- Motivation
Property ISIL (P791) can be used to identify libraries and related organizations but several libraries are only listed in the German or Austrian Library Statistics. The database of German and Austrian Library Statistics (Q1202218) is run by North Rhine-Westphalian Library Service Centre (Q18085187). They also provide a nice interface of data merged from ISIL and DBS/ÖBS at http://lobid.org/organisations. Some current numbers:
- 22,000 organizations in lobid-organisations: https://lobid.org/organisations/search?q=*
- more than 12,000 with DBS-ID: https://lobid.org/organisations/search?q=dbsID:*
- around 15.000 with ISIL: https://lobid.org/organisations/search?q=isil:*
