Hi Magnus,

Mix'n'match looks great and I do have a few questions about it. I'd like
to use it to import a dataset, which looks like this (these are the 100
first lines):
http://pintoch.ulminfo.fr/34f8c4cf8a/aligned_institutions.txt

I see how to import it in Mix'n'match, but given all the columns I have
in this dataset, I think that it is a bit sad to resort to matching on
the name only.

Do you see any way to do some fuzzy-matching on, say, the URLs provided
in the dataset against the "official website" property? I think that it
would be possible with the (proposed) Wikidata interface for OpenRefine
(if I understand the UI correctly).

In this context, I think it might even be possible to confirm matches
automatically (when the matches are excellent on multiple columns). As
the dataset is rather large (400,000 lines) I would not really want to
validate them one after the other with the web interface. So I would
need a sort of batch edit. How would you do that?

Finally, once matches are found, it would be great if statements
corresponding to the various columns could be created in the items (if
these statements don't already exist). With the appropriate reference to
the dataset, ideally.

I realise this is a lot to ask - maybe I should just write a bot.

Alina, sorry to hijack your thread. I hope my questions were general
enough to be interesting for other readers.

Cheers,
Antonin
