Hi Pintoch,
I've submitted a batch of new name authority records to VIAF earlier under the contributing organisation NLB and would now like to generate a list displaying the name authorities with the newly assigned VIAF ID. I tried to do this using the reconciliation service in OpenRefine, limiting to those contributed by NLB: http://refine.codefork.com/reconcile/viaf/NLB. However, the success rate of matching is low, with only 172 out of 686 name authorities being matched successfully. I tried to add the original ID of the name authorities (see column TTE UID below) as a property to match against MARC tag 035 in VIAF, but it doesn't seems to be working in OpenRefine. How do I improve the success rate of matching with VIAF?
Below is a sample of the Excel list I've uploaded to OpenRefine for reconciliation with VIAF. I'm using column VIAF Preferred Form for the reconciliation: http://127.0.0.1:3333/project?project=2519255424221&ui=%7B%22facets%22%3A%5B%5D%7D
