Hi Tristan, I'm afraid I can't help directly, but maybe this can provide some context.
The records in Open Library that were derived from files uploaded to the Internet Archive are treated differently than records created via Open Library itself. I'm still unsure whether this will change, but the problem of matching the author names filled out on submission to existing author records is not trivial (at all). The same goes for the works/editions. I guess that is why it wasn't tackled from the beginning. As for a solution: I don't have one. :( Ben On 24 February 2014 20:55, Tristan Chambers <[email protected]> wrote: > Greetings, > > > We have a collection in Internet Archive that we are happy to see has been > automatically imported into Open Library.
