Figure 1
The flowchart is arranged horizontally from left to right with multiple rectangular and dashed rectangular elements and labeled arrows. At the left, a rectangular box labeled “Institution artist U R I” connects by a dotted rightward arrow labeled “owl: sameAs” to the next rectangular box labeled “U R I(s) from external authorities”. Below this “U R I(s) from external authorities” box, a dashed arrow labeled “d c t: replacedBy owl: sameAs” points return toward the same box. From “U R I(s) from external authorities”, a solid rightward arrow connects to a shaded rectangular area that contains two rectangular boxes. Inside this, the left box is labeled “Updated external U R I(s)” and the right box is labeled “U R I(s) from other authorities”, between these two boxes both leftward and rightward dashed arrows provided with the label “owl: sameAs”. At the bottom right inside this shaded rectangle, the text “Linkset” is shown. This shaded rectangle connects further right to another shaded rectangular box labeled “Linkset”, positioned as the final output. A dashed arrow labeled “owl: sameAs” connects from the leftmost box “Institution artist U R I” directly to the final “Linkset” box, and from this dashed arrow, a dashed downward arrow points to the central box “Updated external U R I(s)”. Additional solid arrows from the below horizontal dashed arrows also point upward toward the dashed “owl: sameAs” path. Above the first two rectangles, the heading “Collect sameAs links” is displayed. Above the middle section, the heading “Resolve deprecated U R I s” appears. Above the shaded rectangle containing the two central boxes, the heading “Link expansion and bi-directional lookup” is shown. Above the rightmost section, the heading “Consistency-check and filtering” is displayed. Below the flow, a legend shows a dashed line labeled “follow link” and a solid line labeled “replaced by”.Cross-authority reconciliation process
