Verification Performed
Data Integrity Checks
- ✅ Identifier Addition: Wikidata and VIAF identifiers correctly added to
identifiersarray - ✅ Provenance Tracking:

Next Steps
Immediate Priorities
-
Validate Medium-Confidence Matches (70-80% fuzzy scores)
- Review 3 candidate institutions from previous SPARQL query:
- Q2917489 vs "Museo Regional de Puebla" (79%)
- Q1402600 vs "Museo de las Culturas de Oaxaca" (71%)
- Q1954283 vs "Museo Universitario Arte Contemporáneo" (70%)
- Manually verify name variations and institution identity
- Create Batch 3 script if matches are confirmed
- Review 3 candidate institutions from previous SPARQL query:
-
Expand Wikidata Query Coverage
- Run SPARQL query with OFFSET to discover additional Mexican institutions
- Target: Find 10-15 more institutions (reach 20-25% coverage)
- Query variations to try:
- Search by Mexican city names (Ciudad de México, Guadalajara, Monterrey, etc.)
- Search by institution type (Q33506 for museums, Q7075 for libraries)
- Search by P131 (located in administrative territory) for Mexican states
-
Create Batch 3+ Scripts
- Design script for next set of verified matches
- Continue iterative enrichment process
- Document each batch with match confidence scores
Long-Term Goals
Coverage Targets:
- Phase 1 (Current): 13.7% → 20% (24/117 institutions)
- Phase 2: 20% → 35% (41/117 institutions)
- Phase 3: 35% → 50% (59/117 institutions)
Quality Assurance:
- Implement manual verification workflow for matches <85% confidence
- Cross-reference with Mexican ISIL registry (if available)
- Validate institution identities using official websites
Documentation:
- Create enrichment methodology document
- Document name variation patterns for Mexican institutions
- Build fuzzy matching configuration for Spanish language
Technical Notes
Script Pattern (Reusable for Future Batches)
# Key components of batch enrichment scripts:
1. Load YAML dataset
2. Define target institutions with Q-numbers and VIAF IDs
3. Duplicate detection (skip already-enriched)
4. Add identifiers to institution records
5. Update provenance.enrichment_history
6. Write updated YAML
7. Report statistics
Enrichment Metadata Structure
provenance:
enrichment_history:
- enrichment_date: "2025-11-12T15:51:51+00:00"
enrichment_method: "Wikidata SPARQL query + VIAF cross-reference (Batch N)"
match_score: [optional - for fuzzy matches]
verified: [optional - for manual verification]
Lessons Learned
- Perfect Matches First: Prioritizing 100% fuzzy score matches minimizes false positives
- Duplicate Detection: Essential to prevent identifier duplication in re-runs
- Provenance Tracking: Enrichment history enables audit trails and batch tracking
- VIAF Cross-Reference: Wikidata → VIAF lookup adds valuable authority control identifiers
Files Modified
-
Data File:
data/instances/mexico/mexican_institutions_geocoded.yaml- Added 4 Wikidata identifiers
- Added 4 VIAF identifiers
- Updated 4 provenance records
-
Script Created:
scripts/enrich_mexico_batch02.py- Pattern-based enrichment workflow
- Reusable for future batches

Handoff for Next Session
Status: ✅ Batch 2 complete - Ready for Batch 3 planning
To Resume:
- Review medium-confidence matches (70-80% scores)
- Query Wikidata with OFFSET=100 for additional institutions
- Create Batch 3 script for next set of verified matches
Key Question: Should we validate the 3 medium-confidence matches manually, or expand the Wikidata query first to find more high-confidence matches?
Current Progress: 16/117 institutions (13.7%) - 101 institutions remaining without Wikidata identifiers.
