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 field | Description |
|---|---|
| PID | Searches the PIDs linked to Record Resources or Instantiations |
| Parent PID | Looks for child resources to the Record Resource with the given PID |
| Title | Searches 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 formats | Select one or more PUIDs to display only Instantiations with a respective file format. |
| Resource types | Select the type of Record Resource (Root folder, Root file, Folder, File) |
| Submission agreements | Search for Record Resources that are linked to the selected Submission Agreement(s) |
| Prefixes | Search only Record Resources within a given Fedora 6 prefix (top-level URI component) |
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 column | Description |
|---|---|
| PID | PID of the Record Resource to which the Instantiation is linked |
| Parent PID | PID 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. |
| Title | unittitle of the Record Resource to which the Instantiation is linked |
| PID Instantiation | PID of the Instantiation. This field is only filled out in case of Record Resources which are linked to multiple instantiations (for example through a file format migration during ingest). |
| PUID | Pronom Unique Identifier of the binary linked to the Instantiation |
| Resource type | Type of the Record Resource (Root folder, Root file, Folder, File) |
| Creation date | Date 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, PID and Title fields.
