[Wactclc-primo] FW: [Wactclc-alma] Edmonds issues with Headings Enrichment in Primo

Fri Nov 3 10:37:31 PDT 2017

1.       Appearance of (authority type) in browse search

Just FYI, the authority type appearing in the subject browse search is not a function of heading enrichment, afaik.

The authority type is normalized into the PNX and appears in Primo based on the subject headings in the bibliographic records:

https://knowledge.exlibrisgroup.com/Primo/Product_Documentation/Technical_Guide/010The_PNX_Record/150The_Browse_Section/040Configuring_the_Normalization_Rules#Authority_Type

The authority types that your libraries don’t actively use may appear based on their presence in records downloaded from WorldCat, or content activated in the community zone or PCI.

If you don’t want to see those authority types, you could open an SF case to request their removal (I would include the link above, as a quick reference for them)

2.       Appearance of “see” cross-references in subject browse searches

Again, not really a function of headings enrichment. The cross-references you see in the browse search results are built using the subject headings in the title records.

https://knowledge.exlibrisgroup.com/Primo/Product_Documentation/Technical_Guide/010The_PNX_Record/150The_Browse_Section/040Configuring_the_Normalization_Rules#Cross-References

So, if you’re not seeing the “big foot see sasquatch” in the results, try adding the non-preferred term to one of your sasquatch title records. And after the overnight publishing to Primo of that change, you should see that in the browse search results.

I don’t know whether authority-based cross-references can be normalized into the browse search, even when the non-preferred term is not present in a title record.

I did post that question to Alma-L late yesterday, and am waiting to see what I get back.

Nice, Lesley! It’s useful to see how the displays differ without Headings Enrichment. I wouldn’t have expected some of those results. Interesting!

Nina, I think what you did here was really helpful… so I copied it!

Dale- we disabled Headings Enrichment when the “g” subjects appeared and haven’t done anything sense. I added my notes to Nina’s in your doc. I think it’s interesting that sometimes I’m seeing the behaviors you are reporting, and other times not.

Best,
Lesley

Thanks for sharing your results, Dale! We enabled Headings Enrichment two weeks ago, but after hearing from you that it was glitchy, we decided not to republish our catalog. So, although Headings Enrichment was enabled for the screenshots I attached, the vast majority of our records were created before Headings Enrichment would have applied to them (…if I understand correctly how that works).

That said, we are seeing a lot of the same results that you are. I hope my comments are easy enough to find. I added them to the original doc in bold blue font, with screenshots where appropriate.

Because we enabled HR but haven’t republished, maybe our results can help troubleshoot whether what you’re seeing is a Headings Enrichment “feature,” or not.

We are definitely not going to republish our catalog until we understand more about how enrichment works. In fact, now I plan to disable HR in order to examine the results without it.

Thanks for the heads up! (And wow, how did it get to be November? Happy one to all from here, too.)

Hello,

I am cross posting this message to both the Alma list and the Primo list.

Edmonds decided to try the Headings Enrichment feature; however, we are quite unhappy with the outcome.

I was able to get ExLibris to re-publish my entire database, but the results are definitely not what I expected.

There are sample examples of the kinds of issues we are dealing with on the attached document.  I am not trying to figure out where to go from here.  I don't know if some of the issues can be fixed by editing normalization rules or not.  I also don't know if I will be able to get ExLibris to re-publish my entire database if I decide to turn off Headings Enrichment.

If you have not done the Headings Enrichment yet I would recommend that you review my document, which should help you decide if you really want to.

Happy November!
