Thanks, Steve. I also ran across this quotation at http://dltj.org/article/description-datastream/
"working with Fedora's compulsory Dublin Core (DC) datastream started one thinking about the metadata that a repository object would eventually need and how this might be mapped onto the Dublin Core fields. It was some considerable time later than an e-mail on the Fedora-users list made it clear that the inherent DC datastream was intended solely for Fedora's internal use and not as the basis of external searches." So I guess I'm implementing my own lookup mechanism as a web service. -SS On Fri, Aug 28, 2009 at 11:19 AM, Steve Bayliss<stephen.bayl...@acuityunlimited.net> wrote: > Either approach you mention will work, it is probably better to keep > RELS-EXT and DC for their intended purposes (though I don't see anything > problematic for having your own predicate to describe where an object was > sourced from, this seems to be within the intended use of RELS-EXT). > > Folks commonly implement additional indexing and searching services on top > for extending the searching capabilities - you could take a look at GSearch > for doing this - > http://fedora-commons.org/confluence/display/FCSVCS/Generic+Search+Service+2 > .2 > > This is fully configurable, you can decide what fields in which datastreams > you wish to index, and if you want can do full-text indexing as well. > > Steve > > -----Original Message----- > From: Stuart Sierra [mailto:the.stuart.sie...@gmail.com] > Sent: 28 August 2009 15:57 > To: fedora-commons-users@lists.sourceforge.net > Subject: [Fedora-commons-users] Where to store things you need to search? > > > As I learn about Fedora, I'm wondering where to store fields that I > want to search on. > > For example, I'm storing downloaded web pages.
