UU organization name dependency: duplicated entry?

[bakhshir]

Weird issue: depending on how i try to add Utrecht University to participating organizations, RSD gives me different results.

If I type University of Utrecht,

this is what i get even if i choose proper ROR entry:

If I type Utrecht University, I get the proper entry with the logo:

The problem seems to be that the search in the RSD and ROR databases behave differently. The "University of Utrecht" doesn't seem to match any RSD entry, but ROR is smart enough to figure out that you actually mean "Utrecht University".

We should improve the search, and ensure the RSD search is as least as smart as the ROR one

[jmaassen]

We have figured out a way to solve this issue. It basically comes down to this:

• search in ROR first to get a list of potential hits
• search in RSD with both the string and the list of ROR-IDs the ROR search has returned
• return a de-duplicated list that prefers existing RSD entries over new ROR ones

We'll implement this an let you know when it's available.

Isn't this the same as #442?

[bakhshir]

it does not give that error message.

I do when I click on save, did you try that?

[bakhshir]

I don't have to press save button, unless the RSD has been updated and now I have to? I am adding UU to participating organizations.

I have to press save to get the same error as in #442. How do you trigger the error in #442?

I think that in both cases, the RSD database doesn't find what you're looking for, but the ROR database does, because your search string doesn't match what's in the RSD db. But since the entry with the ROR is already in the RSD database, under a slightly different name, you will get an error when trying to add the suggestion from ROR db.
