MITQDCtoCTConversion

MITQDCtoCTConversion

MITQDCtoCTConversion is to convert the harvested MIT DSpace records on September of 2015 into the developed Common Terminology (CT).

MIT library cooperated in providing metadata records and provided the way we harvested their 358017 DSpace QDC records via OAI-PMH. We harvested again DSpace QDC records in xml form on September of 2015. The element/term usage of their records is analyzed on January of 2016 and CT SKOS crosswalk is developed based on the analyzed usage on March of 2016. And August of 2016, MITQDCtoCTConversion is developed. This version may be modified by feedback and/or comments of metadata experts of MIT library.

MITQDCtoCTConversion Conversion Rates

The measured total Match rates of 358017 records  in the folder, C:\Python27\metadata\MIT are the below:
The number of total Statement= 7343157
Converted rate= 100.0
exactMatch rate= 89.4742955925
narrowMatch rate= 10.5257044075
broadMatch rate= 0.0
noConverted rate= 0.0
Not converted Element Names are  {}

Findings

  • Few records have no url identifiers that makes access available online. Thus, MITQDCtoCTConversion program generates url identifier for these records with header:identifier starting with ‘oai:dspace.mit.edu’.
  • The deleted records stated in header are not converted.
