Metadata Descriptors Management

Descriptors are the fields that could be associated with records. These descriptors are grouped into metadata schemas (as a way of organizing and managing them).

Each record is associated with a metadata schema when it is created, defining the set of fields that are available to it. Descriptors are an important part of the preservation, since data from the records can be stored in a simple way, then filter and display them in the interface.

Basic aspects to take into account:

  1. What type of records will be associated with this descriptor.

  2. To which metadata schema this descriptor will belong.

  3. What type of data will be stored in it.

  4. If it belongs to a parent descriptor.

Main View of Descriptors

This view shows all the descriptors that are available in the system.

Actions at the top:

Metadata Descriptor: Add a new descriptor metadata to the descriptor list. (See Add a new Metadata Descriptor)

Filters:

  • Metadata Schema: Only shows descriptors that belong to the selected schema.

  • Metadata Type: Only shows descriptors where the type is the same as the selected one.

  • Metadata Data Type: Only shows descriptors where the data type is the same as the selected one.

Descriptors list:

  • Name: Descriptor Name

  • Schema: Schema to which the descriptor belongs (See 3.8.1.2)

  • Description: Descriptor description (In case of having one)

  • IECode: Unique electronic identifier.

  • Metadata Type: The type of metadata that the descriptor handles.

  • Data Type: Type of data of the values (STRING, DATE, TIME, DATETIME, NUMBER, MARKDOWN).

  • Actions: It is possible to modify the descriptor and delete it (the descriptor must not have values).
