NAME

Catmandu::Fix::viaf_match - Perform a search for a name in VIAF

SYNOPSIS

  viaf_search(authorName, -lang:'nl-NL', -fallback_lang:'en-US')

DESCRIPTION

Perform a search for a name. Both mainHeadingEl and the local.personalNames are queried. The fix will return the prefLabel in the provided "lang", or "fallback_lang" if one in "lang" does not exist. If "fallback_lang" also doesn't exist, the prefLabel will be empty.

The fix returns a list, with elements in the following form:

  {
    'dcterms:identifier' => 'The identifier',
    'guid'               => 'The VIAF URL',
    'schema:birthDate'   => 'Birth date, if provided',
    'schema:deathDate'   => 'Death date, if provided',
    'schema:description' => 'Description, if provided',
    'skos:prefLabel'     => 'prefLabel, in lang or fallback_lang'
  }
