In a preliminary import for OCHRE, titles and alternative titles have been joined together into a single string, separated by a semicolon- for example, see the following title for series b2d519h2x75d:
Jacaltec texts, recorded on aluminum discs (and tapes) (Andrade, c. 1935); Q'anjob'al texts; Textos Kanjobales, recorded on aluminum discs (and tapes) (Andrade, c. 1935)
However, please note that in our initial EDM triples, these appear as three separate dc:title elements.
<b2d519h2x75d> dc:title "Jacaltec texts, recorded on aluminum discs (and tapes) (Andrade, c. 1935)" .
<b2d519h2x75d> dc:title "Q'anjob'al texts" .
<b2d519h2x75d> dc:title "Textos Kanjobales, recorded on aluminum discs (and tapes) (Andrade, c. 1935)" .
Rather than joining multiple titles into a single string, is it possible for items in OCHRE to have multiple title elements? If semicolons are being used here to delimit multiple values, and semicolons that appear within the data itself are to be escaped, it may be ok to encode the data in this way- but please note that I have run into trouble using this kind of encoding and I try to avoid it when I can.
Expected behavior
At this time, items and series should be able to have multiple titles and alternative titles.
Describe the issue
This issue applies to titles and alternative titles on both series and item records in the system. See this series record for an example.
