||
|
||
## Methodology
|
||
|
||
### 1. SPARQL Query Strategy
|
||
|
||
**Query Target**: Wikidata Query Service (https://query.wikidata.org/sparql)
|
||
|
||
**Query Structure**:
|
||
```sparql
|
||
SELECT DISTINCT ?item ?itemLabel ?itemAltLabel ?viaf ?isil ?geonames WHERE {
|
||
?item wdt:P31/wdt:P279* wd:Q33506 . # Instance of museum (or subclass)
|
||
?item wdt:P17 wd:Q155 . # Country: Brazil
|
||
|
||
# Also query for libraries, archives, galleries, research centers
|
||
UNION { ?item wdt:P31/wdt:P279* wd:Q7075 } # Library
|
||
UNION { ?item wdt:P31/wdt:P279* wd:Q166118 } # Archive
|
||
UNION { ?item wdt:P31/wdt:P279* wd:Q1007870 } # Art gallery
|
||
UNION { ?item wdt:P31/wdt:P279* wd:Q31855 } # Research institute
|
||
|
||
# Optional identifiers
|
||
OPTIONAL { ?item wdt:P214 ?viaf } # VIAF ID
|
||
OPTIONAL { ?item wdt:P791 ?isil } # ISIL code
|
||
OPTIONAL { ?item wdt:P1566 ?geonames } # GeoNames ID
|
||
|
||
SERVICE wikibase:label { bd:serviceParam wikibase:language "pt,en" }
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
**Query Results**: 4,685 Brazilian heritage institutions returned from Wikidata
|
||
|
||
### 2. Portuguese Name Normalization
|
||
|
||
To improve matching accuracy, we normalized institution names by removing common Portuguese prefixes:
|
||
|
||
**Normalization Rules**:
|
||
- Remove "Museu" / "Museum" → "de Arte de São Paulo" (MASP)
|
||
- Remove "Biblioteca" / "Library" → "Nacional do Brasil"
|
||
- Remove "Arquivo" / "Archive" → "Público do Estado"
|
||
- Remove "Instituto" / "Institute" → "Moreira Salles"
|
||
- Strip articles: "o", "a", "os", "as", "de", "da", "do", "dos", "das"
|
||
- Lowercase and remove punctuation for comparison
|
||
|
||
**Example**:
|
||
```python
|
||
# Original name
|
||
"Museu de Arte de São Paulo Assis Chateaubriand"
|
||
|
||
# Normalized for matching
|
||
"arte sao paulo assis chateaubriand"
|
||
|
||
# Wikidata label: "Museu de Arte de São Paulo"
|
||
# Normalized: "arte sao paulo"
|
||
|
||
# Match score: 100% (fuzzy match on core components)
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### 3. Fuzzy Matching Algorithm
|
||
|
||
**Library**: RapidFuzz (Levenshtein distance-based)
|
||
|
||
**Threshold**: 70% minimum similarity score
|
||
|
||
**Matching Strategy**:
|
||
1. Normalize both institution name and Wikidata label
|
||
2. Compute fuzzy match score (0.0 to 1.0)
|
||
3. If score ≥ 0.70, accept match
|
||
4. Cross-check institution type compatibility (museum → museum, library → library)
|
||
5. Record match score in enrichment_history
|
||
|
||
**Type Compatibility Matrix**:
|
||
| Our Type | Wikidata Class | Compatible |
|
||
|----------|----------------|------------|
|
||
| MUSEUM | wd:Q33506 (museum) | ✅ |
|
||
| LIBRARY | wd:Q7075 (library) | ✅ |
|
||
| ARCHIVE | wd:Q166118 (archive) | ✅ |
|
||
| OFFICIAL_INSTITUTION | wd:Q31855 (research institute) | ✅ |
|
||
| RESEARCH_CENTER | wd:Q31855 (research institute) | ✅ |
|
||
| MIXED | Any heritage type | ✅ |
|
||
| EDUCATION_PROVIDER | wd:Q3918 (university) | ⚠️ (low priority) |
|
||
|
||
### 4. Enrichment Process
|
||
|
||
For each of the 212 Brazilian institutions:
|
||
|
||
1. **Load institution record** from `globalglam-20251111.yaml`
|
||
2. **Check if Wikidata already exists** (skip if enriched in Phase 1)
|
||
3. **Normalize institution name** using Portuguese rules
|
||
4. **Query Wikidata results** (4,685 candidates)
|
||
5. **Fuzzy match** against all Wikidata labels and alternative labels
|
||
6. **Filter by type compatibility** (museum matches museum, etc.)
|
||
7. **Select best match** (highest score ≥ 0.70)
|
||
8. **Add Wikidata identifier** to institution record
|
||
9. **Record enrichment metadata**:
|
||
- `enrichment_date`: 2025-11-11T15:00:31+00:00
|
||
- `enrichment_method`: "SPARQL query + fuzzy name matching (Portuguese normalization, 70% threshold)"
|
||
- `match_score`: 0.70 to 1.0
|
||
- `enrichment_notes`: Detailed match description

|
||
- ✅ **50% of matches** have confidence ≥ 90% (high-quality, minimal manual review needed)
|
||
- ⚠️ **37.5% of matches** are in 70-79% range (should be manually verified)

### Acceptable Matches (70-79%) - Require Manual Review
|

|
||
26-40. *[Remaining 15 institutions with 70-79% match scores - full list in enrichment data]*
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## Remaining Institutions (143 without Wikidata)
|
||
|
||
After Phase 2, **143 institutions** (67.5%) still lack Wikidata identifiers.
|
||
|
||
### Breakdown by Type
|
||
|
||
| Type | Count | % of Remaining | Why Not Matched |
|
||
|------|-------|----------------|-----------------|
|
||
| **MIXED** | 51 | 35.7% | Generic "cultural centers" without specific Wikidata entries |
|
||
| **EDUCATION_PROVIDER** | 43 | 30.1% | Universities/schools, not in heritage institution scope |
|
||
| **MUSEUM** | 23 | 16.1% | Small regional/municipal museums, not notable enough for Wikidata |
|
||
| **OFFICIAL_INSTITUTION** | 10 | 7.0% | Government cultural agencies, low Wikidata coverage |
|
||
| **ARCHIVE** | 9 | 6.3% | Municipal/state archives, sparse Wikidata representation |
|
||
| **LIBRARY** | 3 | 2.1% | Public libraries, not in Wikidata |
|
||
| **RESEARCH_CENTER** | 1 | 0.7% | Small research institutes |
|
||
| **GALLERY** | 1 | 0.7% | Private galleries |
|
||
| **CORPORATION** | 1 | 0.7% | Corporate heritage collections |
|
||
| **PERSONAL_COLLECTION** | 1 | 0.7% | Private collections |
|
||
|
||
### Why These Institutions Weren't Matched
|
||
|
||
**1. Generic Cultural Centers (51 MIXED institutions)**
|
||
- Names like "Casa de Cultura", "Centro Cultural", "Espaço Cultural"
|
||
- Wikidata has limited entries for municipal cultural centers
|
||
- Many serve multiple functions (gallery + library + performance space)
|
||
- **Phase 3 Strategy**: Manual curation, check for alternative names
|
||
|
||
**2. Education Providers (43 institutions)**
|
||
- Universities, technical schools, colleges
|
||
- Not heritage institutions by Wikidata definition
|
||
- **Recommendation**: May need to reclassify or exclude from enrichment target
|
||
|
||
**3. Small Regional Museums (23 institutions)**
|
||
- Municipal historical museums without Wikipedia articles
|
||
- "Museu Municipal", "Casa do Patrimônio", etc.
|
||
- Limited notability for Wikidata inclusion
|
||
- **Phase 3 Strategy**: Create Wikidata entries collaboratively with Brazilian heritage community
|
||
|
||
**4. Government Archives (9 ARCHIVE institutions)**
|
||
- State and municipal archives
|
||
- Low Wikidata coverage for Brazilian archival institutions
|
||
- **Phase 3 Strategy**: Systematic Wikidata creation campaign
|
||
|
||
**5. Public Libraries (3 LIBRARY institutions)**
|
||
- Municipal public libraries
|
||
- Most Brazilian libraries not in Wikidata
|
||
- **Phase 3 Strategy**: Coordinate with Brazilian library associations
|
||
|
||
### Geographic Distribution of Remaining Institutions
|
||
|
||
**States with Lowest Wikidata Coverage**:
|
||
- Acre (AC): 0/9 institutions (0%)
|
||
- Roraima (RR): 0/4 institutions (0%)
|
||
- Amapá (AP): 1/5 institutions (20%)
|
||
- Tocantins (TO): 0/3 institutions (0%)
|
||
|
||
**Opportunity**: Targeted enrichment campaigns for underrepresented states
|
||

|
||
|
||
## Validation Strategy
|
||
|
||
### 1. Automated Validation (Completed)
|
||
|
||
✅ **Match score threshold**: All matches ≥ 70%
|
||
✅ **Type compatibility**: Institution types aligned with Wikidata classes
|
||
✅ **Duplicate detection**: No duplicate Q-numbers assigned
|
||
✅ **Provenance tracking**: All 40 enrichments have complete metadata
|
||
|
||
### 2. Manual Validation (Recommended)
|
||
|
||
Priority for manual review:
|
||
|
||
**High Priority** (15 institutions with 70-79% match scores):
|
||
- Verify name matching against Wikidata descriptions
|
||
- Check for alternative names or official names
|
||
- Confirm geographic location matches
|
||
- Validate institutional type
|
||
|
||
**Medium Priority** (5 institutions with 80-89% match scores):
|
||
- Spot-check for accuracy
|
||
- Verify Q-numbers resolve correctly
|
||
|
||
**Low Priority** (20 institutions with 90-100% match scores):
|
||
- Assume correct (45% of total are perfect matches)
|
||
- Random sampling for quality assurance
|
||
|
||
### 3. Community Validation
|
||
|
||
**Recommended Process**:
|
||
1. Share enrichment report with Brazilian GLAM community
|
||
2. Request feedback on match accuracy
|
||
3. Crowdsource corrections for 70-79% matches
|
||
4. Identify missing institutions in Wikidata (potential new Q-numbers)

|
||
## Lessons Learned
|
||
|
||
### What Worked Well ✅
|
||
|
||
1. **Portuguese normalization rules**
|
||
- Removing "Museu", "Biblioteca", "Arquivo" significantly improved matching
|
||
- Handling Brazilian Portuguese diacritics (ç, ã, õ, etc.) crucial
|
||
|
||
2. **70% fuzzy threshold**
|
||
- Balanced precision vs. recall effectively
|
||
- Captured variations like "MASP" vs "Museu de Arte de São Paulo"
|
||
|
||
3. **SPARQL batch query**
|
||
- Single query for 4,685 institutions faster than individual API calls
|
||
- Reduced API rate limiting issues
|
||
|
||
4. **Enrichment history tracking**
|
||
- Match scores enable prioritized manual review
|
||
- Provenance metadata provides audit trail
|
||
|
||
### Challenges Encountered ⚠️
|
||
|
||
1. **Generic institution names**
|
||
- "Casa de Cultura", "Centro Cultural" too vague for reliable matching
|
||
- Many Brazilian cultural centers lack Wikidata entries
|
||
|
||
2. **Missing geographic data**
|
||
- 60% of enriched institutions have "Unknown City"
|
||
- Limits geographic-based validation and analysis
|
||
|
||
3. **Education provider classification**
|
||
- 43 universities/schools in dataset, but not in Wikidata heritage scope
|
||
- May need reclassification or exclusion from enrichment targets
|
||
|
||
4. **Alternative names not captured**
|
||
- Many institutions known by abbreviations (MASP, CCBB, MAE)
|
||
- Phase 1 extraction didn't capture alternative names consistently
|
||
|
||
### Recommendations for Phase 3
|
||
|
||
1. **Geographic enrichment priority**
|
||
- Run geocoding pass to fill "Unknown City" for 60% of institutions
|
||
- Use Google Maps API or Brazilian geographic databases
|
||
|
||
2. **Alternative name search**
|
||
- Query Wikidata with alternative names from institutional websites
|
||
- Expected +20-30 additional matches
|
||
|
||
3. **Portuguese Wikidata creation**
|
||
- Coordinate with Wikimedia Brasil to create Q-numbers for notable institutions
|
||
- Focus on state/municipal museums and archives with >50 years history
|
||
|
||
4. **City-level targeted enrichment**
|
||
- São Paulo: 23 institutions (65% need enrichment)
|
||
- Rio de Janeiro: 18 institutions (72% need enrichment)
|
||
- Manual curation for major cities likely more effective than automated matching
|
||
|
||
5. **Type reclassification**
|
||
- Review 43 EDUCATION_PROVIDER institutions
|
||
- Reclassify universities with significant heritage collections as RESEARCH_CENTER or UNIVERSITY

|
||
3. Remove prepositions: de, da, do, dos, das, em, no, na
|
||
4. Normalize diacritics: ç→c, ã→a, õ→o, á→a, etc.

### C. Fuzzy Matching Implementation
|
||
|
||
```python
|
||
from rapidfuzz import fuzz
|
||
|
||
def fuzzy_match_institution(
|
||
institution_name: str,
|
||
wikidata_label: str,

||
"""
|
||
Fuzzy match institution name against Wikidata labels.
|
||
|
||
Returns:

||
"""
|
||
# Normalize both names
|
||
norm_inst = normalize_portuguese_name(institution_name)
|
||
norm_wd_label = normalize_portuguese_name(wikidata_label)
|
||
|
||
# Try primary label
|
||
score = fuzz.ratio(norm_inst, norm_wd_label) / 100.0
|
||
best_score = score
|
||
best_label = wikidata_label
|
||
|
||
# Try alternative labels

"MASP",
|
||
"Museu de Arte de São Paulo",
|
||
["São Paulo Museum of Art", "MASP"]

# Output: (1.0, "MASP")
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### D. Performance Benchmarks
|
||
|
||
**Hardware**: M2 MacBook Pro, 16GB RAM, macOS Sonoma
|
||
|
||
| Operation | Time | Throughput |
|
||
|-----------|------|------------|
|
||
| SPARQL query (4,685 results) | 45s | 104 institutions/sec |
|
||
| Single fuzzy match | 0.19ms | 5,263 matches/sec |
|
||
| Full enrichment (212 institutions) | 162s | 1.31 institutions/sec |
|
||
| YAML serialization (13,502 institutions) | 27s | 500 institutions/sec |
|
||
|
||
**Optimization Opportunities**:
|
||
- Parallel fuzzy matching (multiprocessing): ~3-4x speedup
|
||
- Caching normalized names: ~20% speedup
|
||
- Indexed Wikidata lookup (SQLite): ~50% speedup for repeated queries
|
||
|

|
||
|
||
## Conclusion
|
||
|
||
Phase 2 enrichment successfully improved Brazilian GLAM institution coverage from 13.7% to 32.5%, exceeding the 30% target. The SPARQL batch query approach combined with Portuguese name normalization proved effective, yielding 40 new Wikidata identifiers with 45% perfect matches.
|
||
|
||
Key success factors:
|
||
- ✅ Language-specific normalization (Portuguese prefixes and diacritics)
|
||
- ✅ Balanced fuzzy threshold (70% precision vs. recall)
|
||
- ✅ Comprehensive provenance tracking for quality assurance
|
||
- ✅ Type compatibility checks to prevent mismatches
|
||
|
||
Remaining challenges:
|
||
- ⚠️ 60% of enriched institutions lack city data (geocoding priority)
|
||
- ⚠️ Generic cultural centers difficult to disambiguate (143 institutions remain)
|
||
- ⚠️ Education providers (43) may need reclassification or scope exclusion
|
||
|
||
**Next milestone**: Mexico Phase 2 enrichment (target: 35%+ coverage from current 15%), followed by Brazil Phase 3 (alternative name search, manual curation, target: 50%+ coverage).
