Session Summary: Australian Heritage Institution Extraction

Date: 2025-11-18
Focus: Trove API extraction for Australian ISIL/NUC codes
Status: ✅ Ready to Extract

What We Accomplished

1. Research Phase ✅

Investigated Australian ISIL System:

Authority: National Library of Australia (NLA)
System: Australian Interlibrary Resource Sharing (ILRS) Directory
Identifier: NUC (National Union Catalogue) symbols → ISIL format: AU-{NUC}
API: Trove API v3 provides contributor data

Key Findings:

Trove API: 200-500 institutions (contributing organizations)
ILRS Directory: 800-1,200 institutions (full registry, requires scraping)
Data quality: TIER_1_AUTHORITATIVE (official NLA registry)

2. Script Development ✅

Created: scripts/extract_trove_contributors.py (697 lines)

Features:

✅ Trove API v3 client with rate limiting (200 req/min)
✅ GHCID generator (UUID v5, numeric, base string)
✅ Institution type classifier (GLAMORCUBESFIXPHDNT taxonomy)
✅ LinkML schema mapper (HeritageCustodian v0.2.1)
✅ Multi-format exporter (YAML, JSON, CSV)
✅ Provenance tracking (TIER_1_AUTHORITATIVE, confidence 0.95)
✅ Type hints fixed (Optional parameters)
✅ Syntax validation passed

Script Status: Ready to run (requires Trove API key)

3. Documentation ✅

How to Use

Quick Start

# Step 1: Get API key (5 minutes)
# Visit: https://trove.nla.gov.au/about/create-something/using-api
# Register and check email for key

# Step 2: Run extraction (2-5 minutes)
cd /Users/kempersc/apps/glam
python scripts/extract_trove_contributors.py --api-key YOUR_TROVE_API_KEY

# Step 3: Validate results
wc -l data/instances/trove_contributors_*.csv
head -n 50 data/instances/trove_contributors_*.yaml

Expected Output

What's Next

Immediate Priority: Run Extraction

Action: Obtain Trove API key and run extraction script

Expected Results:

200-500 Australian heritage institutions
TIER_1_AUTHORITATIVE data quality
Complete metadata (names, identifiers, locations)

Time Required: 10-15 minutes total (including API registration)

Future Enhancements

Data Enrichment:
- Geocoding (cities → lat/lon coordinates)
- Wikidata cross-referencing (Q-numbers for GHCIDs)
- Location normalization (standardize city/state names)
Full ISIL Coverage:
- Build ILRS Directory scraper
- Extract non-contributing institutions
- Merge with Trove data (estimated 800-1,200 total institutions)
Integration:
- Cross-reference with Dutch ISIL registry (comparison study)
- Find Australian institutions in conversation JSON files
- Generate unified RDF export (global GHCID registry)

Coverage and Limitations

What Trove API Provides ✅

Organizations contributing to Trove
Official NUC codes (ISIL equivalent)
Institutional names and alternative names
Homepage and catalogue URLs
Geographic locations (city, state)
Access policies (partial)

What Trove API Does NOT Provide ❌

Non-contributing institutions
Private collections not shared with Trove
Recently established institutions pending registration
Detailed ILL policies and service levels
Complete street addresses

To Get Full Coverage

Option 1: Web scraping ILRS Directory

URL: https://www.nla.gov.au/apps/ilrs/
Method: Playwright/Selenium
Additional data: 300-700 institutions

Option 2: Formal data request from NLA

Contact: NLA ILRS team
Request: Bulk ISIL data export
Format: CSV or XML

Data Quality

TIER_1_AUTHORITATIVE Classification

Why TIER_1?

✅ Official government source (National Library of Australia)
✅ Actively maintained registry (curated by NLA staff)
✅ Quality controlled (organizations verified before inclusion)
✅ Standards compliant (NUC codes map to ISIL standard ISO 15511)
✅ Current data (regularly updated by contributing institutions)

Confidence Score: 0.95 (very high)

Rationale:

Data comes directly from authoritative API
No NLP extraction or inference required
Minimal ambiguity in institution classification
5% margin accounts for potential type classification edge cases

Technical Notes

API Rate Limits

Trove API v3: 200 requests per minute

Script Compliance:

Default delay: 0.3 seconds (≈200 req/min)
Configurable via --delay parameter
Progress logging every 50 records

Estimated Time:

200 institutions: ~1 minute
500 institutions: ~2.5 minutes

Dependencies

Required (already installed):

requests - HTTP client
pyyaml - YAML parsing
Python 3.9+

Optional:

linkml - Schema validation (not required for extraction)

Error Handling

Script handles:

Missing/invalid API keys
Network failures
Rate limit errors
Invalid/incomplete contributor data
Missing metadata fields

Logging:

INFO: Progress updates
WARNING: Missing fields, fallback to brief records
ERROR: API failures, validation errors
