Additional backend resource GND

[rombaum]

It is possible to access the GND via lobid. The API specifications are listed here: https://lobid.org/gnd/api. Sadly everything there is in German. But it should be possible to translate this via a translation tool or via a LLM.

There are already requests from the groups of RADAR and DiscussData.

Maybe @baillyk from the Antelope project (GitHub, GitLab) could support in the integration of the GND to the API Gateway.

We have lobid provider in cocoda-sdk to access GND (see source code): a mapping from Lobid API to JSKOS-API. Possibly related issue: #51

Hi All, below i inserted our java code from antelope to find terms via lobidGnd. If you need help to get some infos from the german spec, i am happy to help out. best regards, Kolja protected static List<String> getLobidGndResults(List<String> requestText) throws Exception { List<String> results = new ArrayList<>(); String baseUrl = "https://lobid.org/gnd/search?q=preferredName:"; for (String actText : requestText) { String result = ""; // Encode the search text String encodedText = URLEncoder.encode(actText, StandardCharsets.UTF_8); // Create the API request URL String requestUrl = baseUrl + encodedText + "%20OR%20variantName:" + encodedText + "%20OR%20preferredNameForTheSubjectHeading:"+ encodedText +"&format=json&size=50"; HttpGet request = new HttpGet(new URI(requestUrl)); request.addHeader("content-type", "application/json"); try (CloseableHttpClient httpClient = HttpClients.createDefault(); CloseableHttpResponse response = httpClient.execute(request)) { result = EntityUtils.toString(response.getEntity()); JSONObject jsonResult = new JSONObject(result); JSONArray entitiesArray = jsonResult.getJSONArray("member"); // Extract the required fields from the response JSONArray extractedEntities = new JSONArray(); for (int i = 0; i < entitiesArray.length(); i++) { JSONObject actEntityObj = entitiesArray.getJSONObject(i); //System.out.println( actEntityObj.toString() ); String actEntityId = actEntityObj.getString("gndIdentifier"); String actEntityUri = actEntityObj.getString("id"); //String actEntityType = actEntityObj.getString("type"); String actEntityName = actEntityObj.getString("preferredName"); JSONObject extractedEntity = new JSONObject(); extractedEntity.put("id", actEntityId); extractedEntity.put("URI", actEntityUri); ((extractedEntity)).put("label", actEntityName); extractedEntity.put("name", actEntityName); extractedEntity.put("obj", actEntityObj); extractedEntities.put(extractedEntity); } results.add(extractedEntities.toString()); } } return results; }
