9 Duplication of Content ● Why ? ○ Same information submitted to different repositories ○ Harvested from multiple sources ● How can we deal with duplication ? ○ Unique identifiers ■DOI ■Handle.net ■ORCID ■ISNI ■... ● What happens if no unique identifier is present ?

10 A De-Duplication Service for the Humanities ● Motivation o Huge amount of humanities related content in Europe o Many aggregation projects about cultural heritage ● Simple examples o Same dataset is aggregated from different sources o Same dataset is submitted multiple times o Same author deposits data to different repositories o Same author registers twice o Two co-authors submit the same dataset twice from two different locations

11 Why De-Duplication ● Cleaner, more accurate data ● Save time in submission validation ● Save space and resources when aggregating content from multiple sources ● Improved interoperability

12 Service Design

13 Matching Algorithm ● Proposed Elements to use o Keywords o Issued Date o Subject Terms o Spatial Information o Temporal Information ● Matching algorithms o Accuracy  Exact  Approximate o Element  Titles  Authors/Creators  Spatial  Temporal
