Yeah it would be awesome if Wikidata could hack
together a OpenRefine
compatible "reconcilation service" !
Librarians use OpenRefine by the way ! (wink wink) ;) More data, more
data, more data

I'm biased, but I think this is a perfect use
case for OpenRefine. What
you'd need is an OpenRefine compatible "reconcilation service" provided by
Wikidata that OpenRefine could use and then it'd allow you to match an
entire column in spreadsheet, set a threshold for automatic matches, review
candidates for those below the threshold, etc.

Hi everyone,
I’ve been in the situation quite often (edit-a-thons; various to do
lists) where I had a list of terms (most usually names of a few hundreds of
people, or titles of Wikipedia articles), where I wanted to do a quick
search on Wikidata to retrieve each of these concept’s Q number.
Does anyone know of a tool that helps me make this easier? Enter a list
of, say, 100 of these search terms, and receive Q number suggestions for
each of them? I’ve looked around on wmflabs but have not found anything in
that direction (also not with the help of Hay’s awesome tool directory
<http://tools.wmflabs.org/hay/directory/#/>).
Till now, I’ve done all these searches manually - use an excel sheet,
look for each term individually, enter Q number for each term - quite
accurate but very time-consuming!
Would appreciate all help/tips !
Thanks! Sandra (User:Spinster)
