Hi Marco,

I run this tool. Quick answers:

1. Yes. If you have a Labs account, you can see everything in database s51434__mixnmatch_p . You can also get most of the data via the API (undocumented; ask me for specifics, check out the requests of the interface in the browser, or try the source code at https://bitbucket.org/magnusmanske/mixnmatch/src/63c9ba58dd236e0aeb5a7ad12315047d787530f0/public_html/api.php?at=master&fileviewer=file-view-default )

2. Anyone can match entries to Wikidata items. I added most of the catalogs, but you can also do that yourself at https://tools.wmflabs.org/mix-n-match/import.php .

Cheers,

Magnus

Hi everyone,

The mix'n'match tool [1] provides a list of catalogues from different
sources with lots of biographical data.

The list seems like a great starting point for the selection of reliable
sources that would feed the StrepHit pipeline [2].

I was wondering 2 things:
1. Is it possible to directly access those datasets?
2. Who are the contributors that maintain the list?

If you are involved into this effort, please get in touch with me.
Cheers,

Marco
