Hi all,
i’m working on OAI-PMH file generated by OMP.
In the “dc:identifier” the ISBN is missing but I can see just the label.

This is a screenshot from the OAI url:

This is a screenshot from the OMP page:

How to change and have the ISBN number in the identifiers list?

Thanks

Hi @Alfredo_Cosco,

That’s already been fixed in the git repository; try applying this change.

In this way the result is:
<dc:identifier>978-88-6887-002-7</dc:identifier>

reading dc specs seems better to have something like this:
<dc:identifier>ISBN:978-88-6887-002-7</dc:identifier>

(see: http://dublincore.org/documents/usageguide/elements.shtml and )

I think that line 153 should be like:
$dc11Description->addStatement('dc:identifier', "ISBN:".$identificationCode->getValue());
don’t you?

Hi @Alfredo_Cosco,

We support all kinds of identifiers, not just ISBNs – that’ll cause OMP to report any ID as an ISBN.

Hi @asmecher,
I see, so i’m trying with something like:

$dc11Description->addStatement('dc:identifier', $identificationCode->getNameForONIXCode().":".$identificationCode->getValue());

perhaps with some changes ( like a trim() ) to $identificationCode->getNameForONIXCode()

The DC Usage Guide includes a “ISBN:” prefix in the section you mention, but does not in another section:
http://dublincore.org/documents/2001/04/12/usageguide/generic.shtml#identifier

I personally think the recommendations here of using URIs/URNs for the identifiers make a lot of sense:
http://www.ukoln.ac.uk/metadata/dcmi/identifiers/index.html

We might want a method which does a transformation of an identification code to a URI/URN, if possible.
