Reconciliation test bench helps services improve

The reconciliation test bench developed by our Community Group gives an overview of the API features supported by reconciliation endpoints available online. It also lets developers try out their service interactively, helping them improve reconciliation quality and user experience.

Today, lobid announced that their GND reconciliation endpoint now implements the Suggest API, which helps users select entities, properties and types from OpenRefine’s user interface. They report that the test bench was used to plan and test this improvement. We hope this will encourage other services to implement more aspects of the API.
