[Ohiodig] OhioMemory / ContentDM Question

[Emily Rinaman]

Hydy,
Can you show examples? I clicked on your link and the public view of the subjects of your collection appears to be fine. We separate all of our subjects with semi-colons and for places attached to subject headings, here is an example of how we format them:

Public libraries -- Ohio<https://ohiomemory.org/digital/collection/p15005coll27/search/searchterm/Public%20libraries%20--%20Ohio/field/subjec/mode/exact/conn/and>
 Are you adding your subjects to your controlled vocabulary list? Then you can just copy and paste them from that box into your subject field box (and separate each with semi-colons)
I wonder if you just went in and wiped out what you have in the subject field and re-typed and re-indexed if it would do what you are wanting it to do ... ?

Subject: [Ohiodig] OhioMemory / ContentDM Question


Hi Friends,



So, I’ve gotten my first set of objects up in OhioMemory<https://ohiomemory.org/digital/collection/p16007coll130> and I’ve run into a metadata ?formatting? problem.



My subjects are all showing up together as one subject and I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong. I put commas between the different subjects initially (probably wrong). I tried changing to semicolons on one of the subjects, but now it just shows up in the subject facet list as a single subject with no punctuation (technical institutes college buildings) though in the objects, the semicolon appears. All on one line, with no linking in the object metadata to other subjects of the same name.



This latter and maybe also former seems to also be an issue with Place names, though I started with semicolon separation?



Any advice would be appreciated.
