I don't know if this has been discussed before, but I'm interested in
leveraging our authority records for keyword searches in our
"traditional" ILS.
For example a search using "author keywords" or "anywhere keywords" for
"Gafenco, Gregorio" gets no results, yet we have works for: Gafencu,
Grigore, 1892-
With a cross reference from: Gafenco, Gregorio, 1892-
In my mind, this ought not to be rocket science, but I'm not quite sure
how the algorithm would work. Something like:
Basic Keyword search in Bibliographic records +
Keyword search in Type z (authority) records fields 1XX & 4XX ->
if a hit occurs grab the 1XX and perform appropriate keyword search
(i.e. author keyword, title keyword, etc.) on it and add to result set.
Does that make sense? Would you get too many irrelevant hits? Would
this kill your processors?
Is anyone doing it? If so which system?
Thanks in advance for anyone's thoughts!
