How can I select only part of the data inside a field in my repository to fill a MARC field in the Metadata map?
Symptom
- You OAI-PMH repository contains a field with the information you need, but it's included inside other data that you don't want to bring over into your Metadata map.
Applies to
- Digital Collection Gateway
Resolution
Digital Collection Gateway provides a field splitting function that will allow you to select a character to split the data in your field.
- From the Home tab, click on Edit under the Metadata Map column of the collection you want to alter.
- Click the MARC View tab.
- Select More > Show Unmapped fields to unhide all the unmapped fields inside the MARC view.
- Click More > Update Field splitting rules.
- Select the Dublin Core field you want your data to come from in the Dublin Core Field drop-down.
- Type in the character you want to split your data on (ie. ";", ",", "-",<space> etc...).
- Click OK.
- Click on the field you want to set up with your newly split data.
- Select the section of the data you want to assign to the field based on the newly split content.
- Click Add.
- Review your records to make sure the field splitting worked well, then save your map.
