Add Direct Lookups for LC Genres #367

Open sfolsom opened 11 months ago

sfolsom commented 11 months ago

Create direct lookups for the following LC Genre.

The Samvera QA Code seems to offer search for LC Genres: https://github.com/samvera/questioning_authority/wiki/Connecting-to-Library-of-Congress-%28LOC%29.

Related links: See https://id.loc.gov/techcenter/searching.html for API documentation.

Example of a direct search config to base new config off: https://github.com/cul-it/qa_server/blob/f3083a8f1392e72890f8d6e6a763c9e0ace1ea0c/config/authorities/linked_data/oclcfast_direct.json#L32

Data to bring in and translate, if available in the API: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1rPvEoP9iYNkxJ0eWC8gXe3ci7e6mhW0da59xkGhadi0/edit#gid=696491968

@sfolsom This is ready for you to test on lookup-int! Direct lookup results use the id.loc.gov api (same results as what you'd find here: https://id.loc.gov/search/?q=cs:http://id.loc.gov/authorities/genreForms). Each result has an id, label, and uri parsed from: https://id.loc.gov/search/?q=cs:http://id.loc.gov/authorities/genreForms&format=json

Please let me know if you'd like any changes!

These look good! It's nice to see that LOC's indexing allows searching variant headings, not just preferred headings.
