Solr
In general, all MODS metadata is imported into the DAMS Solr server upon ingest. The ingest process generates Solr fields typically named according to the following schema:
mods_value*_suffix
where
- value* can be one or multiple element, subelement or attribute names that allow to distinguish Solr fields
- suffix is s, t, ss, ms or mt, which refers to the type of data stored in a Solr field and how it is indexed. The Solr index usually contains multiple copies of each field with the same content, distinguished by their suffix.
The following table shows mappings between MODS elements and Solr fields for those fields that are currently used for display in the Collections portal, or where additional processing happens in Islandora or during the publishing process. Suffixes are ignored, unless relevant for the mapping.
| MODS element | Mapping condition | Solr DAMS | Solr Collections Portal | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| originInfo/publisher | dc.publisher | dc.publisher | ||
| originInfo/publisher | mods_originInfo_publisher | N/A |
