objectSplitter - how to map relationships to defined entities or lots?

denbell

When creating a mapping and using the object splitter, is there a way in the JSON code to also map that new object being split to an already defined collection or entity, for example? How would I write that?

Here is a simplified version of my objectSplitter JSON, trying to create a further relationship to the new object's entity, collection, and lot. I'm just not sure what the element would be .....

{
"relationshipType": "part_of",
"objectType": "transparency",
"attributes": {
"idno": "^42",
"description": "^6",
"still_format": "^8",
"stillImage": "neg_type1",
"entity_id": "^34",
"ca_collections.preferred_labels": "^20",
"lot_id": "^21",
"archivist": {
"archivist_name": "^22",
"archivist_workflow_stage": "^23",
"workflow_date": "^24"
}
}
}

Currently we only support that type of relationship creation from within a splitter for entities within the entitySplitter (see relatedEntities here: http://wiki.collectiveaccess.org/wiki/Data_Importer#entitySplitter)

We need to add support for others.  Could you add a JIRA ticket for this request? (http://clangers.collectiveaccess.org/jira)

Thanks, I will do that.  I think it would be very useful in an objectSplitter to map out relatedObjectLots, relatedCollections, relatedStorageLocations all at once for new objects.

I've ticketed this on JIRA as PROV-759

Thanks!  We'll try to get to this soon.
