We have now seen that en:Wikipedia dont think the quality of Europeana is good enough and dont want to link Europeana see T243764 and status report

The problem I understand we have in Sweden is that museums etc. dont upload items with URI to the agent it match.... they have the match in the system but dont kniow the Europeana agent ID or the Europeana agent id doesnt exist for the person

To get an understanding how this should be done I need 27 new agents for Swedish female sculptors link list https://w.wiki/Fxj 

Those female artists are from a research project at the Swedish Nationalmuseum link

Question A: is there an API for creating new Entities?
Question B: if not can someone create those so we get a Showcase how a good upload to Europeana is done?
