Hi Samantha - I have a question related to your answer for Erin. Do you know of a program other than OpenRefine that can fetch URIs from the Getty's reconciliation services? I have been using OpenRefine for AAT vocabulary terms in a data publishing project. My network team took it away because they believe open source is generally not secure.
Thanks! -Nancy Nancy Buck Hoffman Project Assistant Archaeology Collections Kellogg Center Minnesota Historical Society Saint Paul, MN 55102 612-725-2371 On Fri, Aug 16, 2019 at 12:40 PM Sami Norling <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Erin, > > I would highly recommend using OpenRefine <http://openrefine.org>'s > reconciliation service to reconcile the museum's data with ULAN entities. > Once reconciled in OpenRefine, you can then enrich the museum's existing > data with any of the data points available in ULAN.
