Hierarchical depth of collections and sub-collections in the DAMS
The hierarchy illustrated below is what DAMS users will be expected to adhere to until further notice:
- Namespace collections (Architectural Collections, Benson Latin American Collection, etc.)
- Sub-Collection 1
- Sub-Collection 2
- Object
- Sub-Collection 2
- Sub-Collection 1
- Namespace collections (Architectural Collections, Benson Latin American Collection, etc.)
This decision is informed by four main factors:
- Recommendations for optimal performance now
- Considerations for ease of migration to a newer version of Fedora in the future
- Appropriate level of custom configuration and development for this initial implementation
- Adding more hierarchy if needed is a more natural progression and easier than removing unnecessary or problematic hierarchy
