Enabling the ORCID authority control
| Warning | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
In DSpace 5.0 the functionality only includes user interface functionality for the DSpace XML User Interface. |
| Warning | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
In DSpace 5.0 the functionality only adds support for the XMLUI Mirage and Mirage 2 themes. Older XMLUI themes including Kubrick, Reference and Classic are currently unsupported. |
If you wish to enable this feature, some changes are required to the dspace.cfg file. The first step is to activate the authority as a valid option for authority control, this is done by adding/setting an additional plugin in the plugin.named.org.dspace.content.authority.ChoiceAuthority property. An example of this can be found below.
| Code Block |
|---|
plugin.named.org.dspace.content.authority.ChoiceAuthority = \
org.dspace.content.authority.SolrAuthority = SolrAuthorAuthority |
...
Running this script again will update the index and keep the index clean. For example if an author occurs in a single item and that item is deleted the script will need to be run again to remove it from the index. When run again it will remove all records that no longer have a link to existing authors in the database.
Submission of new DSpace items - Author lookup
The submissions forms have not changed much. The only thing you can notice is an extra button next to the input fields for the author names. Next to the Add button, which is common for all repeatable fields, there is the Lookup & Add button.
| Info |
|---|
Note: the below screenshots are from DSpace 6.x. They have not yet been updated for 7.x or above. |
It's by clicking on that button that the Look-up User Interface appears. If an author name was filled in but not added yet, the Lookup User Interface will immediately perform a search for that name. Otherwise the search field remains empty and a list of known authors is displayed. The list of authors is updated as you type in the search box.
...
For each of the ORCID authors a lookup will be done and their names will be added to the metadata. All the non-ORCID authors will be added as well. The authority keys and solr records are added when the reported changes are applied.
Storage of related metadata
...
The information in the authority cache can be updated by running the following command line operation:
| Command used: |
| |
| Arguments | description |
| -i | update specific solr records with the given internal ids (comma-separated) |
| -h | prints this help message |
This will iterate over every solr record currently in use (unless the -i argument is provided), query the ORCID web service for the latest data and update the information in the cache. If configured, the script will also update the metadata of the items in the repository where applicable.
