[Archivesspace_Users_Group] UPDATE: classification issue

[Prom, Christopher John]

I don't think it will be possible to do your number 1 below and possibly also number 2 would be risky.

The underlying issue here is that the classifications are not scoped to a repository in Archon—there is one classification hierarchy that is shared, whereas in aspace the model is that each repo has its own classification system.

The only way to scope it would be to check empty for a particular classification post migration, then delete them, and we saw that as a risky assumption when designing the migration tools.

When I previously mentioned that only 5 classifications appear in the ASpace classification admin menu instead of the 30 I expected, unfortunately the Manuscripts classification that migrated is one of the empty or “bad” classifications.  See screen shot.  You should see a list of records instead of “no records found” if this was the Manuscripts classification

In other words, the public interface shows 5 manuscript classifications, one of which actually has collections attached to it.  The ASpace admin interface shows only 5 classifications, and the Manuscript classification that happens to be there is one of the empty Manuscript classifications.  In fact, the same goes for our Political Papers and Photographs classifications, and Rare Books classifications.  Only University Archives migrated the correct classification to the ASpace admin classification interface.

Is it possible to rework the migration to: 1) not duplicate classifications per repository, and 2) ensure that the classifications with attached collections are the ones that appear in the ASpace classification administrative menu?

I’ve typed classification too much.
