Simple search

The "Simple search" covers the use cases where you just want to quickly verify or get an overview of resources in the repository. It complements the more technical SPARQL search interface.

Specify search and result handling

The simple search form supports searching in the principal fields like label, PIDs, file formats, creation date etc. Certain fields offer a selection of existing values. The results are sortable by column.

The following fields can be searched:

Form fieldDescription
PIDSearches the PIDs linked to Record Resources or Instantiations
Parent PIDLooks for child resources to the Record Resource with the given PID
TitleSearches the unittitle of Record Resources
Created after
Created before
Searches the creation date of Record Resources or Instantiations, i.e. the date when the item was ingested into Fedora 6
File formatsSelect one or more PUIDs to display only Instantiations with a respective file format.
Resource typesSelect the type of Record Resource
Submission agreementsSearch for Record Resources that are linked to the selected Submission Agreement(s)
PrefixesSearch only Record Resources within a given Fedora 6 prefix (top-level URI component)

When filtering for Resource types, the following types are available:

  • Root File: Record Resource for a file which was ingested in a package consisting of a single file
  • Root Folder: Record Resource for the root folder of a package consisting of multiple files and folders
  • Folder: Record Resource for a non-root folder residing in a package consisting of multiple files and folders
  • File: Record Resource for a file residing in a package consisting of multiple files and folders

index

The search results will display a list of Record Resources/Instantiations. An empty search form will list all instantiations present in box as the result. The following fields are displayed in the results table:

Result columnDescription
Parent PIDPID of the parent of the Record Resource to which the Instantiation is linked. If empty, the Record Resource is a Root Folder or Root File.
PIDPID of the Instantiation, which is linked to a Record Resource
Titleunittitle of the Record Resource to which the Instantiation is linked
PUIDPronom Unique Identifier of the binary linked to the Instantiation
Resource typeType of the Record Resource
Creation dateDate when the Fedora resource was created, i.e. when the data was ingested into Fedora 6.

Multiple Instantiations linked to the same Record Resources are displayed with individual rows for each Instantiation, showing the same value for the Parent PID and Title fields.

By clicking on Show or Edit you can open the detail view of the selected PID in order to view additional metadata, edit metadata or download DIPs and metadata.
