmented Austrian heritage institution data from multiple sources into a unified dataset.

Data Sources

  • Parsed: 1,928 institutions
  • ISIL codes: 358 unique codes
  • Issues fixed: Null handling, format detection

2. Wikidata SPARQL Results

  • File: austria_wikidata_institutions.json
  • Format: SPARQL JSON bindings
  • Parsed: 4,859 SPARQL rows
  • After dedup: 2,729 with Wikidata IDs
  • Coverage: Rich institution types (Museums, Libraries, Archives, Zoos, etc.)
  • Metadata: Coordinates, descriptions, VIAF, ISIL, websites

3. OpenStreetMap Libraries

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

  1. LinkML conversion

    • Export to HeritageCustodian schema
    • Generate GHCID identifiers
    • Add PROV-O provenance tracking

  2. Wikidata enrichment

    • Query Wikidata for missing ISIL codes
    • Add Wikidata IDs to ISIL-only records
    • Verify existing Wikidata linkages

  3. OSM expansion

    • Query OSM for museums, archives (not just libraries)
    • Add architectural heritage sites
    • Enrich address data

  • All 748 OSM elements parsed
  • No data loss during deduplication (sources tracked)

Output Quality ✅

  • JSON validates (well-formed)
  • Statistics match record counts
  • No duplicate ISIL codes in final dataset
  • All multi-source merges documented

Provenance ✅

  • Source files tracked for each record
  • Data source types preserved
  • Multi-source records flagged (96 institutions)

Performance Metrics

  • Total processing time: ~3 minutes
  • ISIL parsing: 194 files in 5 seconds
  • 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.
