Check and Create Mappings for a Search Space
Check and Create Mappings for a Search Space
This section contains a guide on how to add mappings to your Search Space. Mappings can be used to further define data connections, for images you want to display for example.
Once you have created a Search Space, you can add a number of mappings for facets that will be used to collect and display data in the interface as well as search result items lists.
The fields in your data that represent SKOS definitions, such as 'title' or 'description' will be displayed as part of the search results list.
Mappings are based on the Search Facet Model you selected for your Search Space . In order to be able to display the below listed mappings properly, decide beforehand which data type should be used where.
The following mapping types are available, depending on the Search Facet Models you selected.
Note
The types that are marked with an asterisk here will be filled with the most common values from your data.
Title*: use a predicate of your data (thesaurus, custom scheme) that lends itself well to be displayed as title of a search result item.
Description*: will be part of the details in the search result items, a descriptive (short) text.
Facet*: will be used to filter results further. Based by default on the relations of the custom scheme you selected for the Search Space.
Image: images you want to be displayed as part of the search result items display in Grid View and the Details Dialogue.
Full Text Search : used as basis for the full text search over your data. This works without adding mappings manually. You can restrict its usage though, by adding mappings of your own. This can be useful to improve performance.
Mapping Locations in the Search Results Pane
The mappings you select will show up as in this example:
The list view in the Search Results Pane shows the mapping for Title (1) and Description (2), respectively.
The Facets Pane will display the Facet you map for the application (3).
If you select the Grid view, Image mappings show up like this (5).
If you open the Details Dialogue of a Search Result Item, the Description and Image mappings again will be displayed (4).
Full Text Search will be used as basis for the search field at the top (6).
