Indexing

Current

titleInfo is a repeatable element and the indexing will vary depending upon the attribute type

Fields Created

  • mods_title_alt - a multivalued, indexed field all title sub-elements of the set of titleInfo which have the attribute @type="alternative"

  • other_title - a multivalued, indexed field all title sub-elements of the set of titleInfo which have the attribute @type!="alternative" which are not the first element

  • primary_title - a single valued, sortable indexed field title sub-element of the the first titleInfo in the set of titleInfo which have the attribute @type!="alternative"

  • subtitle - a single valued, sortable indexed field subtitle sub-element of the the first titleInfo in the set of titleInfo which have the attribute @type!="alternative"

  • partnumber - a single valued, sortable indexed field partnumber sub-element of the the first titleInfo in the set of titleInfo which have the attribute @type!="alternative"

  • partname - a single valued, sortable indexed field partname sub-element of the the first titleInfo in the set of titleInfo which have the attribute @type!="alternative"

  • nonsort - a single valued, field nonsort sub-element of the the first titleInfo in the set of titleInfo which have the attribute @type!="alternative"

Notes for future

  • Only the "primary" title has it's non title subelements indexed. This should change
  • More types are vailable than type="alternative". Such as abbreviated, translated, and uniform
  • A composit title or mods_title_full could be created wich is an intelligent concatination of the sub-elements in a given titleInfo element. It may be useful to sort on this.
  • The attribute "@displayLabel" should be respected and incorporated if present
  • If @type="translated" then the @language attribute would be important

Display

Current

Usually only the elements associated with the primary_title are displayed they are a concatination of 

[nonsort] primary_title[: subtitle] [partname] [partnumber]
