Subject: Artists names harmonization

 

Hi Eric,

 

As you know, Francis and I are working on selecting forms of artists names that are the same across the art and library collections. 

 

In some cases the Library of Congress will not make changes on our account, and we were wondering if you could add our locally harmonized names, such as the ones below, to the  BlackLight Creator facet? We hope it’s not too much of a lift for you?

 

ILS name form (from LoC) | New YCBA name forms to use for BL Creator facet -- | -- Mellon, Paul | Mellon, Paul, 1907-1999 Siddall, Elizabeth | Siddal, Elizabeth, 1834-1862 Otero-Pailos, Jorge | Otero-Pailos, Jorge, born 1971 De Francia, Peter | De Francia, Peter, 1921–2012 Nicholson, William, 1872-1949 | Nicholson, William Sir, 1872–1949

 

Another element that can create duplicates in the BlackLight Creator facet is when TMS uses an en-dash between birth and death dates versus a hyphen. Would it be possible to make the BlackLight Creator facet dash-insensitive?

 

Best,

 

Emmanuelle

Updated LOC NAF alt names to "New YCBA name forms to use for BL Creator facet" in TMS (Mellon was already done).

@yulgit1 Nice progress!

In the search results view, the name retains the LoC form where we want the new YCBA name form, e.g. for Paul Mellon (screenshot):

Is that name form from a different field?

yulgit1 commented 1 year ago

@flapka Yes harmonization has been applied to Creator facet field only. We could use the Creator facet field "loc_naf_author_ss" in the masonry search results too instead of "author_ss"?

flapka commented 1 year ago

@yulgit1 I think that'd make sense in masonry view and list view alike.

yulgit1 commented 1 year ago

@flapka Marc records now using loc_naf_author_ss in search results, both masonry and list view

Looks great.

edgartdata commented 1 year ago

@yulgit1 @flapka Wow, this is working really well! I will keep going through the list of constituents shared across all YCBA collections looking for differences and keep track of it here https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ZcGuJTtJu7H6RUXGqOkJ0viBy2v0isdgtqsGMyh7tfI/edit#gid=1634155427 (placing the link here for my sanity as much as anything).

flapka commented 1 year ago

Thanks @edgartdata . Add desired revisions additions to LoC on this tab: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ZcGuJTtJu7H6RUXGqOkJ0viBy2v0isdgtqsGMyh7tfI/edit#gid=1603769168

I revised the LoC Asselijn heading today, adding the approximate date of birth.

edgartdata commented 1 year ago

Again capturing the process on this here:

  1. First tab: long list of TMS names matched with their LoC equivalents, i.e. columns A-E as you had it previously. This serves to track your activity adding the necessary info to TMS.
  2. Second tab: Blacklight’s / Eric’s lookup list to transform ILS names to the TMS (preferred) form, when we don’t like the LoC form
  3. Third tab: names to add or edit in LoC. This serves as a checklist of things I need to do.
edgartdata commented 1 year ago

@flapka As you know I entered the updated name for Asselijn in TMS, the one that we agreed on and that you updated in LoC: Asselijn, Jan, approximately 1610-1652 so this morning I was expecting the name to return results in BlackLight from TMS and Orbis but it only returns the one TMS record. What happened to the 4 RBM? https://collections.britishart.yale.edu/?q=Asselijn+&search_field=simple_search

flapka commented 1 year ago

Gah, sorry. I neglected to make the corresponding edits in the Orbis records. I've just done that this morning, so the changes should show up in the next re-indexing.
