Mappings

Dublin Core

No standardised mapping of <location><physicalLocation> to a DC element or vice versa available, cf.:

MARC 21

Currently, only limited values from a list of controlled names are permitted.

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.

For the Collections portal start page, the repository name information is abbreviated. One of the following controlled values is assigned during the Publishing process to create the "Owning Repository" facet:

  • Alexander Architectural Archives
  • Architecture and Planning Library*
  • Benson Latin American Collection
  • Fine Arts Library
  • Perry-Castañeda Library Maps
  • Walter Geology Library
  • University of Texas Libraries
