Dynamic list vocabularies are a pseudo-authority and do not require a true extension since all we are interested in is adding new instances or editing existing ones.
Creating a new vocab instance is quite simple as it's merely adding a few values and options to domain-vocabularies.xml
. Pick a unique value for the instance id
; give it a web-url
, title-ref
and title
value; and which ever options you wish for the vocab to be seeded with.
Once created, refresh the app layer's conf files
collectionspace/tenant/mmi/init
The above step may be superfluous...
Then reinitialize all the vocabularies
collectionspace/tenant/mmi/authorities/vocab/initialize
Likewise, one could reinitialize just the newly added vocab as such
collectionspace/tenant/mmi/vocabularies/{web-url}/initialize
Sample vocab
Here is a sample vocab I created for a field, numberType
, found in a collectionobject
record for mmi
.
<instances> <instance id="vocab-numbertype"> <web-url>numbertype</web-url> <title-ref>numbertype</title-ref> <title>Number type</title> <options> <option id="boxnumber">Box Number</option> <option id="creatingacollection">Creating a collection</option> <option id="previousnumber">Previous number</option> <option id="serialnumber">Serial number</option> </options> </instance> </instances>
Please note the use of <instances>
tags around the example, which will envelope all instance id's. This will make sure that these instances will be parsed correctly when it is inserted into base-vocabularies.xml
