Tom Johnson and I have been working on a project which has led me to understand that the subject heading "protected daisy" is absolutely useless. , e.g. :
http://openlibrary.org/works/OL15292640W/Metamorphoses Here's how it happened: "Protected Daisy" was added to the subject field of appropriate edition records. Then, when Works were created, subjects were moved to the work level. There was no way to separate out terms or phrases that were specific to the edition -- e.g. that weren't really *subjects*. So somewhere in that mass of Metamorphosis records there is a protected daisy book: http://openlibrary.org/books/OL15601615M/The_metamorphoses_of_Ovid Because the phrase was added as a subject heading, it now pulls up all editions of that work and there is not a way to find only the protected daisy editions (AFAIK). (Can I give a big I TOLD YOU SO here? Mixing item or edition specific non-subject info into the subject field was something I argued against.) I haven't yet figured out what the algorithm is for deciding to put the little "lock" by the Daisy link, much less what directs you to the login page for the protected Daisy's, so if anyone wants to hunt that down, Tom and I will be needing it at some point. Also, it would be interesting to know how many protected DAISY books there really are, and how often they are accessed. kc On 3/17/13 12:26 PM, Tom Morris wrote: > Anyone know what's going on with this edition: > http://openlibrary.org/books/ia:historyofjewelle00evan/A_history_of_jewellery_1100-1870 > > The Internet Archive record has the author listed if you click through, > but this didn't get imported, and it's not linked to either of the works > records which match. > > Strangely one of the works has the Protected DAISY "subject" tag, even > though it's not linked to any epub editions. > > What's the best thing to do with anomalies?
