Fetcher manipulator: CdmCompound

Mark Jordan edited this page Nov 14, 2016 · 1 revision

Overview

Fetcher manipulator to include only CONTENTdm objects in a fetch that have a specific compound document type value.

Toolchains

Can be used with CONTENTdm toolchains.

Configuration

To register this manipulator in your toolchain, add the following line to the "[MANIPULATORS]" section of your .ini file, for example:

fetchermanipulators[] = "CdmCompound|Document"

Parameters

This manipulator takes on parameter, which must be one of the following values:

  • Document
  • Document-PDF
  • Monograph
  • Document-EAD
  • Postcard
  • Picture Cube

Functionality

This manipulator add specificity to the Cdm fetcher, when used in conjunction with the CdmCompound file getter and writer, so that the fetch only includes objects that have the configured document type in the internal CONTENTdm structure file. This data is stored in the object's .cpd file's <type> element and is completely separate from any value in user-created descriptive metadata.

Note that currently, MIK only has toolchains for compound objects that are of Document, Document-PDF, and Monograph types; there are no toolchains for objects of type Document-EAD, Postcard, or Picture Cube.
