Common names on species pages are not showing preferred name

[kylie-m]

Common names on species pages are not showing preferred names.

For example, the Princess Parrot is now Alexandra's Parrot. https://bie.ala.org.au/species/https://biodiversity.org.au/afd/taxa/be7a08f5-387f-4156-91e2-77f0d3d09d8c

This isn't the preferred name for the species in AFD or the BirdLife list.

These will be fixed in the new names index with the addition of a field in the name-matching-service's index.

[TaniaGLaity]

will be fixed in the new backbone - suspect this is a duplicate of other issues

[adam-collins]

A duplicate issue of AtlasOfLivingAustralia/ala-bie-hub#3

[TaniaGLaity]

related but not a duplicate?

[adam-collins]

I assume that most recent comment is asking if it this issue is related to the linked issue only by the keyword common name.

This is not the case. Both are identical because the current vernacularname.txt does not indicate the preferred common name.

The new index fixes this issue because vernacularname.txt has the field <field index="13" term="http:https://rs.gbif.org/terms/1.0/isPreferredName"/>, see the work in progress index https://archives.ala.org.au/archives/nameindexes/20230725-3/.

Of course this does depend on the work being finished:

1. The work in progress index has the field isPreferredName, but it is not populated correctly yet.
2. The current index does not indicate Princess Parrot is the preferred common name, which would fix this issue. The work in progress index does not contain Alexandra's Parrot and while this would also fix the problem described, because there are no other common names for this LSID, it is clear that this is still incomplete work because the non-preferred common name was removed while still being a common name in use https://lists.ala.org.au/speciesListItem/list/dr656?q=Polytelis+alexandrae, http:https://www.environment.gov.au/cgi-bin/sprat/public/publicspecies.pl?taxon_id=758.

There is a change in expectations. The common name that the BIE and namematching return will not be the same, just less random.

[adam-collins]

Now aligned with namematching service. For example bie-index returns commonNameSingle that is the same as namematching vernacularName, search result, species page, bie-index, namematching

Please test, on test

• commonNameSingle in bie-index is the same as the vernacularName in namematching.
• commonNameSingle is the prominent common name, where there are more than one, in ala-bie-hub.

Looks like it's all working ok, passing for me. @CamSlatyer and @TaniaGLaity do you have anything else to add here?

Items tested:

• commonNameSingle in bie-index is the same as the vernacularName in namematching:
  tested & passed for Princess Parrot:
  -- vernacularName in name matching = Princess Parrot https://api.test.ala.org.au/namematching/api/getByTaxonID?taxonID=https%3A%2F%2Fbiodiversity.org.au%2Fafd%2Ftaxa%2Fbe7a08f5-387f-4156-91e2-77f0d3d09d8c&follow=false
  -- commonNameSingle in bie-index matches, ie = Princess Parrot https://bie-ws-test.ala.org.au/ws/species/https://biodiversity.org.au/afd/taxa/be7a08f5-387f-4156-91e2-77f0d3d09d8c
  -- & same as above for English daisy - https://bie-ws-test.ala.org.au/ws/species/https://id.biodiversity.org.au/node/apni/2888214 & https://api.test.ala.org.au/namematching/api/getByTaxonID?taxonID=https://id.biodiversity.org.au/node/apni/2888214

• commonNameSingle is the prominent common name, where there are more than one, in ala-bie-hub:
  tested - passed - correct commonNameSingle for 'English daisy' https://bie-ws-test.ala.org.au/ws/species/https://id.biodiversity.org.au/node/apni/2888214
