-==== Parthasarathi Mukhopadhyay, University of Kalyani - Automatic Geographic Name Authority from Scratch for Developing Geodetic Search InterfaceWhere VuFind Meets Data Carpentry ====+[[https://vufind.org/docs/summit2021/trojan.odp|Slides]]
  
-Geographic name authority datasets when added with latitude/longitude or boundingbox data may lead to map based retrieval systems in VuFind through geodetic search mechanismsbut unfortunately, global geographic name authority datasets (LCNAF, FAST, VIAF and Wikidata) are not providing geospatial data for place names in general, and also coverage for countries in Asia is not adequate. The geodetic search feature in VuFind depends on the availability of geocoordinate values in records (tag 034 for MARC records and DC.Coverage.spatial in DCMES) but at the same time hand crafting of geocoordinate data values for thousands of places is an impossible task. This deliberation is a quest for an alternative path to develop MARC based country-specific (here India) authority datasets for geographic names (with geospatial data) from scratch by utilizing an array of linked open geospatial datasets, by applying data wrangling techniques and by deploying open source data carpentry tools. The immediate utilities of such geographic name authority datasets are – a) use of MARC formatted geoname authority datasets in local ILSs; and b) in enhancing retrieval features of VuFind through developing geodetic search interface by using such authority datasets with geocoordinate data. The mechanisms as proposed here may later be extended to generate corporate name authority, personal name authority etc in large-scale for libraries in countries under the developing block of the world.+==== Parthasarathi MukhopadhyayUniversity of Kalyani Automatic Geographic Name Authority from Scratch for Developing Geodetic Search Interface: Where VuFind® Meets Data Carpentry ====

 To date, the command-line has been used for harvesting records from Koha, DSpace, Moodle, and WordPress. Library professionals who have limited computer know-how find it difficult to use the command-line configuration system for harvesting records into VuFind. So, in this paper, scripting is being used to automate harvesting records from Koha, DSpace Moodle, and WordPress. A usability test is being done among the participants of a basic digital library training course jointly organized by the Central Dept. of Library and Information Science, TU, HealthNet Nepal, and VuFind. To date, the command-line has been used for harvesting records from Koha, DSpace, Moodle, and WordPress.

Line 117: Line 124:
 By using a more pragmatic approach we were able to achieve good deduplication results utilizing the Apache Solr grouping feature applied to match keys based on record title, author, year and format. Records with the same match key are not fully merged but are grouped together in the result list showing only the first matching record, hiding duplicates by default. This approach leads to a significant reduction of the result list while offering the user the same result set size without noticeable drawbacks to search performance. By using a more pragmatic approach we were able to achieve good deduplication results utilizing the Apache Solr grouping feature applied to match keys based on record title, author, year and format.
