Technical Details

Scraping Methodology

  • Tool: Playwright MCP browser automation (headless mode)
  • Rate limiting: 2-second delays between page requests
  • Error handling: Logs warnings for empty pages, continues processing
  • Output format: JSON arrays, one file per page, UTF-8 encoded
  • Validation: ISIL code format validation (AT-* pattern)

Data Processing Pipeline

1. Scrape pages 1-23
   ├─ Extract institution names + ISIL codes
   ├─ Save to page_NNN_data.json
   └─ Log statistics

2. Merge page files
   ├─ Load all 23 page files
   ├─ Normalize field names (isil_code/isil)
   ├─ Handle two JSON formats (array vs. object)
   ├─ Filter out null ISIL codes
   ├─ Deduplicate by ISIL code
   └─ Output: austrian_isil_merged.json

3. Parse to LinkML
   ├─ Infer institution type from German name
   ├─ Extract location from ISIL code structure
   ├─ Generate persistent identifiers
   ├─ Add provenance metadata
   └─ Output: austria_isil.yaml

Institution Type Distribution

Type Count Percentage
LIBRARY 126 56.5%
ARCHIVE 64 28.7%
UNKNOWN 14 6.3%
MUSEUM 10 4.5%
OFFICIAL_INSTITUTION 4 1.8%
HOLY_SITES 3 1.3%
RESEARCH_CENTER 2 0.9%

Total: 223 institutions

Type Inference Logic (German Terms)

  • ARCHIVE: "archiv"
  • LIBRARY: "bibliothek", "bücherei"
  • MUSEUM: "museum"
  • EDUCATION_PROVIDER: "universität", "fachhochschule"
  • RESEARCH_CENTER: "forschung"
  • HOLY_SITES: "stift", "kloster", "kirch"
  • OFFICIAL_INSTITUTION: "amt", "landes"
  • UNKNOWN: Default for unclassified

Location Extraction

Attempted extraction from ISIL code structure (e.g., AT-WSTLA → Wien):

city_codes = {
    'W': 'Wien', 'WIEN': 'Wien', 'WSTLA': 'Wien',
    'SBG': 'Salzburg', 'STAR': 'Graz', 'STARG': 'Graz',
    'LENT': 'Linz', 'IBK': 'Innsbruck',
    'BLA': 'Eisenstadt', 'KLA': 'Klagenfurt',
    'VLA': 'Bregenz', 'NOe': 'St. Pölten',
    'OOe': 'Linz', 'SLA': 'Salzburg'
}

Note: Many ISIL codes don't encode city information, so most records only have country: AT.

Data Quality Assessment

Strengths

✅ Authoritative source: Official Austrian ISIL registry
✅ High confidence: 0.95 confidence score for all records
✅ Complete ISIL codes: 100% valid AT-* format codes
✅ Data tier: TIER_1_AUTHORITATIVE (highest quality)
✅ No duplicates: All 223 institutions have unique ISIL codes

Limitations

⚠️ Limited geographic data: Most records lack city/region information
⚠️ Type inference: Based on name pattern matching (not authoritative classification)
⚠️ No contact information: Registry doesn't include addresses, phone numbers, websites
⚠️ No collection metadata: Only institutional metadata available
⚠️ Missing GHCIDs: Not generated due to incomplete location data

Data Gaps

  • 1 institution excluded: Johannes Kepler Universität Linz chemistry library branch (null ISIL code)
  • 14 institutions unclassified: Type inference failed (marked as UNKNOWN)
  • Limited provenance: No historical data (founding dates, mergers, etc.)

LinkML Schema Compliance

All 223 records conform to the modular LinkML schema v0.2.1:

Schema Modules Used

  • schemas/core.yaml: HeritageCustodian, Location, Identifier classes
  • schemas/enums.yaml: InstitutionTypeEnum (GLAMORCUBESFIXPHDNT taxonomy)
  • schemas/provenance.yaml: Provenance class with data_source, data_tier

Example Record

- id: https://w3id.org/heritage/custodian/at/wstla
  name: Wiener Stadt- und Landesarchiv
  institution_type: ARCHIVE
  identifiers:
    - identifier_scheme: ISIL
      identifier_value: AT-WSTLA
      identifier_url: https://permalink.obvsg.at/ais/AT-WSTLA
  locations:
    - city: Wien
      country: AT
  provenance:
    data_source: CSV_REGISTRY
    data_tier: TIER_1_AUTHORITATIVE
    extraction_date: '2025-11-18T12:43:45.601212+00:00'
    extraction_method: 'Playwright MCP browser automation from Austrian ISIL database'
    confidence_score: 0.95

Next Steps for Future Work

Immediate Priorities

  1. Enrichment with Wikidata

    • Query Wikidata for Austrian institutions
    • Match by ISIL code and fuzzy name matching
    • Add Wikidata Q-numbers, VIAF IDs, GeoNames IDs
    • Script: scripts/enrich_austrian_institutions.py (to be created)

  2. Geographic Enrichment

    • Geocode addresses using Nominatim API
    • Extract city/region from institution names
    • Add lat/lon coordinates for mapping
    • Script: scripts/geocode_austrian_institutions.py (to be created)

  3. GHCID Generation

    • Once location data is enriched
    • Generate Global Heritage Custodian IDs
    • Format: AT-REGION-CITY-TYPE-ABBREV
    • Add UUID v5 and numeric identifiers

Enhancement Opportunities

  1. Website Scraping

    • Extract URLs from ISIL permalink pages
    • Crawl institutional websites for metadata
    • Add contact information, collection descriptions
    • Script: scripts/scrape_austrian_websites.py (to be created)

  2. Manual Validation

    • Review 14 UNKNOWN type institutions
    • Correct type classifications where possible
    • Add notes for ambiguous cases
    • File: data/manual_enrichment/austria_corrections.yaml

  3. Integration with Global Dataset

    • Merge with other national ISIL registries
    • Cross-link with Europeana data
    • Add to unified GLAM knowledge graph
    • Script: scripts/merge_global_isil_registries.py

Research Questions

  1. Database Discrepancy Investigation

    • Why does website show "1,934 results" when only ~225 exist?
    • Are there multiple record types (institutions vs. holdings)?
    • Is the count including historical records or branches?
    • Action: Manual investigation via website browsing

  2. Type Distribution Analysis

    • Is 56% libraries typical for Austrian heritage sector?
    • Compare with Dutch ISIL registry (NL-* codes)
    • Analyze differences in national ISIL assignment practices
    • Output: docs/reports/austrian_isil_analysis.md

Lessons Learned

What Worked Well

✅ Script-based scraping: ~30x faster than interactive agent-based extraction
✅ Modular scripts: Separate scraper, merger, parser for maintainability
✅ Robust format handling: Scripts handle both JSON array and metadata object formats
✅ Error logging: Warnings for empty pages, missing codes, parsing failures
✅ Incremental approach: Tested on small page ranges before full scrape

What Could Be Improved

⚠️ Type inference accuracy: 6% UNKNOWN rate suggests pattern matching limitations
⚠️ Location extraction: ISIL code parsing too fragile, most records lack city data
⚠️ GHCID generation: Skipped due to incomplete location data (requires manual enrichment)
⚠️ Duplicate detection: Could add fuzzy name matching to catch variants
⚠️ Rate limiting: 2-second delays may be overly cautious (test with 1 second)

Recommendations for Future Sessions

  1. Always verify page count before scraping entire dataset (avoid wasted requests)
  2. Check for format inconsistencies early (array vs. object, field name variations)
  3. Use test mode (--start 1 --end 3) to validate scraper before full run
  4. Document extraction methodology in provenance metadata for reproducibility
  5. Plan enrichment strategy before extraction (Wikidata, geocoding, etc.)
