Determine how to use iiif summary field #154

Open cjcolvar opened 6 years ago

cjcolvar commented 6 years ago

Audiovisual work objects have a summary (DC:abstract) field which gets included in the IIIF metadata hash. Should we put this in the IIIF summary field instead? If so how will this look in other IIIF players, like Mirador or Universal Viewer?

See http://iiif.io/api/presentation/3.0/#summary and http://iiif.io/api/presentation/3.0/change-log/#126-rename-description-to-summary

Related to #116.

@jenyoung and I weren't sure which place would be best for dc:abstract. From the IIIF docs it sounds like summary is meant to be brief and dc:abstract can be brief but can also be extensive. Maybe it's better to always have the full dc:abstract value in the metadata hash and then a shortened value (with an ellipsis ... cutting off after a certain number of words/characters) for summary?

cjcolvar commented 6 years ago

That was my first thought as well. I'm not totally sure how UV or other IIIF viewers handle the summary so some investigation of that might help inform this decision.

This decision can be pushed out to .6

The decision has been made to use dc:abstract. Certain values should be shortened by using an ellipsis. (after 255)
