Re: [Dspace-tech] DSpace as an authority control for authors
Hello helix, Thanks for your response. I would like to know if how can I make our repository as an authority file, specifically I want to use SampleAuthority plugin to lookup to existing names with authority. If it's not that complicated, where would I put your suggested sql query in SampleAuthority.java if ever I want to use it as the basis for my name authority plugin? Thanks in advance and regards, Elvi On Thu, Jan 3, 2013 at 10:57 PM, helix84 heli...@centrum.sk wrote: On Fri, Dec 28, 2012 at 7:40 AM, Nemiz, Elvi esne...@seafdec.org.ph wrote: Previously I used LCName authority plugin to lookup and to make the authors authority-controlled.

Hi Elvi, you could do this: SELECT * FROM metadatavalueWHERE authority IS NOT NULL or if you want to leave out duplicate authors, do this: SELECT DISTINCT authority, confidence, text_value FROM metadatavalueWHERE authority IS NOT NULL Regards, ~~helix84 Compulsory reading: DSpace Mailing List Etiquette https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/Mailing+List+Etiquette -- Master HTML5, CSS3, ASP.NET, MVC, AJAX, Knockout.js, Web API and much more.

If it's not that complicated, where would I put your suggested sql query in SampleAuthority.java if ever I want to use it as the basis for my name authority plugin? Like SampleAuthority, your plugin would need to implement the three methods from ChoiceAuthority: getMatches, getBestMatch and getLabel. There is quite a lot of documentation about the expected behaviour of these methods in ChoiceAuthority.java: https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/blob/master/dspace-api/src/main/java/org/dspace/content/authority/ChoiceAuthority.java helix's query just gives you all metadata values where there already is an authority key. This might be a candidate for getMatches, but of course it wouldn't compare the name you're about to add to things in the database. The getMatches method has access to the metadata field (parameter field) and to the value that is to be looked up (parameter text), so you could use these to refine the SQL query, eg by looking up metadata values only in that metadata field and/or only values that are similar to the value that is to be looked up. So you'll need to build your SQL query as needed and then invoke it using one of the query methods in DatabaseManager. You'll then need to iterate over the results and build a Choice instance for each so your method can return a Choices instance. For getBestMatch, you could mimic getBestMatch in SampleAuthority and just return the first one for starters. For getLabel, which is used when browsing publications for a given author, you need to do a reverse lookup, which is a bit more complicated. But if you use SolrBrowseDAO anyway then this method may not even get used. For starters, you can always just return the key parameter that was passed into the method. Would it still be possible if I'm using SolrBrowseDAO in my Browse Configuration instead of the default? I'm using dspace 3.0, xmlui with discovery enabled. The above should still work; however as far as I know, discovery and the solr stats completely ignore all authority keys and use the text values instead. So you won't get all the benefits of name authority. cheers, Andrea -- Dr Andrea Schweer IRR Technical Specialist, ITS Information Systems The University of Waikato, Hamilton, New Zealand -- Master HTML5, CSS3, ASP.NET, MVC, AJAX, Knockout.js, Web API and much more.

[Dspace-tech] DSpace as an authority control for authors
Dear all, Previously I used LCName authority plugin to lookup and to make the authors authority-controlled. I edited some authority keys since it shows up in sidebar facets and browse by authors pages. If I don't want to use LCName plugin anymore, and instead want to lookup to existing authors that have already an authority key, how can I achieve this? Did anybody somehow modified the existing SampleAuthority plugin to get it to lookup existing values from the DSpace database? Would it still be possible if I'm using SolrBrowseDAO in my Browse Configuration instead of the default? I'm using dspace 3.0, xmlui with discovery enabled. Thanks in advance. Regards, Elvi S.
