This short talk will outline the main steps needed to set up and start using a custom reconciliation service between OpenRefine and any arbitrary Wikibase instance. This method has been in use by individual institutions like Rhizome since September 2020, but since the release of OpenRefine beta 3.5 version is becoming more accessible to new users. We will also show a new box service for automated deployment developed at the Open Science Lab at TIB Hannover, in collaboration with the OpenRefine team.
