Where do CITEURNs for authors come from? #14

Closed cwulfman closed 2 years ago

cwulfman commented 6 years ago

@AlisonBabeu , looking at the MADS records in catalog_pending, I see that they do not have elements. Presumably part of the move from catalog_pending to catalog_data entails assigning citeurns. How has that been done?

HI @cwulfman, yes, the addition of CITE URNs has always been done automagically I have assumed because I never created them by hand. From looking at the catalog update document (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Oxwg7i0xoo-ym_LfBC3UpsODoCt7z8lQiMlk7szHBiU/edit), it appears that the following happens:

-MADS importer -parses the catalog_pending MADS xml to pull out important parts, any ids, the author name, etc. -searches the CITE tables for authors that match the information -if a row for the author already exists in the authors CITE: -attempt to make sure the canonical_id is correct, add any new alternate ids, check the name and related_works -if it doesn’t exist -add a CITE row for the author -add the newly created CITE id for the author to the MADS file -generate the CITE id (increments from last id in the table) -move the MADS file to catalog_data

Does that answer your question, I think it answers mine! :)

Oy...

This tells me what I need to know, though. If all goes well, I should be able to do this today.

May the GitHub force be with you!
