Project Description
@Mire has prototyped a Solr driven Authority Control capable of caching and mixing together authority sources so that they can utilized for super fast term completion and lookup. Solr is quite effective for quickly retrieving lists of values that a field should be restricted to. Likewise, when the original DSpace metadata is indexed into the Solr based authority control, the Submitter is also presented with an ad-hoc authority of existing values already contained within the repository. However, it is recognized that Authority Controls Sources are not just lists and have structural components as well. SKOS applies quite well to expressing the structured relationships between taxonomies and hierarchical vocabularies that are often relied on for Authority Control. Recent research in publishing Library of Congress Subject Authorities, Getty TGN Vocabularies etcetera confirms that SKOS is the predominant form to capture these resources for placement on the web.
