Discrepancy in publisher element between iso2geoBL.xsl and GBL Metadata schema

Open karenmajewicz opened this issue 8 years ago • 2 comments

The iso2geoBL.xsl transforms the publisher field to the multi-valued element dc_publisher_sm.

However, the official GBL Metadata Schema indicates the singular dc_publisher_s.

Since the Big Ten project uses both the XSLT with GIS records, and NYU's plugin for Omeka with maps, we discovered that we had a mix of dc_publisher_s and dc_publisher_sm in our Solr. We would prefer to use dc_publisher_sm. Any reason why we wouldn't want to enable having multiple publishers?

We're not using iso2geoBL.xsl in our production environment (we go from ISO to MODS to GeoBlacklight) so our instance uses dc_publisher_s. I don't see a reason, however, that you couldn't use multiple publishers. You just need to change the view logic in GeoBlacklight (likely just in catalog_controller.rb). BTW, our MODS to GeoBlacklight XSLT is here -- https://github.com/sul-dlss/gis-robot-suite/blob/master/lib/xslt/mods2geoblacklight.xsl

@kimdurante may have additional insights?

This is multi-valued in Aardvark, so #156 would effectively resolve it.
