people represented facet

[yulgit1]

add

People Represented: add a new facet for them. It maps to when lido:type="subjectActor"

[yulgit1]

there is 'topic_subjectActor_facet' that maps to:

lido:objectRelationWrap/lido:subjectWrap/lido:subjectSet/lido:subject[@lido:type='description']/lido:subjectActor/lido:displayActor

@edgartdata does that suffice? (see comment below) (or rather than the comment below), actually implemented in: https://github.com/ycba-cia/blacklight-collections2/commit/7dc81fb81b517b7669a8640f7044644e33cfa65c can revert if necessary

[edgartdata]

Looks good to me. @flapka and Kraig: Would your collections have metadata to contribute to this facet?

[flapka]

@edgartdata : When library descriptions record a person as subject of the item (MARC 600), it may mean that the person is the subject of the text or that the person is visually depicted (sometimes both). In a fair number of library records, the 600 field will include the subdivision 'Portraits' (e.g. "Mellon, Paul -- Portraits"). I think it would be sensible to map such headings to the people represented facet (discarding the word "Portraits" when we do).

[edgartdata]

@flapka Sounds great! Does that mean that we also need to harmonize names for this facet? That might be more difficult for the art collections as there are many people who don't have authority files. However, whenever we can we do add ULAN URIs to the names of sitters (organized in the TMS thesaurus manager).

[edgartdata]

@KraigBinkowski Would your collections have metadata to contribute to this facet?

[KraigBinkowski]

Yes, ref lib would have same 600 fields as rare, additionally, if we are thinking of the photo archives there are definitely many subjects that include sitters of portraits or family groups. The problem is that the T_Subject tables don't codify the type of subject so to isolate a person represented it would take two fields: the SUBJECT and the CATEGORY = "Portrait".

[flapka]

@edgartdata @KraigBinkowski Thinking aloud: Do we definitely want to exclude library material that is about a person (but without a portrait of the person)? I could see going either way.

The same question is pertinent to place represented.

[edgartdata]

@flapka The People Represented heading is actually misleading: it is rare but it happens that the art collections also uses this metadata element for people alluded to but not represented in, such as for William Shakespeare for whim of course there are wet few portraits. However, 100% of the names of places linked to art collections that show up in the Places Repesented facet are actually visible in the works of art. That said I think both facets would be really powerful ways to connect the library and art collections.

[KraigBinkowski]

No, you're right, I would want to include lib materials about the person as well -- its just with the photo archive that the additional element of PORTRAIT would have to be added to not get hordes of unrelated results.

[edgartdata]

@yulgit1 replace the name of the People Represented facet with "Associated People"

[yulgit1]

@edgartdata On the show page there is the field 'People Represented or Subject' with the same data as the 'People Represented' facet. Should both of these now be "Associated People"?

[edgartdata]

@flapka @KraigBinkowski Do we want this facet to represent cases when a library item is about somebody rather than a visual representation of that person? April 23 discussion item.

[flapka]

@yulgit1 @edgartdata @KraigBinkowski

Simple change: Map to People Represented from MARC 600 (all subfields).

(But MARC 600 should remain mapped to Subject Terms, too)

[yulgit1]

revised xslt for indexing this weekend: 600 (all subfields) to Associated People

https://git.yale.edu/ermadmix/ycba_xslts/commit/d26f7125337a5dfddf01276d802adf6810cc3697

[edgartdata]

@flapka Okay to close for RB?

[flapka]

@yulgit1 @edgartdata

We could consider this resolved as is. Or: would it be better to eliminate the added subdivisions that appear after some names (e.g. "Bacon, Francis, 1909-1992 -- Exhibitions.")? Given the facet scope, I think it'd be better to omit such subdivisions.

If you agree with my suggestion, then we should change the mapping (in this facet) to grab only 600 subfields abcdq. Sorry for not recognizing this earlier.

[yulgit1]

@edgartdata do you agree with Francis, (just 600 abcdq)?

[edgartdata]

@flapka yes, i think dropping the subdivisions (like --Exhibiitons) would be helpful here.

[edgartdata]

@yulgit1 the label in the New Additions facet would be: Past Year

[yulgit1]

@flapka 600abcdq addressed in: https://git.yale.edu/ermadmix/ycba_xslts/commit/7a2f1ceaf2c7d7b10e4c17d2a5a4418433cdaec8

to be reindexed...

[yulgit1]

@flapka how's Associated People look with this 600 abcdq only? OK to close?

[flapka]

Yes, very close. One small issue remains. Some headings include a terminal period, others don’t – depending on whether the mapping stripped away non-abcdq fields. See for example:

http://10.5.96.187:3000/?utf8=%E2%9C%93&f%5Bcollection_ss%5D%5B%5D=Rare+Books+and+Manuscripts&search_field=all_fields&q=reynolds

The heading for Joshua Reynolds appears twice, with and without the terminal period.

Is there a way to normalize and remove that period?

[yulgit1]

normalize by excluding trailing period addressed in: https://git.yale.edu/ermadmix/camel_collections2/commit/137664db7ace9469b7c34fa1c2416832b8f289b8

to be reindexed this weekend

[yulgit1]

@flapka - reindexed, Associated People facet look OK now?

[flapka]

Yes, looks good. Thanks!
