revisit places again #165

Closed dougkdev closed 4 years ago

dougkdev commented 8 years ago

NB: in this description, place means ANY geographic entity / substitute: Scotland, County Durham, SOM, Parts of Holland, Whitby, Clifton, Abertawe, Glaschu, Lower Slaughter and Blubberhouses are all places.

We have been through multiple versions of how to handle places, each time receiving the feedback that it isn't what is wanted. How places are desired to be handled needs to be very clearly defined as it is an integral part of the data model, search functionality, and database indexes.

This issue is part of the Place Epic. Components: understand/document what data we hold about place (in progress - documented in this issue - awaiting response from Brenda) understand/document what we do with the data we transcribe about place, e.g. create indexes, convert to a different form, add a standardized form - (in progress, partly documented in this issue, partly in issues #492, #378, #533 and #534 for validation, in issues #492 and #402 for proofreading, #534, #590, #489, and #488 for transcription) understand the issues with place (e.g. as non-stable geographic entities) (documented in this issue) understand how users wish to search using place data (#52 is the epic, issue #225 for birth place, #155 for census place) understand what/how users wish to see place data presented in search results (#52 is the epic) understand what/how users wish to see place data presented in detailed search results (#52 is the epic) understand what/how users wish to see place data presented elsewhere in FC2 (#52 is the epic) write stories for the missing links.

I think that we already capture/need to handle the various places, ie. Counties, Census districts, CofE parishes, ship's names (are there any others like CofE parishes and ships names which are standardised?), and multitude of names that are recorded as place of birth What we don't know is (and is story #52) how people will want to search, using some, many or all of these types of place names. So until we do, we can't build the search. What more is needed to be known at this point?

dougkdev commented 7 years ago

I agree with you, Pat, we need to know how people will search in order to define the data model to support the search. I don't think more information is needed right now, but the place data model is a significant piece that needs a clear definition to come out of #52.

Ben did a couple of revisions of places before he turned it over to me. When he used the district or parish names as the places, most of the feedback was that it was wrong because it was different than FC1. I changed it to be the same as FC1, and it is wrong again because it doesn't handle the problems that people didn't like in how FC1 handled places.

There are some issues we now know that users would like handled differently than FC1 due to feedback received by Brenda. For one, several census pieces are listed under one county, even though there is actually some information in those pieces from an entirely different county. For example, in 1891 NTT pieces 2715-2716 have several places that are actually in LIN. That information then appears in searches for the county the piece belongs to and not in searches for counties that the data is actually for. For another, places can't be selected unless they happen to be the places as listed in the PARMS.DAT files (representing the places listed by the National Archives / GRO as a summary of places for each piece). A recent example that Brenda addressed with one user is Lincs Spalding 1841 (HO107/610) listed as place "Part Holland".

I think that the way in which places are searched needs to be more flexible to handle the places we have from the actual transcriptions in addition to those listed in the PARMS.DAT files. Instead of choosing a county and then a place within that county (which may actually be in the wrong county because the piece spans multiple counties, or confusing because place names differ from year to year or vary spelling, etc.), perhaps the interface should be more like people are accustomed to on google maps, etc. The user types the place they want to search for as free-form text (could be a parish, a district, or combination of those, for example) and the site auto-suggests places similar to what they are typing.

Let's discuss during next roadmap meeting on Monday.

Captainkirkdawson commented 5 years ago

Brenda asked: Each record has a ‘Birth Place column’ and of course a ‘Birth Place’ Is it , or would it be possible, to create/obtain a list of all these Birth Places from the FreeCEN Database? Assuming Brenda ment the the individual record in the request : There are actually 5 fields that appear to be associated with birth_place for an individual.

field :birth_county, type: String field :birth_place, type: String field :verbatim_birth_county, type: String field :verbatim_birth_place, type: String field :birth_place_flag, type: String

It would appear that the verbatimbirth field contents are often(always?) the same as the birth field contents. I know not why there are the 2 sets of fields I do not know the purpose of the birth_place_flag

WRT to the specific question.

Currently it would be extremely time consuming to go through the Freecen1VldEntry/individual collection as there are no indexes and it would mean processing all 37 million+ records

If it was an important request I would first create indexes on the fields and then it would be straight forward.

Captainkirkdawson commented 5 years ago

Thinking about the question I did a little more research. The search record against which we search contains the census place identifier as well as the county. It also contains the birth_chapman_code which I assume is extracted from the birth_county. It does not contain any field associated with birth_place. The birth_chapman_code is not indexed.

FreecenBren commented 5 years ago

Index of CHP

The Chapman Code is added at the Transcription CSV stage by the transcriber from the Census images. It therefore goes through all the stages and into the final VLD.

If any CHP is not from the accepted list, (example. Typed incorrectly) and is not picked up by the any of the FreeCEN stages of,

  1. CSV
  2. CSVCHECK,
  3. DAT
  4. CHE
  5. FCTOOLS,
  6. finally to a VLD, then the upload will throw it our as an error. We then have to do an amended VLD. In FC1 there must be a check for it to throw out the error.

Of course FC2 will be able to do that, when we get to that stage.

richpomfret commented 5 years ago

Let's go ahead and do this.

PatReynolds commented 5 years ago

field :birth_county, type: String field :birth_place, type: String field :verbatim_birth_county, type: String field :verbatim_birth_place, type: String field :birth_place_flag, type: String @FreecenBren can you confirm that the verbatim_birth_county/place is twys, and the birth_county/place is what is picked from an authorised/standardized list?

This has 176 distinct entries BUT there are only 155 Valid Chapman Codes for CEN and some are clearly in error. e.g. "-" "\u0000\u0000\u0000" "`" and I suspect there are others. Regardless of the original purpose of this work it need to be run on production and further investigation conducted as there are clear quality issues here. Will start a different story for that aspect.

Captainkirkdawson commented 4 years ago

The birth place results are also interesting. Will not give the arrays as they are too large. I have them if someone wants them. Birth Place 388,033 values Verbatim Birth Place 468,433 values Birth Place NOT in Verbatim Birth Place 5,644 values Verbatim Birth Place NOT in Birth Place 86,044 values If it was of value we could break these latter numbers down by county

PatReynolds commented 4 years ago

Do abbreviations (such as Mkt for Market, Gt. for Great and Lwr for Lower typically occur in the Birth place or the Verbatim Birth Place)?

Captainkirkdawson commented 4 years ago

@PatReynolds not sure of the purpose in your question but the answers are Mkt Birth ;63 Verbatim 85; in birth but NOT verbatim 1; in verbatim but NOT birth 23 Gt. Birth ;191 Verbatim 236; in birth but NOT verbatim 1; in verbatim but NOT birth 46 Gt Birth ;647 Verbatim 821; in birth but NOT verbatim 2; in verbatim but NOT birth 176 Lwr Birth ;43 Verbatim 47; in birth but NOT verbatim 3; in verbatim but NOT birth 4

The key information for me is that there are Birth Place 388,033 values and Verbatim Birth Place 468,433 values This tells that as a free form field there are vast numbers of variations e.g. Was use is a Place called St Ann in Yorkshire A sample follows

sample.log

PatReynolds commented 4 years ago

Thanks, Kirk, that's useful (verbatim is confirmed as the TWYS field). I' can't open a .log file, unfortunately.
I think that the development of a new validation tool (and new list of approved places) would resolve the St Ann. The answer for St Ann to be no: image (but if this is where someone said they were born - perhaps mistaking 'baptism' for 'birth') then that's what we have to use.

FreecenBren commented 4 years ago

Please note. If we want to be correct. Many people live in St Ann’s ( Prince Harry should know as he often visits) Also I went to school there as well.

St Ann’s is in Nottingham and has always been St Ann’s. (With an ‘s’) St Ann's is a large district of the city of Nottingham, in the English ceremonial county of Nottinghamshire. The development of the St Ann's actually began as early as 1750 when Charles Morley was the Sheriff in 1737-8. It is still known by that name today.

Captainkirkdawson commented 4 years ago

Am experimenting with text indexes on the birth_place field. Very interesting.

db.freecen_individuals.find({ $text: { $search: "\"st ann\""},birth_county: "NTT"}).count() 84 db.freecen_individuals.find({ $text: { $search: "\"st. ann\""},birth_county: "NTT"}).count() 6 db.freecen_individuals.find({ $text: { $search: "\"saint ann\""},birth_county: "NTT"}).count() 0

db.freecen_individuals.find({ $text: { $search: "\"st ann's\""},birth_county: "NTT"}).count() 8

An example of those picked up by the first st ann "_id" : ObjectId("5904473ce9379091b1e97ca8"), "birth_county" : "NTT", "birth_place" : "St Ann's", "verbatim_birth_county" : "NTT", "verbatim_birth_place" : "St Ann's" } { "_id" : ObjectId("5904473ae9379091b1e97987"), "birth_county" : "NTT", "birth_place" : "St Ann's", "verbatim_birth_county" : "NTT", "verbatim_birth_place" : "St Ann's" } { "_id" : ObjectId("59044644e9379091b1e84a40"), "birth_county" : "NTT", "birth_place" : "St Anns", "verbatim_birth_county" : "NTT", "verbatim_birth_place" : "St Anns" } { "_id" : ObjectId("59044644e9379091b1e84a3f"), "birth_county" : "NTT", "birth_place" : "St Anns", "verbatim_birth_county" : "NTT", "verbatim_birth_place" : "St Anns" } { "_id" : ObjectId("5904455ee9379091b1e749f4"), "birth_county" : "NTT", "birth_place" : "St Annes", "verbatim_birth_county" : "NTT", "verbatim_birth_place" : "St Annes" } { "_id" : ObjectId("59044556e9379091b1e741de"), "birth_county" : "NTT", "birth_place" : "St Ann", "verbatim_birth_county" : "NTT", "verbatim_birth_place" : "St Ann"

This shows that the search word acts as a stub ie ann finds ann ann's annes The following is even more interesting

Captainkirkdawson commented 4 years ago

Just tested FC1 and ONLY the first word of the entry typed into the birth place field is matched. We can do better than that with the text index In fact I wonder what it really does; If St Ann is entered for Nottinghamshire one gets primarily Sutton West in Nottinghamshire gives 1 West and 1 Wistow yet a search for weston gives a number of entries for West Markham. Will not pursue FC1 any further it makes zero sense

As part of the investigation into places with no location I wrote and ran an extract rake task to identify those places. There are now 513 up from 353 2 months ago. The list is at https://drive.google.com/drive/u/1/folders/1MQdWRjfwq7PUlWezwdoVzYPWbE5jvN5h

The initial point I was making was there is no such place as St Philip & Jacob 4A or St Philip & Jacob 4B etc Nor is there a Place called St Philip & Jacob. There is a building called St Philip & Jacob. There may be parish called St Philip & Jacob in the census. But the Place is Bristol.

A Place has many Pieces. A Piece is for a specific parish of part thereof and the Piece can have many subplaces

It may not be a Parish now but according to the National Archives and the Census Images it was a Civil Parish and people did live there and It was recorded as such. This is from the National Archives page. From 1841.

https://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/C3761111

As such that is why it is in the Census as it is a Civil Parish.

Hundred: Barton Regis. Parish: (6)(3)St Philip and St Jacob (part). Rest in HO 107/375.. Reference: HO 107/378 Description:

Hundred: Barton Regis.

Parish: (6)(3)St Philip and St Jacob (part). Rest in HO 107/375.

This is one census page showing the Civil Parish in the top left hand corner which is what was transcribed. The Civil Parishes are all about the transcribing as we use them every day doing the transcriptions. They are all on the appropriate PARMS files as well. So wHy are the Civil Parishes not searchable? We have mentioned this before. They are all searchable on FC1 by typing in the Civil Parish name should you chose to. Street Piece Ecclesiastical District Enumeration District Civil Parish Surname Census Place

This issue we only had today with a researcher query we were sent. It was one of Geoff’s issues for Somerset that FC1 Found that FC2 could not. It opens up other things for discussion.

My question would be is, why is the Civil Parish not searchable on FreeCEN Two when we use it everyday when doing the transcribing and it also relates back to the PARMS that is viewable from the STATS pages for both FC1 and FC2.

FC2 Stats / Transcription page GLS 1841 378 Barton Regis St Philip & St Jacob, Online The problem is I have my Transcriber hat on and so probable not seeing the other side. I will leave it all for your discussion as I need to spend time catching up on other things for FreeCEN.

We continue to talk at cross purposes unfortunately.

I accept fully that Gloucestershire has a Census Place called Barton Regis and that there are 2 Civil Parishes in that Place. Stapleton and St Philip & St Jacob. I am questioning and others like them Reference: RG 10/2559 Description:
Registration Sub-District 4D St Philip and St Jacob. Civil Parish, Township or Place: St Philip and St Jacob(pt) (Divided between RG 10/2567-2568 and 2570) where the Place is recorded as St Philip and St Jacob 4D etc. These are not Census Places. Clearly the Civil Parish is St Philip and St Jacob I cannot comment of the questions you raise with respect to the search.

Hi Brenda, story #752 covers the civil parish search. It needs allocating to either the group oif issues we hope to deal with sooner rather than later, or the group that will be done after we have dealt with the facilities for coordinators, proofreaders and transcribers - it should have been picked up and allocated, but wasn't so I've flagged it for discussion at the next scrum.

Brenda's (potential) issues: "This issue we only had today with a researcher query we were sent. It was one of Geoff’s issues for Somerset that FC1 Found that FC2 could not." @geoffj-FUG could you clarify on this - it may well be covered by the issues/stories relating to researcher facilities on FC1 but not FC2 to be implemented sooner rather than later, and those to be implemented later as they are less important (epic #743), or related to the complexity of place (epic #744)

"My question would be is, why is the Civil Parish not searchable on FreeCEN" Now story/issue #752

Closing, as 'place' per se is not a FreeCEN concept. The totality of stories involving geographic locations is the epic.
