duplicate result in Subject lookup

[JoannaDatSUL]

Subject lookup (field 3) for LCSH "Public welfare" brought up a list with double entry for "Public welfare" (in stage, windows, chrome)

I couldn't reproduce this for public welfare. However, I could for "public records". QA returns multiple results which have the label "public records" but different URIs:

So I'd suggest that this works correctly. If this seems like a data problem, then should ticket in QA. If additional work can be done to distinguish the two in the UI, then comment here.

[michelleif]

this one is a subdivision: http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2002006377
this one is a "Topic"

: http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85108750

@sfolsom: should QA search of LCSH bring back entries that are only used as subdivisions?

[elrayle]

It seems like the question here is whether there is extended context that can be shown to the user that lets them know the difference between the two results.

@sfolsom What is the action we need to take for this?
