Records with NO title

[matej.durco@oeaw.ac.at]

There are a number of records which have an empty title (they appear with Unnamed record)

Query: ​https://vlo.clarin.eu/search?8&q=-name:*

(Strangely while it was |62407| records on 2018-01-30
it is |168884| as of 2018-02-20 !)

This is really bad for the users, so we need to investigate these and see how we can remedy (either by adding concept-mappings, or going back to the providers asking them to fill out this basic information somehow.)

Main collection contributing:

 Meertens collection: Liederenbank (110031)
 Institut für Deutsche Sprache, CLARIN-D Zentrum, Mannheim (14195)
 CLARIN Centres (9543)
 AGD (6695)
 CLARIN NL : D-LUCEA (3824)
 Meertens Collection: Soundbites (3448)
 Institut für Deutsche Sprache, CLARIN-D Zentrum, Mannheim (2295)
 TalkBank (1787)
 TLA: DiscAn (1271)
 Meertens collection: Etstoel (765)

At least some of these cases appear to be issues with the application of the mapping by the VLO; see ​https://github.com/clarin-eric/VLO/issues/147

We have found a way of mitigating this and now are back to ~62k cases in production (and alpha). See ​VLO issue for details and updates.

added two sub-issues for individual main offending collections:
#1049 - Liederbanken@Meertens
#1050 - IDS

I recollect, we had a special incosistent case at the meeting of two quite identical WeblichtService records (both with title in the metadata) - still one with title-facet empty, but I can't seem to find them again.
Can you help me spot it again?

These were probably an artefact of an issue with the importer. It has been resolved in the meantime, see ​VLO #147 on GitHub.

[Twan Goosen]

No longer a general issue, collection specific issues are covered by #1049 and #1050

[matej.durco@oeaw.ac.at]

Well there are still a few collections, but let's see how much remains, if Meertens manages to resolve theirs.

Good point, better to keep this open as a reminder to evaluate
