Summon: Mapping OAI-DC Fields in Institutional Repositories to Summon Search Fields
- Product: Summon
How do OAI-DC fields map to the Summon search fields?
If your Institutional Repository (IR) supports OAI-PMH (Open Access Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting) and uses the OAI-DC (Dublin Core) metadata schema, please refer to the following table for information on how the DC fields map to the Summon search fields:
| OAI-DC Field | Summon Search Field |
| <element ref="dc:title"/> | Title |
| <element ref="dc:creator"/> | Author |
| <element ref="dc:subject"/> | Subject Terms |
| <element ref="dc:description"/> | Abstract |
| <element ref="dc:publisher"/> | Publisher |
| <element ref="dc:contributor"/> | Editor (if Book or Book Chapter); Dissertation Advisor (if Dissertation) |
| <element ref="dc:date"/> | Publication Date |
| <element ref="dc:type"/> | used for Content Type mappings if applicable |
| <element ref="dc:format"/> | not used for default mappings; may be used if appropriate |
| <element ref="dc:identifier"/> | URL of item, if applicable |
| <element ref="dc:source"/> | not used for default mappings; may be used if appropriate |
| <element ref="dc:language"/> | Language |
| <element ref="dc:relation"/> | not used for default mappings; may be used if appropriate |
| <element ref="dc:coverage"/> | not used for default mappings; may be used if appropriate |
| <element ref="dc:rights"/> | Copyright |
If your IR uses elements from the Qualified Dublin Core metadata schema (such as <element ref="dc.contributor.author"/>), we can still map them into CDI, and they will map as you would expect (Author, in this example).
