Hi Andy,
We matched around 7,000 of the 10,000 film works to WD entities and I think 20,000 of the 260K persons. If I remember right, we've now exhausted WD as gender source for our persons, but thanks for excellent suggestion! On that point, we have a BFI identifier created as a property in WD, and aim at some point to put our IDs / URLs into WD, and additionally to create WD entities for the outstanding film works.
Andy and James - to use a film analogy: my story of failing to make it to an LOD outcome is an unevenly paced docudrama weaving in such subjects as data supply contracts, institutional paradigms, departmental resources, and overlapping digital preservation and documentation project timelines. Imagine Bella Tarr shooting a zero budget Parallax View from a script by Samuel Beckett, with an unconvincing central performance. One for a workshop / presentation / pub discussion for sure.
Cheers,
Stephen
