NAME

       Catmandu::Fix::viaf_match - Perform a direct match between a name and a mainHeadingEl from
       VIAF

SYNOPSIS

         viaf_match(authorName, -lang:'nl-NL', -fallback_lang:'en-US')

DESCRIPTION

       Perform a direct match between a name and a mainHeadingEl and the local.personalNames of a
       Person in VIAF. The fix will return the prefLabel in the provided "lang", or
       "fallback_lang" if one in "lang" does not exist. If "fallback_lang" also doesn't exist,
       the prefLabel will be empty.

       Returns the following data:

         {
           'dcterms:identifier' => 'The identifier',
           'guid'               => 'The VIAF URL',
           'schema:birthDate'   => 'Birth date, if provided',
           'schema:deathDate'   => 'Death date, if provided',
           'schema:description' => 'Description, if provided',
           'skos:prefLabel'     => 'prefLabel, in lang or fallback_lang'
         }
