ADOs : Archipelago Digital Objects and Collections

Abbreviation of Archipelago Digital Object. Can be used to refer to ADO Collections/Compounds/Creative Work Series Parents as well.

Essentially, any Content type that uses a 'Strawberryfield' (see reference below) is an ADO.

ADO to View Mode Mapping

This refers to the 'ADO to View Mode Mapping' form found at /admin/config/archipelago/viewmode_mapping. This form is used to determine the 'Display Mode' used for an ADO based on the object's type.

See also the 'Display Mode' and type references below.

AMI: Archipelago Multi Importer

Archipelago's Module for module for batch/bulk/mass ingests of Archipelago digital objects (ADOs) and collections. AMI also enables you to perform batch administrative actions, such as updating, patching/revising, or deleting digital objects and collections.

Related documentation: Archipelago Multi-Importer (AMI).

AMI Sets

This refers to the special AMI custom entities that hold an Ingest or Update Strategy, a source data CSV with data/metadata, and possibly a CSV for Processed Data coming from Archipelago's Linked Data Reconciliation.

Related documentation: Archipelago Multi-Importer (AMI) - AMI Set Entity.

AMI Reports / Reports Tab

The AMI Reports tab contains information related to the last Processing operation performed for an AMI Set.

Related documentation: Step 10: Review your newly created Digital Objects directly or via AMI Set Report.

AMI Update

AMI's Update Operations can be used to Update, Replace, or Append metadata values or files for existing Digital Objects and Collections found in your Archipelago. You can prepare and use AMI Update Sets in different ways using one of three functional operations, depending on your update needs.

Related documentation: AMI Update Sets.

ap:entitymapping (JSON key)

This key is used to provide structural mapping hints for Archipelago, such as whether an ADO uses images or ispartof.

Related documentation: Metadata in Archipelago - The ap:entitymapping key

as:{as_file_type} (JSON key)

This key is used to provide filetype mapping information for Archipelago, and will be automatically generated depending on the type of file(s) associated with an ADO.

Related documentation: Metadata in Archipelago - The as:{as_file_type} key

Compound Object

See 'Digital Object Collection / Compound Object / Creative Work Series' below.

Creative Work Series

See 'Digital Object Collection / Compound Object / Creative Work Series' below.

Data Transformation Selections

The data transformation approach used in an AMI Set that determines how your source data will be transformed into ADOs upon AMI Set Processing.

Related documentation: Step 3. Data Transformation Selections.

Digital Object

This is the Drupal Content Type that refers to Digital Objects in Archipelago.

This is the Content Type used for standalone/non-hierarchically structured or Child Objects in Parent-Child Relationships.

For most Archipelago repositories, this is the most common Drupal Content Type used.

More context can be found here: Metadata in Archipelago - Drupal and JSON

Digital Object Collection / Compound Object / Creative Work Series

This is the Drupal Content Type that refers to Digital Object Collections or Parent Compound Objects / Creative Work Series in Archipelago.

This is Content Type used for Parent Objects in Parent-Child Relationships (such as Book to Page, where Book = Parent and Page = Child).

More context can be found here: Metadata in Archipelago - Drupal and JSON

Display Mode / View Mode

A Display Mode is a configureable page layout, using Formatters and other options, for the general display of an ADO in Archipelago. You can define Display Modes for different types of Digital Objects and Collections.

Display Mode and View Mode can be used interchangeably.

Related documentation: Primer on Display Modes.

Find and Replace

Archipelago's Advanced Batch Find and Replace functionality provides different ways for you to efficiently Find/Search and Replace metadata values found in the raw JSON of your Digital Objects and Collections.

Related documentation: Advanced Batch Find and Replace

Formatters / Strawberryfield Formatters

See 'Strawberryfield Formatters' below.

Fragaria Redirects

Archipelago's Fragaria Redirect Module is a special module that provides dynamic redirect routes matched against existing Search API field values.

Related documentation: Fragaria Redirects Module.

ismemberof (JSON key)

This key, in default Archipelago configurations, is used for Collection Membership.

This key can contain multiple values if appropriate for your repository's Collections structure.

For ingested ADOs, this key will contain 'Drupal Node id' integers for corresponding Collection(s).

In AMI sets, this key can contain integers to connect to an object's corresponding row in the same spreadsheet/CSV, or a UUID for an already ingested Collection object.

This key should never contain string values for Collection labels/titles.

See also ap:entitymapping key above.

ispartof (JSON key)

This key, in default Archipelago configurations, is used for Parent-Child Object Relationships (so a Child ADO would reference the Parent ADO in ispartof).

This key should contain single values only, due to the nature of the Parent-Child Object Relationship.

For ingested ADOs, this key will contain 'Drupal Node id' integers for a corresponding Parent Object.

In AMI sets, this key can contain integers to connect to an object's corresponding row in the same spreadsheet/CSV, or a UUID for an already ingested Parent object.

This key should never contain string values for Parent Object labels/titles.

See also ap:entitymapping key above.

label (JSON key)

This key is used for the title of the Digital Object or Collection. This key is required for all ADOs.

Related documentation: Metadata in Archipelago - The label key

Linked Data Reconciliation / LoD Reconciliation

AMI's (Archipelago Multi Importer's) Linked Data Reconciliation tool can be used to enrich your metadata with Linked Data (LoD). Using this tool, you can map values from your topical/subject metadata elements to your preferred LoD vocabulary source. These mappings can then be transformed via a corresponding Metadata Display (Twig) template to process the values into JSON-formatted metadata for your specified AMI set.

Related documentation: Linked Data Reconciliation.

Metadata API Module

Archipelago's Metadata API Module is a special Strawberryfield Formatter Module that implements Metadata API Endpoints and uses Views and Metadata Display Entities as a configuration option to provide dynamic APIs based on Metadata present in each Archipelago Digital Object (or Node) that contains a Strawberryfield type of field (JSON).

Related documentation: Metadata API Module

Metadata Display Entities / Twig Templates

Metadata Display Entities are particular Twig Templates used in Archipelago to transform or 'cast' JSON metadata/data into different displays and outputs.

Related documentation: Twig Templates and Archipelago

Metadata Display Preview

Archipelago's Metadata Display Preview is a very handy tool for your repository toolkit that enables you to preview the output of your Metadata Display (Twig) Templates (found at /metadatadisplay/list).

Related documentation: Metadata Display Preview

Metadata Display Usage
