Searching for government agency identifier lists in any country returns no suggested lists #227

I am trying to use org-id.guide to find examples of countries with good open registers of government agencies, to feed into an OGP commitment for New Zealand to develop such a register, but searching with the following criteria returns no suggested lists:

I would expect any lists which include government agencies to appear under suggested lists.

The results under 'possible lists' seem to mix lists that don't include government agencies (e.g. NO-BRC) with those that do (e.g. GB-GOR).

I guess the latter may be a data quality issue, but the former seems like an interface / search algorithm issue.

Possibly an example of the same issue:

The AM-SRALE list (Armenian State Registry) has the following structure property:

  "structure": [
        "Company", 
    "Company > Listed company", 
        "Company > Limited Company", 
        "Company > Mutual", 
        "Company > Partnership", 
        "Company >  Sole trader", 
        "Government Agency", 
        "Government Agency > Local Government", 
        "Government Agency > Public service", 
        "Trust"
  ],

Try this:

  1. Search for identifiers for Companies in Armenia
  2. No suggested lists
  3. Alternatively, search for identifiers for any type of organisation in Armenia
  4. It returns the AM-SRALE list (Armenian State Registry)
