Field-specific mapping recommendations [Tiers 2-3]

Photographer

When published to JSTOR, information mapped to the Contributor field will appear in an item's metadata, but also in the item's tombstone metadata in search results.

While there is a Photographer attribute available for the Contributor field, in cases where the photographer is not the creator of the depicted work and/or there is no known creator, you may wish to map your project's photographer field to a custom field instead. This will prevent the photographer from headlining as the creator of the work in search results.

See Mapping fields to publishing targets for more information on custom fields and instructions for mapping project fields to your publishing target.

Earliest/Latest Date(s)

If your project contains Earliest Date and Latest Date metadata, you'll need to map these project fields in your JSTOR target in order for that metadata to work with JSTOR's searching, sorting, and filtering functionality.

To map your Earliest/Latest project fields:

1. In your Project Settings, switch to the Targets tab, select your JSTOR target, and then select Map Project Fields.
2. Find the Dates target field in the mapping list and use the drop-down to select your "Earliest Date" field. In the Attribute drop-down, select "earliest_date".
3. Select +map another field to dates and repeat the previous step to select your "Latest Date" field to Dates. In the Attribute drop-down, select "latest_date".
4. Select Save to save your mapping changes.

Named Entities

JSTOR Seeklight generates a list of named entities based on the available information in your uploaded media. This can include names of people, organizations, and places.

How to map this field to JSTOR will depend on the type of collection you are working with, or how you would like the metadata to be displayed to users on JSTOR. See JSTOR fields and attributesfor a full list of available mapping options. Some suggested mapping options are listed below to help you get started.

Subject

If the named entities reflect what your content is about, you may choose to map Named Entities to the Subject field. On JSTOR, the terms under Subjects are clickable links to a fielded search for other items with the same subject listed.

Contributor

If the named entities represent the creator or contributor of your content, you may choose to map Named Entities to the Contributor field and assign the desired attribute. When published to JSTOR, information mapped to the Contributor field will appear in an item's metadata, but also in the item's tombstone metadata in search results.

If you have multiple fields mapped to Contributor with different attributes assigned, the metadata will appear separated by attribute on the item page, but all Contributor information will appear in the search results.

Custom Field

If you would like to present the Named Entities metadata as its own field, you can map Named Entities to a custom field. Custom fields are searchable and the display label when published to JSTOR will use the field's label in JSTOR Stewardship.

Keywords

The Keywords field metadata generated by JSTOR Seeklight reflects the main subject(s) of the work, including people, places, objects, events, concepts, and classifications such as genre.

You may choose to map the Keywords field to the Subjects field if you would like the keywords to be clickable search links from the item page. 

Alternatively, you can map the Keywords field to a custom field. The custom field will be searchable, but will not be clickable directly from the item page.

See Mapping fields to publishing targets for more information on custom fields and instructions for mapping project fields to your publishing target.
