<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Georgia",serif">Migrating from Archon to ASpace….<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Georgia",serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Georgia",serif">I’ve attached a handful of screenshots, too many probably, to ask a simple question about a discrepancy I see in the Aspace admin vs. public classification interface. Why in the
admin interface am I only seeing 5 classifications, while in the public interface I am seeing 30?
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Georgia",serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Georgia",serif">It is my understanding that ASpace will duplicate your Archon classification structure
<u>per repository</u>, which is why the public interface shows 30 results. In Archon we have 6 repositories, one of which is selected when creating an Archon finding aid under the “General” tab in Archon. We don’t use SIU Special Collections as a repository
because the decision was made years ago after an Archon upgrade to consider our collecting areas as repositories (MSS, Photos, etc.). So we get the 30 ASpace classifications by 6 Archon repositories x 5 Archon Classifications (MSS, UA, RB, Photos, PP). So
in the ASpace admin interface, should I see 30 instances of classification? The screenshot only shows the 5, which is correct. But I was planning on deleting the “bad” classifications in the ASPace admin interface, which I can’t do with confidence since
only 5 are there.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Georgia",serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Georgia",serif">It is a long story, but the Archon migration tool migrates collections associated with a classification to
<u>only one instance of that classification</u>. For example, only 1 of the 5 Manuscript classifications in ASpace actually has collections attached to it. All others have “no records” as shown in the screen shot. I can’t delete the “no records” aka “bad”
classifications from the ASpace admin interface because only 5 appear when I expected 30. We once tried deleted the bad classifications from the back end database and re-indexing the database, but it did not remove the links to the empty classifications.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
