pages/3346542 - Explain Bad Merges (Obis and BioLib) #260

Open JRice opened 8 years ago

JRice commented 8 years ago

I've written a bunch of code to help with this stuff. You can now do something like this:

concept = Concept.find 3346542
concept.explain_entries

and get this:

...which is just for convenience. You can then call obis_entries = concept.entries_from(1307) and run something like 

explanation = [] ; obis_entries.each { |entry| explanation << concept.explain_relationships(entry) } ; puts explanation.join("\n") ; 1

to get a long report of how the merges might go. ...Snippet:

It looks like the entry from `OBIS Environmental Information` named `Ctenoides nimbifer Iredale, 1924` (canonical: Ctenoides nimbifer) would NOT match the entry from `OBIS Environmental Information` named `Ctenoides suavis Masahito, 1971` (canonical: Ctenoides suavis) with a confidence of 0.

...which you can then filter as needed, e.g.:

puts explanation.select { |e| e =~ /would match/ }.join "\n" ; 1

In this case, it's blank, which suggests that none of these entries would have matched this page. ...Which is ... interesting...

So the result that surprises me is that Ctenoides Mikkelsen & Bieler (Ctenoides) => 55192166 from OBIS doesn't match here.

obis_entry = concept.entry(55192166)
exp = concept.explain_relationships(obis_entry) ; 1
puts exp.join("\n") ; 1

yields:

Ahhh... that explains it: the kingdoms don't match. The kingdom on Obis is nil...that's why (in fact, the entry has NO ancestors). The new code doesn't like these "floating" entries and won't match them. ...I'm not sure that's desirable... we should talk about it.

jhammock commented 8 years ago

Sorry I missed you! I have read this. It is friggin awesome :) The question of merging sad orphan names without ancestors but with perfect string matches is a good one. @KatjaSchulz should weigh in. Factors to consider:

Can we orphan in the dubious cases that are merged already but don't qualify any more? How many are there? How easy would it be for us (and/or partners ) to fill in ancestry? <- real solution
