    Configuring Contextual Relationships for the New Primo UI

    Return to menu

    As part of our Central Discovery Index project (CDI), we have created a graph database that contains relationships between records so that users can explore the following types of relationships easily from a record's full display.

    Supported Related Reading Relationships
    Relation from Relation to Usage

    Books (local and CDI)

    Chapters of the book (CDI)

    Allows users to view specific chapters from the book.

    Books (local and CDI)

    Reviews of the book (CDI)

    Allows users to view any related book reviews.

    Chapters (CDI)

    Other chapters in the book (CDI)

    Allows users to view other chapters from the book.

    For books to book chapters relationships, matches are based on ISBN/eISBN, and for books to book review relationships, matches are also based on title. For title matching, a conservative approach is used (for example, by disregarding short titles) to avoid incorrect mappings, but it may result in fewer matches of this relationship.

    After displaying a record's full details, one or more links to related reading information may appear for the record:

    Related Reading Links

    The number at the end of the link indicates how many relationships exist with the record.

    Selecting a related reading link displays the related items on a results page where users can decide which items to view.
