Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Generate a CSV report of all Agents who have duplicate record IDs based on their sources - aka 2 SNAC IDs, 2 NAF IDs. The IDs do not have to match, but there needs to be multiple record IDs from the same source.

Describe the solution you'd like
Generate a CSV report of all agents with duplicative source record IDs. CSV columns should contain:

  • Agent URI
  • Duplicate Source
  • Duplicate ID
  • Repeat above for all other duplicative records

Describe alternatives you've considered
We'll need to reconsider how to do this moving forward. Either:

  • Modify the LCNAF importer to change the IDs upon import
  • Update all NAF record IDs and add (DLC) prefix

Additional context
Upon adding record IDs to Agents from #24, we discovered that some Agents have NAF record IDs that are essentially the same, but the only difference is one contains a "(DLC)" prefix on the ID and the other does not. See the below image. This is going to turn into a bigger issue, since it appears NAF records are coming in with the (DLC) prefix. See https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/nr2003020629.marcxml.xml
