DefinitionContains a unique standard number or code that distinctively identifies a resource.
MODS element name/attributes

<identifier>

type attribute: (values: utldamsURI, utldamsPID, uri, pid, local)

MODS subelements/attributes

no subelements

 

MODS example

<identifier type=”utldamsURI”>https://dams.lib.utexas.edu/islandora/object/utlarch%3A67c766da-7364-49f8-82a5-443b13f8bd07</identifier>
<identifier type=”uri”>http://hdl.loc.gov/loc.law/llst.072</identifier>

<identifier type=”pid”>isla-1234567-89 </identifier>
<identifier type="utldamsPID" displayLabel="UTLDAMS PID" > utlarch:67c766da-7364-49f8-82a5-443b13f8bd07 </identifier>

 

<identifier type=”local” displayLabel="Local">batch no.12456523</identifier>

 

DC mapping

The MODS <identifier> element is mapped to <dc:identifier>.

MARC mapping

map those with attribute type "URI" to MARC 21 field 856

Requiredyes, at least: utldamsURI, utldamsPID
Repeatableyes
Authority Controllocal list of identifier types (per attributes above)
Input Guidelines

Follow your unit/collection guidelines per Supervisor/Collection Owner for local identifiers. Each identifier input separately.

Use local identifier type to record tape vault numbers for facilitate vault restore requests.

Form field label/display label

UTLDAMS URI

UTLDAMS PID

URI

Persistent Identifier (PID)

Local Identifier

For discussion

Consult with developers on: possibility of drop down menu for identifier types to cut down on number of form fields; need for more than one PID; repeatable not just to allow one of each identifier type, but also to allow multiple of all or some identifier types. Writing PIDs of member objects into bag-info txt file for bagging (captures hasMember type of relationships, while including the rels-ext for the collection in the bag captures isMemberOf, allowing us to rebuild structure in each direction and be assured of collections' completeness outside of the interface/DAMS environment - important for preservation purposes).

Appropriate method for handling MODS write of utldamsURI and utldamsPID identifiers is pending, for object-level elements also.
