Thanks Magnus for the pointers, the mix'n'match data are like jewels for
StrepHit.
Does the database you mentioned also contain the **body** of the
catalogs items, i.e., the raw text of biographies?
If so, I can avoid scraping all those sources, and it would be just perfect.
As a side note, I'm currently outreaching GLAM people to ask for more
biographical sources: links are coming, and I'll definitely import them
into mix'n'match as well.
I was aware of the Sourcerer tool: I'm concerned with those references
coming from Wikipedia articles though, since they stem from inside a
Wikimedia project, and I want to make sure that everything comes from
the outside.
I'm open for discussion with the community about this.
What do you think?
Cheers,
Marco
