University library Indexing Primo at the University of Amsterdam - EMTACL12

University libraryIndexing Theoretically (technically) we can index everything unambiguously Primo at the University of Amsterdam - EMTACL12

University libraryIndexing Local Shared Local Metadata Metadata Index Index Two separate indexes Primo at the University of Amsterdam - EMTACL12

University library PNX Indexing <search> <author> <title> </search> <display> <author> <title> </display> Or similar, <facets> <author> etc. Normalising Harvesting <type> <date> Source </facets> Data records PNX <links>source PNX PNX </links> PNX <delivery> </delivery> Primo at the University of Amsterdam - EMTACL12

University libraryIndexing Local Shared Local Metadata Metadata Index Index No deduplication across indexes No FRBRisation across indexes Primo at the University of Amsterdam - EMTACL12

University libraryIndexing Local Shared Local Metadata Metadata Index Index Consolidate both indexes Adapt local indexing to shared indexing Primo at the University of Amsterdam - EMTACL12

University libraryIndexing <creatorcontrib> Author names Beckett, Samuel </creatorcontrib> <creatorcontrib> Samuel Beckett 1906-1989 </creatorcontrib> <creatorcontrib> Beckett, S </creatorcontrib> Works reasonably well <creatorcontrib> Samuel Beckett Multiple search variants </creatorcontrib> But: strings, no unique identifiers Primo at the University of Amsterdam - EMTACL12

University libraryIndexing Topics Again: strings, no unique identifiers Subjects/topics/keywords etc. are taken from each datasource ‘as is’ Primo at the University of Amsterdam - EMTACL12

University libraryIndexing Resource types Match Resource Types codes across indexes One Resource Type per record Primo at the University of Amsterdam - EMTACL12

University libraryIndexing Resource types Interesting example from institutional repository MODS/DIDL <typeOfResource>text</typeOfResource> <genre>info:eu-repo/semantics/doctoralThesis</genre> Primo at the University of Amsterdam - EMTACL12
