TO DO edit

Authors edit

  • Match more BHL authors to items here --  Y BHL authors run through OpenRefine, if they have (i) dates and (ii) titles with items here
  • Convert more author-name-strings to authors --  Y Updated. Some issues persisting with diacritics.
  • Add family names from BHL to author items
  •  Y Add 'named as' to BHL authors that don't have them -- but some not updated in triplestore tinyurl.com/yauzplqh (567)
  • Consistency checks -- eg published before born   tinyurl.com/y7pej6hr (236) (some may have been owners not authors)
    • Re-check against BHL dates: qy for comparison file: tinyurl.com/y8w9mo4g
  • Entomologists of the World ID (P5370) with no BHL creator ID (P4081): tinyurl.com/ybpmn5m7 (6717)

Periodicals edit

  • Initial posting to WikiProject Periodicals
  • Identify periodicals and change instance of (P31) for titles with  YISSNs,  YBPHs,,  Y 'periodical' identification from LoC LCCN (some),  Y lots of volumes tinyurl.com/yaxx6wle (129) (some) (looked at with > 10 vols),  Y 'annual' volume labels (some),  Y catalogue series
    • information also in 'genre' section of BHL title pages
  • Merge titles with duplicate ISSNs:   BHL <-> non-BHL tinyurl.com/yd5k2qhw (323 24), also by number of BHL items: tinyurl.com/y96ol4tm <- Priority   BHL <-> BHL tinyurl.com/y7k5397x (18)
    • other identifiers: CODEN tinyurl.com/ybmgz367
    •  Y ISSN fmt check: tinyurl.com/y94xfegp
    •   Serials with the most BHL items, but no ISSN: tinyurl.com/ydhyplmg
  • Compare against BHL links from Tropicos publication ID (P4904), IPNI publication ID (P2008), wikispecies, es-wiki
  •   Journals where BHL range extends outside title stated lifetime tinyurl.com/y9djhebw
  • Better classification of periodicals
  • Find periodicals in BHL titles as yet without items
    •   Match periodicals with OpenRefine, consider creating remainder -- underway
  • Qualify ISSNs with multiple values when 'print' / 'online'

Books edit

  • Initial posting to WikiProject Books
  • Improve classification: editions / tech reports / catalogues / periodicals etc (use keyword info, series info, ...)
  • Identify multiple editions of the same book; create work items
  • Add subject topics -- see discussion - may need new property?

Page refs, etc edit

  • Try to use page refs to match articles / containing publications / creators; cf query: tinyurl.com/ybsalpb9 with sample page link:tinyurl.com/y77yzhxy
    •  Y -- first pass done
  • full work available at URL (P953) "biodiversitylibrary" --  Y tinyurl.com/y95dglul (24)
  • DOI (P356) "10.5962/bhl.title" --  Y tinyurl.com/ybrud2fh
  • BioStor work ID (P5315) -- tinyurl.com/y733czfp
  • Mine Wikispecies for BHL links, not necessarily carried forward, eg [1]
    •  Y -- ISSN & source pages done
  • Look for related abbreviations: tinyurl.com/y9gc2qpp
  • Periodicals still unmatched to existing item: tinyurl.com/yapmoujh (2308)
  • Periodicals with multiple BHLs: tinyurl.com/y8tdzjo4

Commons edit

  • Link titles -> Commonscats (but hold off until more refined here?)

Data Uploads -- BHL edit

Data from per-title RIS files edit

Fields, for the 63,229 wikidata 'title' items; they are repeated, for each volume ("BHL item")

  • KW -- keyword (444907) --   awaiting decision on Wikidata:Property proposal/subject facet
  • AU -- author (216374) --  Y added (as strings) in Magnus's initial upload. Conversion to items needed. Roles can vary. (eg "former owner").
  • ER -- end record (129278) -- end of info for each BHL item
  • UR -- URL (129278) -- <=> BHL item identifier
  • TY -- type(129278) -- always "BOOK"
  • TI -- title (129278) --  Y added in Magnus's initial upload. (But check?)
  • PY -- Publication year (128661) --  Y added in Magnus's initial upload. (But check?)
  • CY -- City (of publication) (117826) --  Y 41,570 added where matched to items. Needs sanity checking. Try again on remainder.
  • PB -- Publisher (115581) --  Y added as string. Needs conversion into items.   Discuss how many items for publishing houses with long histories.
  • N1 -- notes (92954)
  • VL -- volume (91243)
  • SN -- shelf number (31813)
  • ET -- edition (5354) --  Y added for 4536

BHL files edit

The BHL offers a number of files for download -- see data exports page, and schema

BHL pages edit

Data also available by API -- see [2], in particular GetTitleMetadata()

It appears the API return can sometimes give additional information, eg by breaking some of the fields up structurally -- such an organisational name into that of an umbrella body and a subunit, or a series identification in a journal name. It also sometimes has fields specifying the nature of a value, such as the type of a note.

On the other hand, there may also be details on the HTML page not returned by the API, for example the related works of Journal of Botany, being a second series of the Botanical Miscellany (Q51434285) (BHL title 234). ((Held in the "TitleAssociation" table ? -- cf BHL internal table documentation at [3])), or the 'series' of BHL #102113

Information available includes:

  • Title/Bibliographic Level
  • Creator/Relationship
  • Variant/Title, Variant/TitleVariantTypeName
