Intern:Editorial/Entity Matcher

The Entity Matcher is a UI component to support the curator in matching new data with the data already present in PANGAEA. With the entity matcher, you can resolve ambiguous or missing data.

It is used in submission import and reference lookup.

There are 3 columns:

You can now select one of the "potential matches" by drag'n'dropping it to the PANGAEA column. You can also use the input field in the PANGAEA column to search for another entity, or to create a new entity for this case.
 * External: Text that was found by external service (e.g. crossref). It can also be text that a submitter entered.
 * PANGAEA: This is where you choose which info should go into PANGAEA
 * Potential Matches: These are existing entities in PANGAEA, which could be good matches. Hover the mouse over the entity tags to learn about the reasons, why the system thinks it is a good match.
