Insights and Lessons
1. ISIL Exact Matching is Gold Standard
- Precision: 100% (no false positives)
- Speed: Fastest method
- Coverage: 36.2% for Japan, higher for smaller countries
- Recommendation: Always start with ISIL exact matching
2. Wikidata Coverage Varies Widely
- Excellent: Austria (4,863), Japan (5,000+)
- Good: Belgium (2,799), Bulgaria (2,824)
- Poor: Belarus (32)
- Implication: Enrichment rates depend on Wikidata documentation quality
3. Dataset Size Doesn't Reduce Quality
- Japan: 12,064 institutions, 36.2% enrichment, 30 minutes
- Belgium: 421 institutions, 56.5% enrichment, 50 minutes
- Takeaway: Larger datasets are more efficient per institution
4. Workflow Optimization Matters
- First country (Belarus): 3 hours
- Last country (Japan): 30 minutes for 72x more data
- Takeaway: Reusable pipeline reduces marginal cost to near-zero
