Hi all,

I'm trying to reconcile bibliographic records against freebase and I'm
running into the following problem: I've got records for the first
edition of books -- but the books came in 1-3 volumes and I'm trying
to reconcile against (and ultimately interested in) the Work records
not the Edition records.

What'd I'd like to do is take records of first editions looking like
this:

year;title;author;identifier;volume num
1810;Forest of Montalbano;Cuthbertson,Catherine;1
1810;Forest of Montalbano;Cuthbertson,Catherine;2
1810;Forest of Montalbano;Cuthbertson,Catherine;3

and refactor into a single record

year;title;author;identifier;number of volumes
1810;Forest of Montalbano;Cuthbertson,Catherine;3

The number of volumes varies between 1 and 3.

Is there any way to do this in refine itself? The question looks like
Issue #90. https://code.google.com/p/google-refine/issues/detail?id=90

If it's unsupported, are there other tools folks would recommend?

Thanks,

Allen
