The following fields are found in the Advanced Search helper.
Resource Types are defined in the Hyperion Resource Type Attribute policies. Defined Resource Types display when resources are added or modified. The Resource Type Attribute policies also control whether a particular type can be a child or parent of another.
The Resource Type identifies and describes an element in the directory tree. Each element may represent an actual digital resource, or the organizational element that is used to categorize a group of related works. Resource Types may be subdivided, using parent and child concepts, to create a hierarchy in the directory tree.
Example In the following example, COLLECTION, ABSTRACT, SUBJECT, PRESS, and DOCUMENT are Resource Types.
COLLECTION: U.S. Space & Rocket Center
ABSTRACT: Welcome to the Press Room
SUBJECT: U.S. Space & Rocket Center Press Releases
ABSTRACT: Welcome to the Press Room
PRESS: U.S. Space & Rocket Center Background Story
PRESS: U.S. Space & Rocket Center Exhibits and Attractions
PRESS: U.S. Space & Rocket Center Offers Complete Space Experience
SUBJECT: U.S. Space & Rocket Center Brochures
DOCUMENT: U.S. Space & Rocket Center, Huntsville, AL, Brochure
In this example, COLLECTION, SUBJECT, PRESS, and DOCUMENT are content Resource Types. SUBJECT is a child of COLLECTION, and PRESS AND DOCUMENT are both children of SUBJECT. However, PRESS and DOCUMENT do not have children, because they are actual objects in the directory tree. Child level Resource Types are defined as valid in the Resource Type Attribute policy.
ABSTRACT is defined as a Parent Characteristics type, which, ironically, cannot have any children. Instead, the ABSTRACT Resource Type is used to define the characteristics of the group to which it is a child. It defines the entire group.
TRASHSITE and TRASHBIN are used to retain elements that have been removed from the active metadata. These Resource Types cannot be displayed in the e-Library.
ARCHIVE, TRASHSITE, and TRASHBIN cannot be removed.
Note: Refer to Resource Attribute Policy and Understanding the Structure of Hyperion for more information.
Field to Search
Field to Search enables you to search for a particular attribute, or resource information field name defined in the searched resource’s metadata. Some field names are the same as those available from the simple search: All, Name, Description, and Resource ID. The additional attributes that display are dependent on the Hyperion purpose format, such as DUBLIN or HYPERX.
Search Term
Search Term finds resources that have metadata that includes the text typed in the field specified, or ALL fields. The search term is not case sensitive, but partial words are not searched. For instance, you can search HTM or htm in ALL fields, and Resource IDs with file extensions .htm will be found, but Descriptions containing the text HTML will not be found.
Operator
You can select the standard Boolean operators AND, NOT, and OR to associate subsequent field searches.
