Merging organizations? #591

Closed gclux closed 1 year ago

gclux commented 1 year ago

In France, with a new government there may slight changes in the title of a ministry, e.g.

          <org xml:id="PO766505" role="ministry">
            <orgName full="yes" xml:lang="fr">Ministère de la transition écologique et solidaire</orgName>
            <orgName full="abb">TRE</orgName>
            <event from="2019-07-17" to="2020-07-06">
              <label xml:lang="en">existence</label>
            </event>
          </org>

          <org xml:id="PO773376" role="ministry">
            <orgName full="yes" xml:lang="fr">Ministère de la transition écologique</orgName>
            <orgName full="abb">TRE</orgName>
            <event from="2020-07-07" to="2022-05-16">
              <label xml:lang="en">existence</label>
            </event>
          </org>

Sometimes, a portfolio may be split in two (or vice versa two portfolios are merged) with a government change.

Sometimes the name does not change with a government change.

          <org xml:id="PO730004" role="ministry">
            <orgName full="yes" xml:lang="fr">Ministère de l'intérieur</orgName>
            <orgName full="abb">INT</orgName>
            <event from="2017-06-22" to="2018-10-16">
              <label xml:lang="en">existence</label>
            </event>
          </org>
          <org xml:id="PO759777" role="ministry">
            <orgName full="yes" xml:lang="fr">Ministère de l'intérieur</orgName>
            <orgName full="abb">INT</orgName>
            <event from="2018-10-17" to="2020-07-06">
              <label xml:lang="en">existence</label>
            </event>
          </org>

In all these cases, we consider we deal with different organizations.

Is it useful to try merging these organizations? Instead, should not we use consistent decisions in these different cases?

@gclux, thanks for the question. Only FR and HU (@lnnoemi) are implementing ministry organizations (as far as I know). I was not thinking about it in depth when I gave you feedback #574 . As for now, I think that you can leave it as it is
