Thanks for the response.
This seems to be odder the more I look at it. Firstly here are the
queries that are used:
(:
The "indian subcontinent" query
:)
declare namespace dc = "http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/";
declare namespace opp = "http://opp.oup.com/opp";
declare namespace grove = "http://www.grovecms.com/local/articles.dtd";
default element namespace = "http://opp.oup.com/opp";
let $query :=
cts:and-query
(
(
cts:element-query(xs:QName("opp:body"),"indian"),
cts:element-query(xs:QName("opp:body"),"subcontinent")
)
)
return for $doc at $index in
(
(
cts:search
(
/doc[not(opp:meta/opp:headword-matches/opp:self/@status =
'secondary') ],
$query
)
))
return <result at="{$index}">{base-uri($doc)}</result>
This returns 379 results with the target document at #1. However the
following query (just the query part) returns 27 results without the
target document:
(:
The "indian subcontinent bronze" query
:)
let $query :=
cts:and-query
(
(
cts:element-query(xs:QName("opp:body"),"indian"),
cts:element-query(xs:QName("opp:body"),"subcontinent"),
cts:element-query(xs:QName("opp:body"),"bronze")
)
)
At this point I started to look into "bronze" itself. In the target
document the term occurs nearly 100 times, quite a few times in grove:P
elements so I search for this:
(:
Bronze in grove:P
:)
let $query := cts:element-query(xs:QName("grove:P"),"bronze")
I get 2,484 unique documents returned with the target at #304. The
grove:P element is itself the descendant of the opp:body element so I
search for "bronze" in opp:body.
(:
Bronze in grove:P
:)
let $query := cts:element-query(xs:QName("opp:body"),"bronze")
Were I get 2,154 unique documents which does not include the target. The
thing to note here is that all documents have a opp:body (all those
grove:P matches were descendants of opp:body elements) and yet we get
fewer matches! This alone makes no sense, and this includes the fact
that the 2,154 documents returned by the opp:body query includes some
documents that were not in the grove:P results list. The total number of
unique documents is 2,836.
I have checked the target document and the grove:P element with "bronze"
in it is definitely a descendant of opp:body and appears to be no
different to the documents that MarkLogic did return.
Unfortunately it would seem that once again I come up against a problem
on a Friday before I go off for a weeks holiday :) Have a happy July the
4th, I suspect that this will still be here when I get back.
