LOC geographic [names] (QA) is showing non-geographic entities #248

Closed sfolsom closed 3 years ago

sfolsom commented 5 years ago

Right now Corporate Names and other entity types are often drowning out the Geographic Names in the LOC geographic [names] (QA) lookup.

for searches like https://lookup.ld4l.org/authorities/search/linked_data/locnames_ld4l_cache/geographic?q=Cayuga&maxRecords=4&context=true (the geographic subauth for LCNAF) the expectation is that only geographic entities would return, but we see a lot of Corporate Names.

Here's another example: https://lookup.ld4l.org/authorities/search/linked_data/locnames_ld4l_cache/geographic?q=New%20York%20City&maxRecords=4&context=true (in this case we Corporate Names and Name Titles.)

I wanted to ask if there could be improvements to how LC geographic names appear in lookup. Screen Shot 2020-12-04 at 11 03 12 AM I've attached a screenshot of a search for Chicago, which brought up an organization name and personal names. (This was in the Monograph Instance (BF2) Un-Nested template.) it is a publication place field, so those results are unexpected.

I think you have to scroll through a lot of hits to get to Chicago (Ill.). Could the publication place field lookup be limited to just geographic names? Has this been suggested already?

I think we can close this issue. @eichmann you fixed this right? I don't see Corporate Name with the Geographics.

This should be resolved....
