Publisher's "publishing history" graph shows other publishers' editions #158
Comments
Known issue. We had to do it this way because we didn't had a editions solr to get the editions data. |
Bump. Example: The chart at https://openlibrary.org/publishers/Thomas_Hailes_Lacy shows issues dating back to the 1597 edition publication of MacBeth, which clearly predates Lacy's birth in 1809. If it can't be fixed, there should at least be a disclaimer to avoid confusing users. |
Still a bug. @tfmorris I'm assuming we have an editions Solr to implement the algorithm in the original issue? I'm assuming either you or jdlrobson would head this. |
Yes, a proper fix is dependent on indexing editions (and would probably be fixed automatically with no additional work). If someone wanted to improve things in the mean time, they could implement the Mar 2017 suggestion. |
The patch until editions are indexed (with #2246 most likely) should be to display a disclaimer to the user so they're not confused. Assigning jdlrobson (not tagging as request) per slack discussions. |
Not a frontend issue. The frontend just renders the data passed by the backend and that's what needs to be fixed here. We should just remove the graph if that's not easy (also a backend change) |
This comment #158 (comment) suggests this is rather hard and blocked. |
@mekarpeles Now that editions are being indexed in Solr, this should no longer be blocked |
Whereas the rationale for the graph labeled Publishing History is "This graph charts editions from this publisher over time", it appears that it also charts editions from other publishers who published other editions of the works that are in the first publisher's catalogue.
In pseudocode:
Let P1 be the publisher under study, who published edition E1 of work W1. Other editions of W1 are E2, E3 and E4, published by P2, P3 and P4 respectively. The graph then charts not only E1 (as per the description), but also E2, E3 and E4.
