Hi all, the relevant parameters are discovery.browse.authority.ignore-prefered discovery.index.authority.ignore-prefered
I was probably partially wrong about the browse behavious as looking to the code (sorry I have had no chances to make an actual test) the metadatavalue is never recorded in the browse index when it is authority controlled see https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/blob/master/dspace-api/src/main/java/org/dspace/browse/SolrBrowseCreateDAO.java#L186 instead the search (facets) only include the prefered form if you use default configuration, see https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/blob/master/dspace-api/src/main/java/org/dspace/discovery/SolrServiceImpl.java#L1091 it looks also as the browse system is buggy when the ignore-prefered is set to true as probably nothing is indexed in the browse in this case. Probably we have fixed this bug on our dspace-cris fork and we have forget to back port to the basic dspace see https://github.com/Cineca/DSpace/blob/dspace-5_x_x-cris/dspace-api/src/main/java/org/dspace/browse/SolrBrowseCreateDAO.java#L224 about your second question, which is the authority for authors in a dspace-cris instance it is the internal researcher pages database and the ORCID registry, in a standard DSpace istance you can configure the ORCID registry as first lookup for the authors name, when the item is archived the orcid record is recorded in a local cache solr based that is what is actually used as authority https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/blob/master/dspace/config/dspace.cfg#L1563 this mean that, at least if you no edit the metadata value directly in the database or using the admin edit, you cannot have an authority with a corresponding value different than the "prefered one". With DSpace-CRIS where also variants are managed out-of-box this can happen more easily.

Where in "discovery.cfg" is this configured? A github link would help. 2. Who is the "authority" for authors? Excuse the pun!

Peter Dietz Peter M Dietz PM Dietz Dietz, Peter M Dietz, PM Does DSpace have any facility to map these distinct values to the same author, such that a search for "Peter Dietz", will match when the value is stored as "Dietz, PM". Or, is the recommendation just to edit the metadata, and consolidate the distinct values into one single acceptable form. (Probably the longest version of a name). My read of "Authority" is that it will give you a backstore, but I don't see it as being a mapping of different ways of spelling the same thing. Perhaps this is another need for richer metadata objects? name.givenname, name.surname, ... ________________ Peter Dietz Longsight www.longsight.com [email protected] p: 740-599-5005 x809 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "DSpace Technical Support" group.
