Using Authority Control in DSpace

[ajdab...@tamu.edu]

Hi Everyone,

I'm writing to ask if anyone has experience using and/or extending the authority control feature in DSpace?

Here at Texas A&M, were looking at using this feature in a couple of metadata fields that contain person names for theses and dissertations. We're exploring the use of both ORCiDs as well as VIVO URIs and are interested hearing experiences and ideas from other institutions. 

Thanks!

Anna,

We are not using this feature, so I imagine that others can offer a more detailed response.  

I noticed that the ORCID lookup process appears to be enabled on demo.dspace.org if you want to experiment with it.

This process saves a reference to the authority record (uuid in SOLR) but it does not make the ORCID immediately available in metadata.

Dear Terry,

I tried this and it seems not to work.

Stefanie, I see that error now as well.  I have submitted a bug report: https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-3350

The University of Saskatchewan enabled ORCID recently.  Not many of our faculty have tried it yet, although I've done some testing.  As Terry mentioned, a lot of data gets put into the authority control Solr database, but none of that is available as metadata when the item page is rendered.  That's actually on my to-do list, so if anyone knows how to get authority control data data into the DRI/XML, please feel free to send me suggestions!

We haven't tried anything other than the built-in authority control/ORCID functionality -- populating the authority control data from an external source, for example.

Ana, I'm curious if your question stems from planned future integration between Vireo (which the UofS is using) and DSpace.  I know Vireo allows our students to enter their ORCID, but currently it comes over as part of the ETD metadata, and doesn't make it into DSpace's authority control database.

Darryl, 

I found some sample code for XMLUI I had written to pull the ORCID out of the SOLR authority.

Here it is in case you find it useful.

Hi Terry,

 

Do you have an example of this working in a live repository? (for a non-techie)

Does this code associate the ORCID with the correct author? Rather than just as a piece of metadata in the record.

 

Amanda

 

This process saves a reference to the authority record (uuid in SOLR) but it does not make the ORCID immediately available in metadata.

[Terry Brady]

Amanda,

We disabled the authority mechanism, so I can no longer test this.  I thought I was able to pull the correct value.  Hopefully this code could help towards a solution.

Hi Darryl, 

We’re currently doing the same thing as you in terms of asking for ORCiDs in Vireo and pushing them to DSpace as metadata. My understanding from the developers here at Texas A&M—who are working on the new version of Vireo—is that this is going to continue being the case with Vireo for the time being. To put it briefly, this is one application that would benefit from answers to my question. 

However, in the Vireo case ORCiDs would be tied to the Thesis/Dissertation authors. The actual reason for asking my question is that we are also bringing up VIVO as a profile system for faculty and interested in linking this more closely with OAKTrust. We are curious to know if others have experience with using the name authority control because we would like to test using ORCiDs or VIVO URIs or possibly both for a single person. This person would be a faculty member serving as committee chair for a given Thesis/Dissertation, rather than the graduate student author. 

Hope this makes sense and thank you for the great thread!

Anna

[ajdab...@tamu.edu]

Sorry, I mindlessly wrote "OAKTrust" in my last message, this is the name of our DSpace repository at Texas A&M....

[ajdab...@tamu.edu]

Thank you all for your responses!

Anna

[Friesen, Darryl]

Sorry about the late response to this thread.  I finally got around to looking into this.  Thought I’d follow up to say thanks to Terry for the gist (was very helpful!) and Ivan for the link to the DSpace docs.  I’m also including some more detail on what I did to get this to work in our environment (DSpace 5.5, XMLUI, custom theme based on Mirage 2).

 

item-view.xsl (the location of which depends on you setup I think; we have a custom Mirage 2 theme, so I copied it from its original location into my theme directory into xsl/aspect/artifactBrowser) has the following template:

 

<xsl:template name="itemSummaryView-DIM-authors-entry">

    <div>

        <xsl:if test="@authority">

            <xsl:attribute name="class"><xsl:text>ds-dc_contributor_author-authority</xsl:text></xsl:attribute>

        </xsl:if>

        <xsl:copy-of select="node()"/>

    </div>

</xsl:template>

 

I replaced that with the following.  The ORCID template is virtually unchanged from Terry’s example, and the second part if the itemSummaryView-DIM-authors-entry template is also very similar to the portion he had.

 

<xsl:template name="itemSummaryView-DIM-authors-entry">

    <div>

        <xsl:if test="@authority">

            <xsl:attribute name="class"><xsl:text>ds-dc_contributor_author-authority</xsl:text></xsl:attribute>

        </xsl:if>

        <xsl:copy-of select="node()"/>

 

        <xsl:if test="@authority">

            <xsl:variable name="orcid">

                <xsl:call-template name="ORCID">

                    <xsl:with-param name="uuid" select='@authority'/>

                </xsl:call-template>

           </xsl:variable>

           <xsl:copy-of select="$orcid"/>

        </xsl:if>

    </div>

</xsl:template>

 

<!-- create a link to ORCID using the SOLR authority -->

<xsl:template name="ORCID">

  <xsl:param name='uuid'/>

  <xsl:variable name="solr" select="concat('http://localhost:8080/solr/authority/select?q=id:',$uuid)"/>

  <xsl:variable name="authority" select="document($solr)/response/result/doc/str[@name='orcid_id']/text()"/>

  <xsl:if test="$authority">

    <xsl:text> (</xsl:text>

    <a>

      <xsl:attribute name='href'>

        <xsl:value-of select="concat('http://orcid.org/',$authority)"/>

      </xsl:attribute>

      <xsl:text>ORCID</xsl:text>

    </a>

    <xsl:text>)</xsl:text>

  </xsl:if>

</xsl:template>
