What to display for each object type...

Available To Display Info Where it comes from...
Collections
All Title Collection Aggregator -> Properties -> Title
Aggregators (non-Collection)
Admin Title Aggregator -> Datastreams -> Service Description -> DC:Title
Metadata Providers
Admin Title Choices:
  • Metadata Providers -> Datastreams -> Service Description -> DC:Title
  • Metadata Providers -> Properties -> nsdl:setname (matches ServiceDescription)
  • Metadata Providers -> Properties -> ncs:collectionName (does NOT match ServiceDescription)
Agents
Admin Title or Host Choices:
  • Agents -> Datastreams -> DC -> DC:Title (good for some apps)
  • Agents -> Properties -> nsdl:hasResourceHOST (best available for non-apps)
Metadata
All Title Choices:
  • Metadata Providers -> Datastreams -> Service Description -> DC:Title (best for collection metadata)
  • Metadata -> Datastreams -> format_nsdl_dc -> DC:Title (best for resource metadata)
  • what about unknown metadata datastream formats???
Resource
All URL Resource -> Properties -> hasResourceURL

NOTES:

  • Service Description is being retired, so probably not a good source for getting display info.
  • Is nsdl:setname reliable for metadata provider? What about non-OAI based metadata providers?
  • None of these are required, except the new Title for Collections, so this is all a bit dodgy.
