    Digitool

    This information is not applicable to Primo VE environments. For more details on Primo VE configuration, see Primo VE.
    DigiTool has two template mappings normalization rule sets, one for Dublin Core and the second for MARC 21. Most fields have the same mappings as the Generic Dublin Core or the Generic MARC 21 respectively. The sections below only include the fields for which the rules differ.

    Display

    These fields are taken from the <mds> section, where the <name>='descriptive'.
    Display Section
    Element Mapping from Digitool
    Title
    If title cannot be created from MARC or DC data then it should be created from control/label.
    Physical Format
    In addition to the generic mapping:
    From<stream_ref> <stream_ref>: <mime_type>
    Resource Type
    See mapping below

    Mapping to Resource Type

    The resource type can be mapped based on two different elements in the digital object:
    • Mime type<mime_type> from the <stream_ref> section. This mapping includes only the most common ones and it may be necessary to add additional ones.
    • Entity type<entity_type> from the <control> section.
    There is no standard list of entity types. Sites can create their own types. This mapping uses the Digitool demo list.

    Thumbnail
    Derived from <relations> section where the <type> is manifestation and the <usage_type> is THUMBNAIL. Within the <relation> there is a <urls> section. Take the url where the <url_type> is stream. If there are several such links, take the first one only.
    The field should have two subfields:
    • $$T digitool_thumb
    • $$1 the PID from the link

    Link Example

    - <relations>
    - <relation>
      <type>manifestation</type>
      <pid>DTL02000000003000001</pid>
      <label>Flag of the U.S. deployed on surface of the Moon.</label>
      <note xsi:nil="true" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" />
      <usage_type>THUMBNAIL</usage_type>
      <creation_date>2005-11-04 09:30:47</creation_date>
      <modification_date>2005-11-04 09:30:47</modification_date>
      <file_extension>jpg</file_extension>
      <mime_type>image/jpeg</mime_type>
      <external_type>-1</external_type>
      <directory_path>C:\ng\digitool\home\system\bin\../../profile\bin\../storage/2005\11\04\file_1/DTL02000000003000001</directory_path>
      <entity_type xsi:nil="true" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" />
    - <urls>
      <url type="stream">http://il-dtldev02:1801/webclient/DeliveryManager?pid=DTL02000000003000001</url>
      <url type="descriptive_metadata">http://il-dtldev02:1801/webclient/MetadataManager?pid=
    DTL02000000003000001&descriptive_only=true</url>
      <url type="formated_metadata">http://il-dtldev02:1801/webclient/MetadataManager?pid=DTL02000000003000001</url>
      </urls>
    The above example should create the following field:
    thumbnail $$Tdigitool_thumb$$1 DTL02000000003000001

    Search

    For MARC, the fields are the same as the generic MARC.
    For Dublin Core the fields are as follows:
    Search Section
    Index Source Note
    Full text
    <indexes>/<index>
     
    TOC s
    From <mds> where the <name> is mets_section and the <type> is structMap, take the content of all LABELs.
     
    General
    Same as generic and in addition:
     From <stream_ref>: <file_extension>
     
    Restricted search scope
     
    Restricted search scopes can be created in Primo in the same way that Denied logical bases are created in DigiTool.

    Sort

    For MARC, the fields are the same as the Generic MARC.
    For Dublin Core, the fields are the same as Generic Dublin Core.

    Facets

    For MARC, the same as for MARC 21 except for "top-level" and "Pre-filter", which use the Resource Type field from the display.
    For Dublin Core:
    Facets Section
    Facet Fields from DigiTool Note
    Top-level
    Online_resources if there is a stream type URL.
     

    Delivery and Scoping

    Local mapping required as relevant.
