Open source software and algorithms for harmonizing raw bibliographic data downloaded from the Finnish National Library OAI-PMH API in XML format are essential for building open and replicable infrastructures for harmonizing the Finnish National Bibliography (FNB) metadata and other similar datasets. Tailored for our specific use case of the Fennica FNB dataset, we have written harmonization codes utilizing the R programming language and some of its openly available libraries. The harmonization code is accompanied by documentation for individual functions and as well as running the scripts that perform the data harmonization procedures for each field.
