  • Seven Simple Steps to Making Your Content Available in the CRRA Portal – Catholic Research Resources Alliance (CRRA) Blog
    Step 5 collect the metadata records from your system s For example some sort of search might be done to extract all identified MARC records from an ILS All EAD files describing materials apropos to the Portal might be saved to a directory A report might be written against a database to create a tab delimited text file Etc There are three things to remember when extracting the metadata The first is something we are calling MARC ability For better or for worse VuFind only accepts MARC records as input and consequently all metadata received for ingestion must be translated into MARC Thus real MARC records are easily accepted but tagged MARC records are not EAD files can be cross walked to MARC and thus easily accepted Some sort of delimited CSV tab etc file works well because they are easily parsed HTML files are poorly structured making any mapping process very difficult The same goes for any word processed file Word WordPefect etc MARC any flavor of XML and delimited files work best Second each metadata record requires a number of specific fields Each record requires a unique identifier For MARC records this is a value in the 001 field For EAD files this is denoted by the identifier attribute in the eadid element Next each record requires a pointer to where the described item can be found Generally speaking these are either call numbers or URLs saved in the appropriate fields The last requirement is not really a field but formatting All data must be saved using the UTF 8 character encoding Any other encodings like MARC 8 are not readable If not saved in plain ASCII or UTF 8 then diacritics display incorrectly and confuse the VUFind indexer The third and final thing to remember is in regards to four levels of data integrity The first level speaks to the way your data is structured For XML files this means they are well formed For MARC records it means the leader is 24 bytes long the value of the first 5 characters of the leader equals the length of each record fields are delimited with the appropriate ASCII characters etc The second level speaks to validity For XML files it means the data conforms to a DTD or schema For MARC records it means authors are in 1xx fields the title is in 245 notes are in 5xx etc The third level of integrity is correctness To what degree is the value in 245 the title of the item To what degree are the URLs not broken Etc The last level of integrity is in regards to completeness A metadata record s completeness is directly proportional to its findabilty The first two levels of integrity can be validated through computer technology The second two levels are the domain of librarianship Send records to Notre Dame After the records have been exported email them to emorgan nd edu and they will be ingested into VuFind You re done
