Handle multiple dc:rights fields (OAIRepository)
Closed this issue · 3 comments
FRDR now splits rights metadata into dc.rights and dc.rights.uri, for example: https://www.frdr-dfdr.ca/oai/request?verb=ListRecords&metadataPrefix=oai_dc
We could attempt to combine these instead of having separate rights entries.
I've seen repositories that have multiple different XML siblings for "rights" in their OAI and while some are always free text and some are always URIs, they aren't distinguished in the data model -- that seems worse to me, so I'd like to double-check what we're trying to achieve here. I think I'm just concatenating them for the harvester in some cases, and even then having the freedom to do that feels better.
That's a good point--I'm not sure how we should decide whether to concatenate or leave them as separate fields. I'll look at what we have in place currently.
Leave separate; closing.
