We've definitely been having some trouble with what you can find on author search and what you can find on author pages not lining up right. I've seen a lot of quirky examples, for instance
- authors who have works that you can find and which don't show up on their author pages - authors who have deleted works showing up on their author pages - newly added authors not being findable via search Not sure if this has something to do with the indexing and/or how often the author pages are reindexed or whatever, but it's been an ongoing thing. ________ Jessamyn librarian.net ::: jessamyn.com ::: jessamyn.info ::: box 345, randolph vt 05060 On Sun, Sep 1, 2013 at 2:27 PM, Tom Morris <[email protected]> wrote: > While looking at the duplicate authors issue, I've noticed that there are a > number of author records which aren't indexed (ie you can find them in the > dump, but not using the online search). > > Additionally, the LC Bot appears to be creating identical duplicate author & > works records. > > For example, these two works are identical > > http://openlibrary.org/works/OL16669673W/Gerdas_Tageb%C3%BCcher > http://openlibrary.org/works/OL16669674W/Gerdas_Tageb%C3%BCcher > > as are these authors: > > > http://openlibrary.org/authors/OL7138299A/Gerda_Margarethe_Oestreicher-Laqueur > > http://openlibrary.org/authors/OL7138300A/Gerda_Margarethe_Oestreicher-Laqueur > > and neither author record shows up in this search: > > http://openlibrary.org/search/authors?q=Gerda+Margarethe > > I don't know how extensive the problem is, but it needs cleaning up. > > Tom > > > _______________________________________________ > Ol-tech mailing list > [email protected] > http://mail.archive.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/ol-tech > To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send email to > [email protected] > _______________________________________________ Ol-tech mailing list [email protected] http://mail.archive.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/ol-tech To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send email to [email protected]
