Hierarchy and CSV import

First post here.
I have Omeka S v4.2.0 with the hierarchy and CSV import modules installed.

Import works well including putting multiple entries into fields such as subject. I have a hierarchy set up and I am trying to get the import to assign new items to one or more entries in the hierarchy.

I can’t get it to work. I have read that as part if should be used but that doesn’t seem to work.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Many thank
Dave

Hi Dave,

The Hierarchy module works by assigning item sets to each grouping nested within the hierarchy structure. So first you would want to create an item set for each hierarchy level (either manually or with CSV Import), then assign them to their proper grouping within the hierarchy from the Hierarchy module page.

After this, you should be able to use CSV Import to import items and, using the ‘item-specific data’ item set mapping under the CSV Import mapping options, assign each to the relevant item set that corresponds with where you want the item to go within your hierarchy. Would this accomplish what you are looking for?

FWIW The dcterms:hasPart linkage functionality belongs to Item Set Party, a similar but separate module from the officially supported Hierarchy module.
