*
genre*The values suggested by the LoC's standard mapping for MODS genre[@authority] attributes (marcgt and marcmuscomp) are currently not supported for manual ingest into the DAMS. Choose from one of the suggested vocabularies for authority-controlled genre terms.
655
genreLook for genre terms in MARC field 655. This MARC field can also contain form information, which should be mapped to DAMS MODS field <physicalDescription><form>.

Solr

In general, all MODS metadata is imported into the DAMS Solr server upon ingest. The ingest process generates Solr fields typically named according to the following schema:

mods_value*_suffix

where

  • value* can be one or multiple element, subelement or attribute names that allow to distinguish Solr fields
  • suffix is s, t, ss, ms or mt, which refers to the type of data stored in a Solr field and how it is indexed. The Solr index usually contains multiple copies of each field with the same content, distinguished by their suffix.

The following table shows mappings between MODS elements and Solr fields for those fields that are currently used for display in the Collections portal, or where additional processing happens in Islandora or during the publishing process. Suffixes are ignored, unless relevant for the mapping.

The value for Genre is merged with metadata values for Form/Medium and Type of Resource for display on the Collections portal (label "Type").

The Solr field display_type_ms is generated from mods_type_consolidated_ms upon publishing, to feed the "Type" facet on the Collections portal start page. The first letter of each word is capitalized.
