I'm not sure about other dialects of English, but in New Zealand
English, a negation there has no impact on the semantics or subtleties
of that sentence.

Looks like the OL code uses birth date + name, which is just what I was
thinking of doing. Although you say it's to run against a wikipedia dump
it looks like it should actually work with small changes against the
wikipedia API too. But I need this in PHP so I'll have to pick through
Hi Karen
Thanks for the code. As far as I can see though it doesn't actually
solve my disambiguation problem - since identity_info.php just takes a
name as input, it can't guess which of the people with this name is
meant other than by using the most commonly referenced one, which in the

- Identities in WorldCat are based on literary warrant, i.e., names for
people who authored/edited something or were subject in someone else's
literary work. Personal names in WikiPedia are not entered according to
literary warrant. Nor is their form vetted according to NAF.
Graham,
I'd advocate using WorldCat Identities to get to the appropriate url
for dbpedia. Each Identity record has a wikipedia element in it that
you could use to link to either Wikipedia or dbpedia.

This sounds like a great way to translate from library forms to

be more efficient to eliminate the middle man. Karen, can you say a
little about what it took to link library names to WP? Was it a
one-step, two-step, etc.?
Curious what script you've used that isn't production ready -- I don't
think you meant to post in the URL for the JQuery library?
