NAME

Catmandu::RKD - Retrieve items from the RKD

SYNOPSIS

This module contains two submodules; a fix to lookup a name in RKD, and a store to lookup an artist id (kunstenaarsnummer) in the RKD database.

DESCRIPTION

Catmandu::Fix::rkd_search

The fix takes a name (first name, last name or a combination) and performs a lookup to the RKD artists database. It returns an array of results. Every result is of the form:

{
    'title'       => 'Name of the person',
    'description' => 'Short description, as provided by RKD',
    'artist_link' => 'Link to the artist using the artist id',
    'guid'        => 'Permalink to the record'
}

For some names, it can/will return multiple possibilities. You must determine yourself which one is the 'correct' one.

Catmandu::Store::RKD

The store takes an artist id (kunstenaarsnummer) and performs a lookup to the RKD artists database. It returns an array containing either one or no results. Every result is of the form:

{
    'title'       => 'Name of the person',
    'description' => 'Short description, as provided by RKD',
    'artist_link' => 'Link to the artist using the artist id',
    'guid'        => 'Permalink to the record'
}
