Missing authors / creators / contributors in authority source metadata #59

Open atomrab opened 7 years ago

atomrab commented 7 years ago

This may be related to periodo/periodo-client#90. In at least one instance, a call to a Worldcat record with a clear set of authors, when adding a new collection, pulls in the title and the date but not the creators (http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/892462417). This is a problem if we're trying to make it easy to keep track of intellectual genealogies. I haven't tested to see if the problem is specific to this title, or a current problem with Worldcat titles in general.

This is fixed by 93f4d0d08cbe11da8d16b57580f896fdefdf9c91. OCLC seems to use schema:author to mark the author of a work. We were only checking for dc:creator and schema:creator.

I'll go through WorldCat sources and see which ones are missing creators.

ptgolden commented 5 years ago

It must be the case that somewhere along the way, OCLC changed the predicate they used to describe authorship, because a number of WorldCat sources have creators. My guess is 2017, around when you filed this issue.

Moving to periodo-data issues since this has been fixed in the client.

These authorities still need to be fixed:
