[Archivesspace_Users_Group] ArchivesSpace and OCLC Digital Gateway

[Kevin W. Schlottmann]

Dear Michelle,

I think you are looking for something along the lines of an automatically
generated URL being included in the export.  While this may not be exactly
that, I share our setup, because we also need URLs published via OAI.  For
legacy reasons Columbia has a wide range of URLs that lead to finding
aids.  We place these URLs into the EAD Location field of the resource
record. In the EAD export, I believe that value is written to the <eadid>
element, in the url attribute.

We needed the same thing for MARC, so our hosting provider Lyrasis has
created a custom mapping for our MARC records, which takes the EAD Location
and maps it to the MARC 856 field. (Code here:
https://github.com/lyrasis/columbia-marc-exporter/blob/master/backend/model/columbia-marc21-overrides.rb
)

Alternately, I note that in the OAI feed, the header tag includes an ASpace
identifier along these lines:

<identifier>oai:columbia//repositories/2/resource/672</identifier>

which could possibly be transformed into a usable URL.


Best,

Kevin
