Shyam's being kind here. It's 2019. I can't believe I'm seeing that
statement. If that's what they really said, it's completely
unprofessional at this point.
OpenRefine is in a category unto itself. It's worth them spending some
time "securing" it, if they're serious. But what they're really saying
is "we want to control what software you use to make our jobs minimally
easier." What they could be saying is "IT is about empowering the staff
with tech, even when it's hard."

That's insane, the product was developed by Google!

Subject: Re: [MCN-L] Assistance needed with ULAN data
Hi Samantha -
I have a question related to your answer for Erin. Do you know of a program
other than OpenRefine that can fetch URIs from the Getty's reconciliation
services? I have been using OpenRefine for AAT vocabulary terms in a data
publishing project. My network team took it away because they believe open
source is generally not secure.
Thanks!

Hi Erin,
I would highly recommend using OpenRefine <http://openrefine.org>'s
reconciliation service to reconcile the museum's data with ULAN entities.
Once reconciled in OpenRefine, you can then enrich the museum's
existing data with any of the data points available in ULAN. I am
going through this process with the Indianapolis Museum of Art data to
better support our linked data initiatives as well as to ensure that
our data is as complete as it can be.
As an added step, I would also suggest that when you are done with the
reconciliation work, you contact the Getty vocabularies team to
inquire about contributing information about artists not currently in
ULAN to their data set. My understanding is that they are very
encouraging of such contributions.
Please consider this e-mail a super basic overview, and feel free to
contact me directly for more specific information about how to use
OpenRefine and their reconciliation services for your project. I'm
more than happy to help!

Hi wise MCN-L members!
I am working with a museum to clean up their data. I don't have a
lot of backend data experience. My task is to populate artist
records with ULAN data. They're using EmbARK. I'd like to upload the
relevant metadata
using
the ULAN ID as a link. I'm having difficulty accessing the ULAN data
from getty's download center.

ml
Note: I know next to nothing about data that is not in CSV format.
I've tried to convert the sample ULAN XML data to CSV but am getting
lots of errors.
I don't even really understand the reasonable-ness of this question,
so please bear with me!
Thanks for any help you're able to offer!
Erin
