Hi Magnus, Osma,

I suppose the scenario Osma pointed out is quite common for knowledge organization systems and in particular thesauri: Matching could take advantage of multilingual labels and also of synonyms, which are defined in the KOS.

For the populating STW Thesaurus for Economics ID (P3911), my preliminary plan was to match with all multilingual labels and synonyms as search string in a custom WD endpoint (Fuseki, with full text search support), and display in the ranked SPARQL results of the search with a column with a valid insert statement that can be copied and pasted into QuickStatements2.

Since Stas just announced an extension for WDQS with fulltext search (if I haven’t misunderstood his mail of 2017-06-12), it is perhaps now possible to do this kind of matching in WDQS.

It would be great if such an extended matching could be integrated into M’n’m.

To clarify, Mix'n'match already searches language-neutral, e.g. for automatch.

Storing multiple labels per entry in the Mix'n'match database, and then checking all-against-all, would require some large-scale rewiring.
