command to compare results. In this case, 1,622 bib records returned 4,000 headings as URIs. When she ran a test, there were 300 headings of 4,000 that were incorrect. From there, there were options to correct the errors in bulk or manually. She noted that the errors existed because MarcEdit (https://marcedit.reeset.net/), another tool she used, queries strings. Querying by strings, as opposed to URIs, is difficult to match automatically and get a correct return. She noted that SPARQL queries on strings that lead to multiple results default to the first result and, thus, are often incorrect. She emphasized that exact matching is an impetus for using URIs.
