Thanks, @aoern! I think these are all issues in the data, so I transferred your issue to the data repo. For the GlobIS data, I'm assuming you're referring to the & HTML entity.

The backend replaces all html entities and similar problem. But we decided to use the verbatim authorship for exports to the legacy portal...
