Research direction
Start by reproducing the workflow in OpenRefine: reconcile a column, choose “Edit column” and “Add columns from reconciled values,” then load a property from the linked Commons dataset. Compare the resulting columns with the operation history; done means the newly added property is visible in the project as expected.
