Has anyone used the Getty TGN as a source for an Authority/Choice Plugin?

[Hardy Pottinger]

I'm working on a repository for which our PI would like us to use the Getty TGN (Getty Thesaurus of Geographic Names) [1] as part of the submission form, for dc.coverage.spatial. I will probably end up using a small subset of the TGN, because the XML for the complete set weighs in at 160MB. However, that's a big job in an of itself... so... I'm wondering if either anyone has done something similar, *or* have you written a plugin to use the online version of the TGN? If you have, would you mind sharing your work? We'd be ever so grateful. Thanks!

On a related note, I bet we could fill out the example controlled vocabularies configuration for DSpace [2] with many more examples. That would be a great contribution to DSpace 7, and it's not dependent on a UI, so it would be a great thing to contribute *right now*.

Here's another possible addition in case someone is interested
in writing the XSLT:

Thanks, Luigi Andrea! I have looked into porting this over to our 6x-based repository, however I can see I need to make some modifications, since the getMatches method has changed from 5x to 6x:

https://github.com/4Science/DSpace/blob/dspace-5_x_x-cris/dspace-api/src/main/java/org/dspace/content/authority/GettyAuthority.java#L126

Since I'm a very lazy developer, I will ask before I start on the migration process if you have already migrated this code to 6x?

Dear Hardy,

I'm working to the migration of DSpace-CRIS 6 based on DSpace 6.x, it is an unstable version and I kept private the branch.

Maybe time has come to share with community...

Here the link to the GettyAuthority on DSpace-CRIS 6.x: https://github.com/4Science/DSpace/blob/dspace-6_x_x-cris/dspace-api/src/main/java/org/dspace/content/authority/GettyAuthority.java

Thank you very much.

Regards,

Luigi Andrea

Thank you so much! I can confirm that this version of the TGN & Getty Authority plugin code compiles cleanly with our fork of DSpace 6x. I'm looking forward to configuring it and testing it out later this morning.

If you don't mind my suggesting it, this would make an excellent addition to DSpace 7.0, please do consider submitting a pull request for it.

Hi, I ran into a problem after configuring this plugin. Here's what I saw in the dspace.log file

2017-06-01 13:00:45,228 ERROR org.dspace.core.LegacyPluginServiceImpl @ No named plugins found for interface=org.dspace.content.authority.ChoiceAuthority

2017-06-01 13:00:45,229 WARN  org.dspace.core.LegacyPluginServiceImpl @ Cannot find named plugin for interface=org.dspace.content.authority.ChoiceAuthority, name="TGNAuthority"

2017-06-01 13:00:45,229 WARN  org.dspace.content.authority.ChoiceAuthorityServiceImpl @ Skipping invalid configuration for choices.plugin.dc.coverage.spatial because named plugin not found: TGNAuthority

I had forgotten a bit of configuration farther up in dspace.cfg, I set this up:

#####  Authority Control Settings  #####

plugin.named.org.dspace.content.authority.ChoiceAuthority = \

org.dspace.content.authority.TGNAuthority = TGNAuthority, \

and now the form loads correctly. However, even though I have a lookup button on the form, it does not appear to work, and there are no errors in dspace.log. Any ideas?

Another point of data: it looks like there is a Javascript error on this form, I'll investigate a bit more, and will copy/paste the error if I can't figure it out.

[Hardy Pottinger]

Here is the error: 

submit:305 Uncaught SyntaxError: Invalid or unexpected token

line 305 is:

<span id="aspect_submission_StepTransformer_field_dc_coverage_spatial_confidence_indicator" class="ds-authority-confidence glyphicon btn-xs cf-blank " title="untranslated">&nbsp;</span><input class="ds-authority-value hidden " type="text" readonly name="dc_coverage_spatial_authority" id="aspect_submission_StepTransformer_field_dc_coverage_spatial_authority" value="" onChange="javascript: return DSpaceAuthorityOnChange(this, 'aspect_submission_StepTransformer_field_dc_coverage_spatial_confidence','');"><input type="hidden" class="ds-authority-confidence-input" name="dc_coverage_spatial_confidence" id="aspect_submission_StepTransformer_field_dc_coverage_spatial_confidence" value="blank"><input class="pull-right ds-button-field btn btn-default ds-add-button" name="lookup_dc_coverage_spatial" type="button" value="Lookup" onClick="javascript:DSpaceChoiceLookup('/xmlui/admin/lookup', 'dc_coverage_spatial', 'aspect_submission_StepTransformer_div_submit-describe', 'dc_coverage_spatial', 'dc_coverage_spatial_authority', 'aspect_submission_StepTransformer_field_dc_coverage_spatial_confidence_indicator', 72af0269-cc2c-4b0b-ae19-4a47e5aa7c72, false, false);">

And now that I've tried to parse through that line, I think I see it: the UUID (72af0269....) is not quoted. I suspect this is from a Handlebars template, I'll look and see.

I'll just mention that DS-3387/DSPR#1573 addressed a similar problem with the ORCID lookup. So... perhaps a template was missed in that fix?

--Hardy

[Hardy Pottinger]

Oh, it's not handlebars, it's in the XSLT, here it is in Mirage2

https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/blob/dspace-6_x/dspace-xmlui-mirage2/src/main/webapp/xsl/aspect/general/choice-authority-control.xsl#L74-L82

That probably worked fine when our IDs were integers.

[Hardy Pottinger]

Jira issue: https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-3611 and my tiny PR: https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/pull/1764

I've said thanks privately, but let me just say publicly that this lookup is really cool, and exactly what our PI was asking for. Thank you so much, Luigi Andrea, for sharing it with us. Please do consider contributing it for DSpace 7.0.

Hi Luigi Andrea,

Thank you for sharing the code for Getty TGN integration, I've implemented it on one of the repositories I'm maintaining. I have a question though. The TGNAuthority lookup seems to limit its search of placeType to inhabited places only (http://vocab.getty.edu/aat/300008347) [1]. Would it be possible to also include other placeTypes like landscapes or bodies of water. For example, if I search for "Manila", the lookup works perfectly, but I have no search results when I tried "Manila Bay". Or, is there some configuration that I may have missed?

Thanks again and regards,

Dear Luigi Andrea,

I want to ask if you have migrated the GettyAuthority and the VIAFAuthority code to work for DSpace 7.x? I tried to migrate the code but I'm not really sure if my migration is correct. In our production servers running 6.x, we rely heavily on these Authority plugins as a way to maintain good metadata quality. Unfortunately, some features like editing the metadata via lookup have not been ported yet to 7.x. (https://github.com/DSpace/dspace-angular/issues/1758)

Thanks in advance!

Regards,
