Description

Details to follow, but the gist is that NASM would like new corporate bodies + subjects in ArchivesSpace for everything in the Airplanes Directory.

Easy to ingest, but a question: would this be a good time to also consider adding a source-based filter on linking agents/subjects? Not sure the total count, but this will add a LOT of records to ASpace. But, that's why we have ASpace DEV to do some early tests :)

Research direction

Start by reviewing the Airplanes Directory request and the existing Python ingestion scripts, then use ASpace DEV for early tests. Determine the expected corporate-body and subject records, estimate the record volume, and evaluate whether a source-based linking filter is needed; the issue does not yet define an implementation-ready completion target.
