Tools to automatically clean and enrich vocabulary entries at museum-digital

This repository contains a set of tools, that can be hooked into an existing application working with museum-digital's structures and libraries, to simplify the handling of vocabulary entries.

General applicability

While most scripts in this repository require a DB connection to a museum-digital vocabulary database, and are thus likely useful outside of museum-digital's own ecosystem. An exception are src/NodaTimeSplitter.php and src/NodaUncertaintyHelper.php.

NodaTimeSplitter

src/NodaTimeSplitter.php contains a list of rules to reformulate and parse entered time names into an array.

NodaUncertaintyHelper

src/NodaUncertaintyHelper.php contains lists of indicators for invalid or uncertain inputs and functions to use those lists to clean inputs . If, e.g., "Berlin?" has been entered as a place, this actually means that the entered place is "Berlin" and the entry is uncertain.
