Catman...f_match(3pm)

💖 Catmandu::Fix::viaf_match 💖

okay bestie, so this is Catmandu::Fix::viaf_match — part of the Catmandu::Fix fam, living its best life in the Perl docs (3pm, user contributed, very demure, very coder). Sit down, grab a strawberry 🍓, and let's get into it.

---

✨ NAME ✨

Catmandu::Fix::viaf_match — bestie, it does a direct match between a name and a mainHeadingEl from VIAF. that's the whole vibe. 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

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

look at her go ✨

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So what it actually does: it performs a direct match between a name and a mainHeadingEl and the local.personalNames of a Person in VIAF. ikr. 🫶

The fix will return the prefLabel in the provided lang, or fallback_lang if one in lang doesn't exist. and if fallback_lang also doesn't exist? then the prefLabel will be empty. no cap, that's just how it is. 😭

It returns the following data:

{
  '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'
}

literally iconic output tbh 👑

🎀 PARAMETERS 🎀

💜 Required parameters

• path — the path to the name. you gotta have this one, it's not optional bestie 🙈

🌈 Optional parameters

• lang — the language of the returned skos:prefLabel. It falls back to fallback_lang if none was found. Use IETF language tags — yes the wikipedia ones, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IETF_language_tag 💅
