Introduction

CDI's ranking accepts user preferences (such as the user's disciplines of interest and newer material preference) to rank the results for queries that include the CDI search scope. For blended searches that include CDI, the preferences are applied only to records returned from CDI. When this functionality is enabled in Primo/Primo VE, users can set and apply the preferences only in search tabs that include the CDI search scope.

CDI Discipline Mapping

The disciplines used by CDI are a select set of top-level subjects from the Hierarchical Interface to Library of Congress Classification (HILCC) – HILCC Sort by Categories (columbia.edu).

Content in CDI comes from many different sources, including providers and institutional repositories. The CDI service maps disciplines via Subject Terms and Call Number fields from these different sources. Disciplines are mapped at the individual item-level, not at the broad database level. Journal articles, along with items from many other resource types in CDI, have one or more discipline mapped to them. As new content is indexed in CDI, it is assigned to a discipline if there is a discipline match.
