MANDATORY VIEWS

ORGANISATION_DATA

This view is used to list all the organisations you want to synchronise into Pure. This means that one row should exist in this view pr organisation you want to have in Pure. For each organisation you have to specify an ORGANISATION_ID which will be the primary key for this organisation in the rest of the views. This means that this ID has to be unique for each organisation and cannot change over time. In the rest of the views, the ORGANISATION_ID will be used to relate content when using in a one-to-many relation.

The rest of the view is used to specify the simple meta data on the organisation

(*) To handle multiple languages _EN or _XX must be added to the column name.

ORGANISATION_HIERARCHY

This view specifies the organisational hierarchy, i.e. relations between one organisational unit and its parent/child organisational unit. There can be multiple entries per organisational unit, i.e. an organisational unit can have multiple parents.

Use the hierarchy view to see the hierarchy:

Column name	Data type	Size	Mandatory	Note
PARENT_ORGANISATION_ID	String	1024	Yes	The ID for the parent organisation in the relationship
CHILD_ORGANISATION_ID	String	1024	Yes	The ID for the child organisation in the relationship. 'Root' organisations for example University should never appear as child organisation.

ORGANISATION_KEYWORDS

This view contains the information about an organisation keywords. There is three different types of keywords you can synchronise.

Structured keywords only. Here you must specify the LOGICAL_NAME and TYPE column to identify what keyword you want to add.
Structured keywords and free keywords. Here you must specify LOGICAL_NAME, TYPE, and FREE_KEYWORD. Note the keyword group with the LOGICAL_NAME must support free keywords.
Free keywords only. Here you must specify LOGICAL_NAME and FREE_KEYWORD. Note the keyword group with the LOGICAL_NAME must support free keywords without structured keywords.

Column name	Data type	Size	Mandatory	Note
ORGANISATION_ID	String	1024	Yes	The ID for the organisation to add this keyword. The ORGANISATION_ID must exist in the ORGANISATION_DATA view above.
LOGICAL_NAME	String	1024	Yes	The logical name of the keyword group configuration in Pure, e.g. 'keywordContainers' NOTE there must exists a keyword group for Organisation which has the specified logical name
TYPE	Classification	255	no	The type of structured keyword to add. Note you must provide the last part of the uri (key) of the classification you want to use. Note the allowed types depends on what classifications are in the keyword group with the provided logical name. I.e. if the classification scheme is Keywords (/dk/atira/pure/core/keywords) then a valid type value is 'A/AC' which will result in the keyword 'AC Collections. Series. Collected works'
FREE_KEYWORD	String(*)	1024	no	The free keyword to add. If no locale is specified in the column name, the keyword is added to all supported locales. If locales are provided, all supported locales must be specified To provide a locale you need to suffix the language to the column name and create a column for each supported locale. In the case of French and English this would result in the following columns: FREE_KEYWORD_EN FREE_KEYWORD_FR If locales are specified FREE_KEYWORD must not be present in your view without a locale suffix. The language should be appended in ISO 639-1 (two-letter codes)

(*) To handle multiple languages _EN or _XX must be added to the column name.

select distinct ORGANISATION_ID from ORGANISATION_KEYWORDS ok where not exists (select * from ORGANISATION_DATA o where ok.ORGANISATION_ID = o.ORGANISATION_ID)	Check for reference to non existing organisations

ORGANISATION_IDS

An organisation can be known by multiple ID's in different systems. For each organisation you have to supply an ORGANISATION_ID which will be this organisations primary ID. Besides this you have the possibility to add any other ID's you would like to have stored against the organisation.

Which other ID's you can add to an organisation is controlled via a classification scheme, so you can tailor this to your specific needs.

Since you can have multiple ID's against an organisation, you have to supply these additional ones in a separate view. In this you relate the ORGANISATION_ID, ID classification scheme value URI and the actual ID.

If you do not want to synchronised more ID's than the ORGANISATION_ID you should not implement this view.

Column name	Data type	Size	Mandatory	Note
ORGANISATION_ID	String	1024	Yes	The organisation to add the ID to
ID_SOURCE	Classification value (view/edit classification configuration)	1024	Yes	The source where this ID is related to. Provide the last part of the uri (key) of the classification.

LINK_ID	String	1024	Yes	The ID of the link added, if links is not available in your source system, use row index
LINK_URL	String	1024	Yes	The Uniform Resource Locator (URL)
LINK_TYPE	Classification	255	No	The type of URL provided, this is an optional structured classifier. You must provide the last part of the URI (the classification key) of the classification you want to use. This classification has to exists in the list of possible link types for awards in Pure
LINK_DESCRIPTION	String(*)	1024	No_	A description for the link. Descriptions has to be added for all supported submission locales in your Pure system. Translations are provided in columns suffixed with language abbreviations. In case of of French and English this would result in the following columns: LINK_DESCRIPTION_EN LINK_DESCRIPTION_FR If locales are specified LINK_DESCRIPTION must not be present in your view without a language suffix. The language abbreviation should be appended as ISO 639-1 (two-letter codes)
