📊 Dataset Statistics
Fuzzy Match Analysis
Total Fuzzy Matches: 185 (24.1% of 769 Wikidata links)
By Priority:
| Priority | Score Range | Count | % of Fuzzy |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 85-87% | 58 | 31.4% |
| 2 | 87-90% | 62 | 33.5% |
| 3 | 90-93% | 44 | 23.8% |
| 4 | 93-96% | 14 | 7.6% |
| 5 | 96-99% | 7 | 3.8% |
By Institution Type:
- LIBRARY: 152 (82.2%)
- ARCHIVE: 33 (17.8%)
Key Insight: Priority 1-2 represent 64.9% of fuzzy matches and should be focus of manual review.
Sample Review Records
Record 1 (Priority 1, 85.0%):
- Institution: "Campus Vejle, Biblioteket"
- Wikidata: "Vejle Bibliotek"
- Issue: Branch suffix ", Biblioteket" suggests branch vs main library
- Likely outcome: INCORRECT
Record 3 (Priority 1, 85.0%):
- Institution: "Gladsaxe Bibliotekerne, Hovedbiblioteket"
- Wikidata: "Gentofte Bibliotekerne, Hovedbiblioteket"
- Issue: City mismatch (Gladsaxe vs Gentofte)
- Likely outcome: INCORRECT
Record 4 (Priority 1, 85.0%):
- Institution: "Biblioteksspot Roager"
- Wikidata: "Biblioteket Broager"
- Issue: Name similarity but different spelling (Roager vs Broager)
- Likely outcome: UNCERTAIN (needs Danish local knowledge)
🔍 Key Patterns Identified
Pattern 1: Branch Library Suffixes
Issue: Institution names ending with ", Biblioteket" (the library)
Count: ~30% of Priority 1 matches
Example: "Campus Vejle, Biblioteket" vs "Vejle Bibliotek"
Resolution: Likely INCORRECT (branch matched to main)
Pattern 2: Gymnasium Libraries
Issue: School libraries matched to public libraries
Count: ~15% of Priority 1 matches
Example: "Fredericia Gymnasium, Biblioteket" vs "Fredericia Bibliotek"
Resolution: Likely INCORRECT (type mismatch)
Pattern 3: City Name Variations
Issue: Similar institution names in different cities
Count: ~10% of matches
Example: "Fur Lokalhistoriske Arkiv" (Skive) vs "Randers Lokalhistoriske Arkiv" (Randers)
Resolution: INCORRECT (location mismatch)
Pattern 4: Multilingual Variants
Issue: Danish name vs English Wikidata label
Count: ~20% of matches
Example: "Rigsarkivet" vs "Danish National Archives"
Resolution: Likely CORRECT (same entity, different language)
Pattern 5: Missing ISIL Codes
Issue: No ISIL code to cross-validate
Count: ~40% of Priority 1 matches
Resolution: Requires manual city/name/type verification
⏱️ Time Estimates
Priority 1-2 (120 matches):
- Average time per match: 2-3 minutes
- Total estimated time: 4-6 hours
- Focus: Most uncertain matches
Priority 3-5 (65 matches):
- Average time per match: 1-2 minutes
- Total estimated time: 1-2 hours
- Focus: Moderate to high confidence
Total Estimated Time: 5-8 hours
Recommended Approach:
- Start with Priority 1 (2.4 hours)
- Complete Priority 2 (2.6 hours)
- Spot-check Priority 3-5 (1-2 hours)
- Apply validation (automated)
- Re-export RDF (automated)
✅ Quality Expectations
Predicted Outcomes
Based on match score distribution and pattern analysis:
| Status | Expected % | Expected Count | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| CORRECT | 85-90% | 157-167 | Danish/English variants, high-confidence matches |
| INCORRECT | 5-10% | 9-19 | Branch mismatches, type errors, location errors |
| UNCERTAIN | 5% | 9 | Requires local knowledge or expert review |
Quality Thresholds
Acceptable: ≥80% CORRECT, ≤15% INCORRECT
High Quality: ≥90% CORRECT, ≤5% INCORRECT
Red Flag: <70% CORRECT, >20% INCORRECT (indicates algorithm issues)

🐛 Known Issues and Workarounds
Issue 1: CSV Encoding in Excel
Problem: Non-ASCII characters display incorrectly
Solution: Open with UTF-8 encoding explicitly
Issue 2: Long URLs Break Spreadsheet
Problem: wikidata_url column too wide
Solution: Hide column, use click-through instead
Issue 3: Progress Checker Shows 0%
Problem: validation_status not recognized
Solution: Use EXACT caps: CORRECT, INCORRECT, UNCERTAIN
Issue 4: Can't Decide Status
Problem: Ambiguous match
Solution: Mark UNCERTAIN, add detailed notes, flag for expert
