Raw Blame History

Session Summary: Brazilian GLAM Geocoding Enrichment (v3.0)

Date: 2025-11-06
Session Focus: Geocoding enrichment of Brazilian heritage institutions
Status: ✓ COMPLETED SUCCESSFULLY

Objectives & Results

Primary Goal

Enrich Brazilian heritage institution records with city-level location data and geographic coordinates using OpenStreetMap Nominatim API.

Target: 60% city coverage (58+ institutions)
Achieved: 59.8% coverage (58 institutions) ✓

What Was Accomplished

1. Fixed Geocoding Script Type Errors

File: enrich_geocoding.py

Issue: Cache methods couldn't store None values for failed lookups due to type hints expecting Dict

Solution: Changed GeocodingCache.set() parameter from value: Dict to value: Optional[Dict]

Result: Script runs without errors, properly caches both successful and failed geocoding attempts

2. Executed Geocoding Enrichment

Input: brazilian_institutions_curated_v2.yaml (97 records)
Output: brazilian_institutions_geocoded_v3.yaml (97 records, enriched)

Processing Details:

  • Total API calls: 89 (8 records already had cities)
  • Processing time: ~1.6 minutes
  • Rate limiting: 1.1 seconds/request (Nominatim compliance)
  • Cache entries: 89 (persistent YAML cache for reuse)

3. Geocoding Performance Metrics

Metric Count Coverage
Total records 97 100%
Already had cities (v2) 8 8.2%
Successfully geocoded 50 51.5%
Failed geocoding 39 40.2%
Total with cities (v3) 58 59.8% ✓
Total with coordinates 50 51.5%
OpenStreetMap IDs added 50 51.5%

4. Geographic Coverage Achieved

  • Unique cities found: 41 cities across Brazil
  • States covered: 26 out of 27 Brazilian states
  • Top cities: Belém (4), Brasília (3), Recife (3), Rio de Janeiro (3)

5. Data Enhancements

Each successfully geocoded record received:

  1. City name - Extracted from OSM address components
  2. Latitude/longitude - Precise geographic coordinates
  3. OpenStreetMap identifier - Format: {osm_type}/{osm_id} with URL
  4. Provenance update:
    • Updated extraction_date timestamp
    • Appended "+ Nominatim geocoding" to extraction_method
    • Increased confidence_score by +0.05 (capped at 0.85)

Example enriched record:

- id: https://w3id.org/heritage/custodian/br/museu-da-borracha
  name: Museu da Borracha
  institution_type: MUSEUM
  locations:
  - country: BR
    region: ACRE
    city: Rio Branco
    latitude: -9.9713816
    longitude: -67.8092503
  identifiers:
  - identifier_scheme: OpenStreetMap
    identifier_value: way/648598614
    identifier_url: https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/648598614
  provenance:
    confidence_score: 0.85
    extraction_method: Automated enrichment v2.1 + Nominatim geocoding

6. Created Analysis Scripts

Scripts Created:

  1. enrich_geocoding.py - Main geocoding enrichment tool (fixed)
  2. check_geocoding_progress.py - Real-time progress monitoring
  3. generate_geocoding_report.py - Comprehensive reporting

Reports Generated:

  • brazilian_geocoding_report_v3.md - Full analysis with failed institutions list

Failed Geocoding Analysis (39 institutions)

Common Patterns in Failed Lookups

  1. Generic/Abbreviation Names (e.g., "SECULT", "UFAC Repository", "State Archives")

    • Nominatim can't disambiguate without specific names

  2. Multi-Institution Clusters (e.g., "USP/UNICAMP/UNESP", "MAR/MAM")

    • Grouped entries representing multiple institutions

  3. Projects/Programs vs. Physical Locations (e.g., "Guarani-Kaiowá Projects", "Tainacan implementations")

    • Not geocodable as single points

  4. Heritage Sites Without Buildings (e.g., "Jalapão Heritage", "UNESCO Goiás Velho")

    • Geographic regions rather than specific institutions

Recommendations for Failed Cases

  1. Manual enrichment - Review 39 failed institutions individually
  2. Alternative geocoding - Try city+state only (without institution name)
  3. Institution type reclassification - Some may need "MIXED" or "RESEARCH_CENTER" updates
  4. IBRAM cross-reference - Match against official Brazilian museum registry

Data Quality Progression

Version History

Version Records City Coverage Coord Coverage Key Achievement
v1 (original) 104 0% 0% Initial extraction
v2 (curated) 97 8.2% 0% Filtered platforms, manual curation
v3 (geocoded) 97 59.8% 51.5% Nominatim enrichment ✓

Coverage Improvements (v2 → v3)

  • City coverage: 8.2% → 59.8% (+51.6 percentage points, +50 records)
  • Coordinate coverage: 0% → 51.5% (+50 records)
  • External identifiers: Added 50 OpenStreetMap IDs

Next Steps & Priorities

Immediate Actions (Same Session)

  1. ✓ Fix geocoding script type errors
  2. ✓ Run geocoding enrichment
  3. ✓ Generate comprehensive report
  4. → NEXT: Website URL enrichment (target: 80%+ from current 9.3%)

Future Enrichment Phases

Phase 4: Website URL Enrichment

  • Target: Extract institutional websites to reach 80%+ URL coverage
  • Method: Web search + validation
  • Estimated effort: 2-3 hours

Phase 5: Wikidata Integration

  • Cross-reference institutions with Wikidata Q-IDs
  • Add multilingual labels
  • Link to VIAF, ISIL where available

Phase 6: IBRAM Registry Validation

  • Compare with official Brazilian museum registry
  • Validate museum classifications
  • Add registration numbers

Phase 7: Collection Metadata Extraction

  • Implement web scraping for institutional websites
  • Extract collection descriptions, sizes, subject areas
  • Add digital platform information

Technical Notes

API Compliance

  • Service: OpenStreetMap Nominatim
  • Rate limit: 1 request/second (we used 1.1s for safety)
  • User-Agent: GLAM-Data-Extraction/0.2.0 (heritage research project)
  • Attribution: OpenStreetMap contributors

Cache Strategy

  • Format: YAML (human-readable, version-controllable)
  • Location: data/cache/geocoding_cache.yaml
  • Behavior: Caches both successful and failed lookups
  • Benefit: Avoid redundant API calls on reruns

Schema Compliance

  • Schema version: LinkML v0.2.0
  • Modules used: core.yaml (Location, Identifier), provenance.yaml (Provenance)
  • Validation: All records conform to modular schema
