Search/Get Authority records for the Authority app (UXPROD-2942)

  • TO support the Authority app, we need a way to Search and Retrieve MARC Authority records 
  • Need to consider with our search implementation > browse.  
  • User expectations for searching: when searching just for authority records, I need to be able to search the following MARC Authority Format fields: 100 Personal name, 110 Corporate name, 111 Conference name, 130 Uniform or series title, 150 Subject, 151 Geographic place, 155 Genre. I also need to retrieve authority records based on the cross-references, i.e. the 4XX  and 5XX versions of all these fields. It is also useful to be able to search on the LCCN (Library of Congress Control number, field 010) and a system identifier, if possible.

NFRs

These results need to return via the UI. 

#of results returnedtime to retrieve all results AND display results*
1 million3 seconds
1 - 3 million 5 seconds
3 - 5 million8 seconds
5 - 10 million10 seconds 
10 - 15 million12 seconds

*Assumption: We can retrieve within these times BUT display will be supported with pagination meaning we will retrieve AND be able to get enough Authority records for UI display

See first tab for number of Authority records has per library:  https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/10GiFrfZee8aY8PcE0JJxf-lWtMkddFWnOYo_tiKYXrs/edit#gid=1474082758

Additional NFRs

  • Results should be paginated
  • Offset and limit parameters will determine pagination
  • Results should contain a JSON response with keys: records (array of associated instance UUIDS), recordCount (integer)
  • A search with no results should have an empty records array and count of 0

General Functional Requirements

  • Using Elastic Search will support: Exact phrase, Boolean, Truncation, Wildcard (TBD)
