Re: [Archivesspace_Users_Group] Auto stemming search results on AS 2.5

[Custer, Mark]

Hi, Aditi.

So, I don’t know how best to approach this, but I can say how we’ve approached 
this at Yale for the time being.  We’ve updated our solr/schema.xml file to use 
the Krovetz stemmer, which is a non-aggressive stemmer that works well for the 
English language since it’s primarily dictionary based.  Here’s an example of 
how we changed that:  
https://github.com/fordmadox/archivesspace/blob/2.4.1.yale.hm.mm/solr/schema.xml#L338-L357
 (the stemmer is used both for the index, at line 347, and at query time, at 
line 355).

Please note that this tactic affects both the staff and public interface.  
Well, I should say that it primarily affects the staff interface.  One wrinkle 
that we’ve discovered is that in the typeahead feature in the staff interface, 
the query is handled a bit differently there and it’s not stemmed (I’ve been 
meaning to look into seeing what would need to change here but I still haven’t 
done that yet).  So, if you did a typeahead for something like “scrapbooks” in 
our staff interface when trying to link to a heading, when you type in that 
last “s” then that doesn’t work.  The problem is that the typeahead query is 
not being stemmed, whereas it’s doing a search on an index that has been 
stemmed.  Our workaround is just to type “scrapbook” to find and link to 
“scrapbooks”.  Not ideal, but it beats expecting that users or staff would 
search for “invoice” OR “invoices” to get a set of results that they’d actually 
expect.

I’m definitely a proponent that ArchivesSpace (or any discovery service) should 
include some sort of stemming out of the box, but right now that’s not the case.

Anyhow, I’m curious to hear what sort of approach you take, so please us know.

Mark

Hello,
We’re trying to auto stem our search results on AS 2.5 and don’t quite know how!
For instance, a search for “invoice” on the PUI returns “no results”. A search 
for “invoices” returns 231 results.
Any suggestions on how best to approach this?
Thank you in advance for your time and help.

[Archivesspace_Users_Group] arranging Digital Object records for archived websites

[Kevin Clair]

Hello list,

I’m curious if any ArchivesSpace institutions, particularly those using the 
PUI, can share their strategies for arranging archived websites into a 
collection or record group in ArchivesSpace. I’ve looked at a couple of plugins 
for representing Archive-It crawls as Digital Objects [1] [2]; what I’m 
interested in is to what, exactly, those Digital Objects are getting linked in 
the staff interface. We have a couple of thoughts for how we might do this at 
Denver but I’d be interested to hear others’ thoughts.

thanks!  -k
