Translations:Wikimedia-platformen als toeleiding tot en verrijking van het archief van DE SINGEL/8/en

We created a one-time mapping between the people and organisations in DE SINGEL's database and the items in Wikidata with help from meemoo. OpenRefine software was used for this, which can suggest corresponding items on Wikidata based on the names or people and organisations. The most labour-intensive part of this operation is the manual validation of these suggestions. This operation also detected lots of duplicates in DE SINGEL's database, which we merged after manual checking. We ultimately found corresponding items in Wikidata for 9,100 people and organisations from a total of 19,500. This doesn't mean that all these items now have a Dutch Wikipedia article, but that A QID can be recorded in Salesforce already.
