Esther Melander <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #1 from Esther Melander <[email protected]> --- We are using Elastic Search and have noticed a similar problem for authorities with trailing periods. The trailing periods of an authority should be ignored in the sort, but are instead showing at the end of the result list. This problem appears in the advanced editor with the authority look-up (ctrl-shift-L) search. If you were to search for "Cooking." with the search parameter "contains" the result is not returned at the top of the list as expected, but rather towards the bottom. Further complicating, if you use the search parameter "starts with" or "exact" no results are returned. Do the same search without the trailing period "Cooking" and you will get the expected results. Also, Library of Congress is moving toward minimally punctuated authorities in which there is no closing punctuation on some authorities. As a result there are now existing authorities following different punctuation rules. Regardless of the source, trailing periods are throwing off the sort and I also suspect auto linking. Here are some additional papers on punctuation in authorities. https://www.oclc.org/bibformats/en/6xx.html shows examples of the 600 subject tags without punctuation at the end. These are links to a power point and paper on minimally punctuated records put out by Library of Congress. https://www.loc.gov/aba/pcc/sct/documents/GuidelinesMinimallyPunctuatedMARC-SCT-2020-01.pptx https://www.loc.gov/aba/pcc/documents/PCC-Guidelines-Minimally-Punctuated-MARC-Data.docx In any event, Elastic Search appears to need some refinement in how punctuation is handled to bring it into compliance with current practice. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
