Update Format/Medium/Extent Guidelines #33

Closed amgaynor closed 7 years ago

amgaynor commented 7 years ago

In our last meeting we were trying to determine how best to map Genre, Physical Description and Extent. I've created a sheet in the DMWG that contains those fields for all objects in the digital library.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/18FbGH7jZMjF84_KGYU0e9JT3-Q4AraNPWLTtRy_js4M/edit#gid=904342543

I've included notes some of the column headers.

My thoughts right now would be to keep genre as it is, have our physical description map to DPLA format capturing the medium of the item, and then move number of pages and/or dimensions to extent.

When migrating PhysDesc to Format, we could remove data that doesn't add add'l description, e.g. for letter, we do not need to include "document", and we could add number of pages to extent.

That mapping works for me @amgaynor Genre = Genre (Cedar AAT vocabulary) PhysDesc = Format (medium of item) PhysDesc/OrigItemExtent = Extent (quantity)

@amgaynor New mappings and input rules based on decisions made in the 2017-02-16 DMWG meeting:

amgaynor commented 7 years ago

We need to confirm the accepted input standards for extent:

Examples: 23 pages 24 x 19.5 cm 02:23:00 2.18 MB 5 x 7 in (vs. 5" x 7" or 5 x 7 inches)

We'll need to revisit values for Genre once DPLA publishes list of 30-50 terms they'll be using.
