Local ID

Collection slug that appears in all URLs in the collection


  • When Local ID matches EAD ID / Finding aid Slug, it is generally added during ingest. 
  • When Local ID does not match EAD ID / Finding aid slug, Molly will work with champion to define it and add it to DDR 

EAD ID
  • Finding aid slug that enables the source collection details to appear on the collection landing page
  • Triggers the “source collection” link on item page
  • For collections that include multiple collections list those somewhere in collection ID

For collections that include multiple collections list those somewhere in collection ID?? Does Collection ID mean EAD ID here?

Research Contact Help

  • Triggers contact information to appear on item landing page

Molly adds the details as part of the pre-launch work

  • Can we add this as a facet on the DC homepage? 
Aleph ID

Does adding this at the collection level trigger anything in the UI?
Subjects

Work with champions to cull the list of subjects that appear on the finding aid or catalog record.  In general we will crosswalk subjects only in subfield a or b of the collection's catalog record.


  • Do we know where collection level metadata will display and how end users will use them to browse collections or create canned Blacklight search URLs. 
  • Will Maggie add subjects or should Molly?
