Incomplete search results

[Gabriel Kerneis]

Hi,

Looking for "arts and crafts" in AAT does not return "Arts and Crafts (movement)" (aat:300266319). Looking for "arts crafts" does. Any idea what is going on here?

Thanks,

Gabriel

Hi Gabriel!

As explained in Full_Text_Search_Query, this makes a FTS for "arts* AND and* AND crafts*".

"and" is a stop-word (not indexed by Lucene), so the query does not match anything.

You should rather search for "arts crafts" (or if you're unsure about singular vs plural, use "art craft").

If you need different searches, you'll need to use SPARQL. Eg see Find_Subject_by_Exact_English_PrefLabel.

Note: if you search for "art and" in Any thesaurus, you'll find things like Andover Museum and Art Gallery  and Artzt, Jean-André.

So you see that "and" doesn't search for that word, but a prefix.

Hope this helps!

Hi Gabriel! A good SPARQL query for this purpose is this:

SELECT * {
  ?c a gvp:Concept;
    skos:inScheme ?aat;
    gvp:prefLabelGVP/xl:literalForm ?label ;
    skos:scopeNote [dct:language gvp_lang:en; rdf:value ?ScopeNote] ;
    luc:term "\"arts and crafts\""
}

This comes from this discussion: http://answers.semanticweb.com/questions/29668/getty-lod-how-do-i-search-an-exact-phrase.

I'll document it in the ver 3.1 of the documentation

This also returns aat:300054704 "crafts (art genre)". That's no mistake, this genre has an alt label "arts and crafts".
A small fix for the query (works even without it). One of the lines should be:

    skos:inScheme aat:;
