persNames to orgNames

[Mestyan]

What is the best way to change the mistakenly labelled persNames to orgNames? In the master or the authority file? If in the authority file, simply just deleting and adding a new orgName in the orgList? @tillgrallert

Let me think about this (the following is just me thinking out loud. It will be updated).

The questions is how to tell the computer the following (running on the master file):

• look up a corresponding person in the authority file based on the persName
  • done
  • the ID from @ref="jaraid:pers:ID" is found as an <idno type="jaraid">ID</idno> child of a <person> element
  • the algorithm will not find an <org> with <idno type="jaraid">ID</idno>
• check if this person is indeed an organisation
• replace the persName with orgName
• update the @ref attribute

you mean the manual correction should happen in jaraid_master and it should "clean" the automatically the authority file? wow!

[tillgrallert]

I probably didn't mean that but its much easier this way around than the other. So if we could clean the masterfile manually, we can than update the authority file.

Ok so cleaning the master file manually is the next step, I will do it
