Investigate the integration of person records from Unesco because wrong persons records are merged #262

Closed SvenLieber closed 3 months ago

Apparently some persons from Unesco Index Translationum are integrated but have nothing in common. For example

Marrevee, Ilse
- BELTRANS ID: 4431
- Unesco ID: u1803
Tremblay, Michel
- BELTRANS ID: affef438-2ca2-4f1c-b5e6-535343772db9
- Unesco ID: u1803

The unesco ID is not part of the Unesco data source, but was created by us by initially grouping similar names. However, over time we also started to use a BELTRANS corpus-wide correlation list of persons, also a possible source of errors

That overlap comes directly from the manually curated correlation list. We should further investigate the evolution of those correlation lists to exclude that by accident a copy-paste Excel operation falsified the data.
