Deduplication of authors in BHL – Jackie, Suzanne, and William will be having a call to discuss. 95% of duplication happened before we restructured our author data tables (june of 2012) which means it will be hard to track down how it occurred. Found another bug which explains a small amt. Its hard to review it in bulk and has to be reviewed 1 by 1. Total of 1600 records affected. Would be a lot of work to fix and Mike recommends putting it off for now. Hold til January when synchronization with Australia is possible. This affects order of items and saving. If we remove that rule for now Jackie can re-order. In the meantime develop rules to deal with multiple author names coming from 700 field
False positives in Species searching - is resulting in false outputs where a search on a specific name brings back another name that starts with same letter but is different species name. e.g. http://biodiversitylibrary.org/page/930792 annulus ventralis is being incorrectly equated with agrilus ventralis Probably related to our interaction with Dima’s name services. we are Favoring namebank and EOL in our calls. Not sure if this is an isolated instance or more widespread problem. William asks If we search on a synonym does it return the current name? Mike says Name data is what we get from the service. Not sure. Not an easy solution for this. William will investigate.

OAI-PMH – Mike is finalizing setup of CB providers in BHL portal.
RJB – can’t do OAI MODS right now. Type attribute doesn’t indicate the specific type so that would be most helpful. They don’t differentiate between article and journal – article will have type of journal
