Motivation
[edit]TMDb is a crowd-sourced website, whose data and API are reused by applications. This would be useful because it would open up TMDb company to Wikidata item referencing, and allow expansion of other external identifiers and metadata when researching.
Methodology
[edit]- Obtain dumps of TMDB and Wikidata production companies with their respective IDs
- For each company on TMDB and Wikidata, download a complete set of media IDs for that company
- Match the company names using a fuzzy string compare method
- Further refine matches by comparing the overlap of media IDs between TMDB and Wikidata companies
- Fuzzy label how good a match is
