ArchivesSpace Request Fulfillment via Aeon

Version: 20230725

Last Updated: July 25, 2023

Overview

This plugin adds a new request button to archival objects that allows researchers to place Aeon requests for archival objects discovered via the ArchivesSpace Public User Interface.

The functionality provided by this plugin is meant to replace the existing Public UI request action functionality for archival objects. As such, it is recommended that the built in functionality be disabled by setting AppConfig[:pui_page_actions_request] = false or by removing :archival_object from your AppConfig[:pui_requests_permitted_for_types] setting. The latter will allow you to use Aeon to fulfill archival_object requests, while still allowing other object types to be requested via the default email functionality. By using the 'per repository' configuration options for the built in PUI requesting functionality, it is also possible to configure some repositories to continue using the built in PUI requesting feature for archival objects while allowing other repositories to use Aeon.

This plugin has been tested on ArchivesSpace version 3.3.1, and requires Aeon Server version 5.2.0 or greater. Future releases of ArchivesSpace may cause changes in the functionality of this plugin.

Requirements

Aeon Server 5.2.0 or greater
ArchivesSpace 3.3.1

Configuring Plugin Settings

Please note that the Aeon OpenURLMapping table must be configured in the Customization Manager before the plugin can be used and/or tested with ArchivesSpace. See the OpenURL Mappings section for more information.

If you are using the Atlas Dual Auth Portal to handle remote authentication in Aeon, please ensure that it is configured to support POST data handling. See the Aeon Remote Authentication Configurations section for more information.

In order to configure this plugin, you will need to modify the config/config.rb file of your ArchivesSpace installation. To enable the plugin,
you will need to reference it in the plugin configuration option in this file. Please note that after enabling the plugin in the config.rb file, the ArchivesSpace service will need to be restarted to push the plugin to the ArchivesSpace interface. In the following example, a reference to the 'aeon-fulfillment' plugin has been added to the list of enabled plugins after the reference to the default 'local' plugin:

AppConfig[:plugins] = ['local', 'aeon_fulfillment']

Next, you will need to add the appropriate settings and values for each repository that will use the plugin. These settings should be placed directly under the line of code listing your enabled plugins shown above. In the sample below, replace {repo_code} with the repository code for each repository. The repo_code is also known as the repository's short name. The repo_code must be written using lower-case. Please also ensure that the :aeon_return_link_label setting is included directly below the :aeon_web_url.

AppConfig[:aeon_fulfillment] = {}
AppConfig[:aeon_fulfillment]['{repo_code}'] = {}
AppConfig[:aeon_fulfillment]['{repo_code}'][:aeon_web_url] = "{Your aeon web url}"
AppConfig[:aeon_fulfillment]['{repo_code}'][:aeon_return_link_label] = "{The text for the return link from Aeon}"

For example, to configure the plugin for a repository that has the short name "ATLAS", add the following to config.rb. Note: The :aeon_site_code setting should be removed if you are not assigning multiple repositories to separate Aeon site codes

AppConfig[:aeon_fulfillment] = {}
AppConfig[:aeon_fulfillment]['atlas'] = {}
AppConfig[:aeon_fulfillment]['atlas'][:aeon_web_url] = "https://your.institution.edu/aeon/aeon.dll"
AppConfig[:aeon_fulfillment]['atlas'][:aeon_return_link_label] = "ArchivesSpace"
AppConfig[:aeon_fulfillment]['atlas'][:aeon_site_code] = "AEON"

If preferred, this plugin configuration can also be formatted using the implicit form of a Ruby hash, with settings for each repository grouped within curly braces and separated one per line. A comma should follow each individual line until the end of the block of settings for the repository is reached, and also after the closing curly brace for each repository until the last repository is reached:

AppConfig[:aeon_fulfillment] = {
    "atlas" => {
        :aeon_web_url => "https://your.institution.edu/aeon/aeon.dll",
        :aeon_return_link_label => "ArchivesSpace",
        :aeon_external_system_id => "ArchivesSpace"
    },
    "test-repo" => {
        :aeon_web_url => "https://your.institution.edu/aeon/aeon.dll",
        :aeon_return_link_label => "ArchivesSpace",
        :aeon_external_system_id => "ArchivesSpace Test Repo"
    }
}

Per Repository Configuration Options

`:aeon_web_url`

Required. This setting specifies the web url that points to an Aeon installation. The plugin will send requests to this url, after adding the external requests endpoint (?action=11&type=200) to the end. If you are using the Atlas Dual Auth Portal, this setting should point to that URL instead (https://dualauthurl.institution.edu/login/").

`:aeon_return_link_label`

Required. This setting specifies the text that will display on the button that takes users back to ArchivesSpace. Setting either AppConfig[:public_proxy_url] or AppConfig[:public_url] in config/config.rb will influence the link associated with this label. See the ReturnLinkURL field below.

`:aeon_external_system_id`

Required. This setting specifies the System ID, which is used by Aeon to determine which mapping rules to use from its OpenURLMapping table. Each repository configuration can have their own System ID or they can have a duplicate System ID.

`:requests_permitted_for_containers_only`

This settings specifies whether requests are limited to resources with top containers only. The default for this setting is false.

`:request_in_new_tab`

This setting allows the Aeon request to appear in a different tab, when set to true. Defaults to false.

`:hide_request_button`

This setting allows the request button to be hidden for the repository, when set to true. The button is hidden completely rather than shown disabled. Defaults to false.

`:hide_button_for_accessions`

This setting allows the request button to be hidden for accessions, when set to true. Defaults to false.

`:aeon_site_code`

This setting specifies the Aeon site code for a repository. If this setting is not specified in the settings for the repository, no Aeon site code will be sent.

`:hide_button_for_access_restriction_types`

This setting allows the request button to be hidden for any records that have any of the listed values in the local_access_restriction_type field of the rights_restriction of the accessrestrict note. The value of this config item should be an array of restriction types, for example:

:hide_button_for_access_restriction_types => ['RestrictedSpecColl']

By default, no restriction types are hidden.

`:log_records`

This setting will log the full content of ArchivesSpace records when set to true. This can be useful for debugging mappings and plugin issues, but should not normally be enabled.

`:requestable_archival_record_levels`

This setting allows sites to restrict the types of Resources and Archival Objects that are requestable, using the "level" property of the record.

The setting accepts a few different configurations, specifying either a "whitelist" or a "blacklist" of levels that should either have requesting enabled, or disabled.
The values that are specified in this list must be entries in the Archival Record Level (archival_record_level) controlled value list. This list can be accessed in the Staff interface through http://archivesspace-staff.yourinstitution.edu/enumerations?id=32. The values specified in this setting must match the "Value" column of the enumeration. The "Translation" column of the enumeration CANNOT be used.

Example 1: Specifies a whitelist. Under this configuration, only Resources and Archival Objects that have a level of either "item" or "file" will be requestable.

AppConfig[:aeon_fulfillment] = {
    "repo code" => {
        # ...
        :requestable_archival_record_levels => ["item", "file"]
    }
}

Example 2: Specifies a whitelist. Under this configuration, only Resources and Archival Objects that have a level of either "item" or "file" will be requestable. This configuration functions identically to the example demonstrated in Example 1.

AppConfig[:aeon_fulfillment] = {
    "repo code" => {
        # ...
        :requestable_archival_record_levels => {
            :list_type => :whitelist,
            :values => ["item", "file"]
        }
    }
}

Example 3: Specifies a blacklist. Under this configuration, Resources and Archival Objects that have a level of either "Collection", "Series", "Sub-Series", "Record Group", or "Sub-Group" cannot be requested through this plugin.

AppConfig[:aeon_fulfillment] = {
    "repo code" => {
        # ...
        :requestable_archival_record_levels => {
            :list_type => :blacklist,
            :values => ["collection", "series", "subseries", "recordgrp", "subgrp"]
        }
    }
}

`:top_container_mode`

This true/false setting controls whether or not the new top container mode is active for the given repository. This mode has two effects:

Only top containers associated with the current record are requestable. If no top containers are associated with the current record, then the request button will be replaced by a message (see :no_containers_message setting below).
When the user clicks the Aeon Request button, they will be taken to the new Aeon Box-Picker form to submit their request(s).

If this setting is true, then the :requests_permitted_for_containers_only should also be set to true.

`:disallowed_record_level_message`

This is the message that will be displayed instead of the Aeon Request button if the current record cannot be requested due to the values listed in the :requestable_archival_record_levels setting. If no value is provided, the default value will be "Not requestable". The message should be kept short (30 characters or less) for best appearance.

`:no_containers_message`

This is the message that will be displayed instead of the Aeon Request button if the current record has no associated topcontainers and :top_container_mode is active. If no value is provided, the default value will be "No requestable containers". The message should be kept short (30 characters or less) for best appearance.

`:restrictions_message`

This is the message that will be displayed instead of the Aeon Request button if the current record cannot be requested because it has active restrictions matching the values in the :hide_button_for_access_restriction_types setting. If no value is provided, the default value will be "Access Restricted". The message should be kept short (30 characters or less) for best appearance.

`:user_defined_fields`

This setting allows sites to specify which user defined fields are imported. This setting applies to all records that use user defined fields. By default, no user defined fields are pulled from the record into the HTML form. Any fields that are imported will be labelled according to the section on user defined fields below. The setting accepts a few different configurations:

You can specify the setting as either true or false, indicating that all or none of the fields should be mapped into the HTML form. false is the default for this setting.
You can specify the setting as either a "whitelist" or a "blacklist" of user defined fields that should or should not be mapped.
The values that are specified in this list MUST be the names of the fields as they appear in the database and in the user defined schema. The localizations/translations for these fields CANNOT be used.

Example 1: Specifies that all fields from the User Defined Fields should be mapped into the HTML form. If false is used in place of true, none of the fields will be imported. false is the default value.

AppConfig[:aeon_fulfillment] = {
    "repo code" => {
        # ...
        :user_defined_fields => true
    }
}

Example 2: Specifies a whitelist, variation 1. Under this configuration, only the 3 user defined fields that are listed will be imported into the HTML form.

AppConfig[:aeon_fulfillment] = {
    "repo code" => {
        # ...
        :user_defined_fields => ["text_1", "string_1", "real_2"]
    }
}

Example 3: Specifies a whitelist, variation 2. This configuration is identical to Example 2.

AppConfig[:aeon_fulfillment] = {
    "repo code" => {
        # ...
        :user_defined_fields => {
            :list_type => :whitelist,
            :values => ["text_1", "string_1", "real_2"]
        }
    }
}

Example 4: Specifies a blacklist. Under this configuration, all of the user defined fields that are not specified in this list will be imported, except for the ones that are listed.

AppConfig[:aeon_fulfillment] = {
    "repo code" => {
        # ...
        :user_defined_fields => {
            :list_type => :blacklist,
            :values => [
                "text_1", "text_2", "text_3",
                "string_1", "string_2",
                "boolean_1", "boolean_2", "boolean_3"
            ]
        }
    }
}

Other Configuration Options

The following configuration options apply globally, rather than for a particular repository.

`:aeon_fulfillment_record_types`

This setting takes an array of record types. It allows this plugin to handle additional record types via custom mappers (see below).

`:aeon_fulfillment_button_position`

This setting supports the positioning of the request button relative to the other buttons appearing on a page. By default the button will appear to the right of all built in buttons and to the left of any plugin buttons loaded after it. Setting this to 0 will cause the request button to appear to the left of the built in buttons.

Example Configuration

AppConfig[:plugins] = ['local', 'aeon_fulfillment']

AppConfig[:aeon_fulfillment_record_types] = ['accession', 'archival_object', 'resource']
AppConfig[:aeon_fulfillment_button_position] = 2

AppConfig[:aeon_fulfillment] = {
    "special research collections" => {
        :aeon_web_url => "https://your.institution.edu/aeon/aeon.dll",
        :aeon_return_link_label => "Back to ArchivesSpace",
        :aeon_external_system_id => "ArchivesSpace",
        :aeon_site_code => "SPECCOLL",
        :requests_permitted_for_containers_only => true
    },
    "test special collections" => {
        :aeon_web_url => "https://your.institution.edu/aeon/aeon.dll",
        :aeon_return_link_label => "Back to ArchivesSpace",
        :aeon_external_system_id => "ArchivesSpace Test",
        :aeon_site_code => "TEST",
        :requests_permitted_for_containers_only => false
    }
}

Aeon Remote Authentication Configurations

This plugin is designed to send as much data from ArchivesSpace as possible to allow users to easily map fields on the Aeon side of the integration. As such, it uses POST data rather than GET parameters so that data does not get truncated. This can be problematic for some remote authentication systems. If you are using the Atlas Dual Auth Portal, it already has functionality to resolve this issue by persisting POST data during the remote authentication process so you can simply configure this plugin to send requests to it instead of directly to Aeon. However, please note that some additional configuration is required to enable POST data support for the Dual Auth Portal. If you use the Portal and are experiencing issues with POST data persistence between ArchivesSpace and Aeon, please see the Using an Authentication Portal Landing Page page for information on configuring the Portal to support POST data.

If you are not using the Atlas Dual Auth Portal with your remote authentication configuration or are having difficulty getting it configured correctly, please contact Atlas Support.

Imported Fields

This plugin builds a form that is sent to Aeon through the external requests (?action=11&type=200) endpoint of the Aeon Web interface. Below are the names of the fields as they will appear in the request.

Common Fields

These fields are imported from both Archival Object records and Accession records.

SystemID
ReturnLinkURL
- The return link is populated using either the AppConfig[:public_proxy_url] or the AppConfig[:public_url], depending on which has a value. If both are set, then AppConfig[:public_proxy_url] takes precedence. If neither is specified in config/config.rb, then the ArchivesSpace default value (http://localhost:8081 as of this writing) will be used. The URI of the requested record is suffixed to this value to form the complete return link.
ReturnLinkSystemName
Site
identifier
publish (true/false value)
level
title
uri
repo_code
repo_name
language
- semi-colon (;) separated string list
- contains the content from the language elements listed in lang_materials
- for accessions, contains the single value in the language element
restrictions_apply (true/false value)
display_string
creators
- semi-colon (;) separated string list
{date_label}_date
- semi-colon (;) separated string list
- contains the content from the expressions of the record's related dates
- The plugin will group all of the related dates of each record based on the date's label. For each distinct date label of the dates that are linked to the record, the request to Aeon will contain a distinct date parameter. Some examples of what to expect for the name of this field include creation_date, event_date, and other_date. The full list of values that could appear in place of the {date_label} placeholder is controlled by the date_label enumeration of your ArchivesSpace installation.
date_expression
- semi-colon (;) separated string list
- contains the combined final_expressions of the single and inclusive dates associated with the record.
rights_type
- semi-colon (;) separated string list
- contains the combined rights_type values of all rights statements associated with the record.
digital_objects
- semi-colon (;) separated string list
- contains the IDs of all digital objects associated with the record.

The following fields are common to both Accession records and Archival Object records, but are based on the number of instances associated with the record. The number of requests sent to Aeon is equal to the number of instances associated with the record. If there are no instances, only one request will be sent to Aeon. All of these fields are dependant on the number of instances, and the values of each may differ from instance to instance.

instance_is_representative
instance_last_modified_by
instance_instance_type
instance_created_by
instance_container_grandchild_indicator
instance_container_child_indicator
instance_container_grandchild_type
instance_container_child_type
instance_container_last_modified_by
instance_container_created_by
instance_top_container_ref
instance_top_container_uri
instance_top_container_long_display_string

instance_top_container_display_string
instance_top_container_restricted
instance_top_container_created_by
instance_top_container_indicator
instance_top_container_barcode
instance_top_container_type
instance_top_container_collection_identifier (semi-colon (;) separated string list)

physical_location_note
- semi-colon (;) separated string list
- contains the content from physloc notes
repository_processing_note
userestrict
- semi-colon (;) separated string list
- contains the combined contents of all published userestrict notes associated with the record.

Accession Fields

In addition to the fields specified in the list of common fields, the following additional fields are specific to requests made for Accession records.

use_restrictions_note
access_restrictions_note
language
- This field is also present on most Archival Object requests, but it is mapped from a different location for Accession requests.

user_defined_enum_4

OpenURL Mappings

Below is a list of recommended Open URL mappings that should be set in Aeon.

The rfr_id column should exactly match the configured :aeon_external_system_id for each repository. Multiple repositories can have the same or different System IDs.
The AeonFieldName column should exactly match an Aeon field name.
Each value in the OpenURLFieldValues should contain a <#replacement-tag> that has a name that matches one of the field names from the Imported Fields section.

The SQL script below can be used to add some basic mappings to the OpenURLMapping table in Aeon. Additional mappings can then be added manually to the table in the Aeon Customization Manager. For more information on configuring this feature Aeon, please visit the Submitting Requests via OpenURL page of our documentation.

INSERT INTO OpenURLMapping (URL_Ver, rfr_id, AeonAction, AeonFieldName, OpenURLFieldValues, AeonValue) VALUES ('Default', 'ArchivesSpace', 'Replace', 'ItemAuthor', '<#creators>', 'NULL');
INSERT INTO OpenURLMapping (URL_Ver, rfr_id, AeonAction, AeonFieldName, OpenURLFieldValues, AeonValue) VALUES ('Default', 'ArchivesSpace', 'Replace', 'ItemDate', '<#creation_date>', 'NULL');
INSERT INTO OpenURLMapping (URL_Ver, rfr_id, AeonAction, AeonFieldName, OpenURLFieldValues, AeonValue) VALUES ('Default', 'ArchivesSpace', 'Replace', 'ItemTitle', '<#title>', 'NULL');
INSERT INTO OpenURLMapping (URL_Ver, rfr_id, AeonAction, AeonFieldName, OpenURLFieldValues, AeonValue) VALUES ('Default', 'ArchivesSpace', 'Replace', 'Location', '<#instance_top_container_long_display_string>', 'NULL');
INSERT INTO OpenURLMapping (URL_Ver, rfr_id, AeonAction, AeonFieldName, OpenURLFieldValues, AeonValue) VALUES ('Default', 'ArchivesSpace', 'Replace', 'ItemNumber', '<#instance_top_container_barcode>', 'NULL');
INSERT INTO OpenURLMapping (URL_Ver, rfr_id, AeonAction, AeonFieldName, OpenURLFieldValues, AeonValue) VALUES ('Default', 'ArchivesSpace', 'Replace', 'ItemISxN', '<#physical_location_note>', 'NULL');
INSERT INTO OpenURLMapping (URL_Ver, rfr_id, AeonAction, AeonFieldName, OpenURLFieldValues, AeonValue) VALUES ('Default', 'ArchivesSpace', 'Replace', 'CallNumber', '<#physical_location_note>|<#collection_id>', 'NULL');

Custom Mappers

The plugin provides default mappers for Accession and ArchivalObject records. To support other record types, specify the list of supported record type in configuration like this:

  AppConfig[:aeon_fulfillment_record_types] = ['archival_object', 'accession', 'custom_record_type']

It is possible to override the default mappers by providing a custom mapper class. Mapper classes register to handle record types by calling the class method #register_for_record_type(type), like this:

  register_for_record_type(Accession)

The custom mapping class should inherit from one of the provided mapper classes and then implement whatever custom mappings are required by overriding the relevant methods. (See the default mappers for examples, as they override behavior from the base AeonRecordMapper class)

The custom mapping class can be loaded from another plugin provided it is listed after this plugin in the array of plugins in the configuration.

Configuring the Aeon Request Form Used

It is possible to control the Aeon request form that fulfillment requests use by adding an entry to the OpenURLMapping table for the DocumentType parameter. The new OpenURLMapping entry should resemble (Default, ArchivesSpace, Replace, DocumentType, [SomeDocumentType]). For example, using "Manuscript" in place of [SomeDocumentType] causes requests to use the GenericRequestManuscript form.

There is some complexity to controlling which form is used:

Aeon Transaction fields will populated if (a) there is an entry in OpenURLMapping for the Aeon Transaction field and (b) if the result of evaluating tag strings from the OpenURLFieldValues column of the OpenURLMapping table against the OpenUrl request from ArchivesSpace results in a non-empty value. Aeon Transaction fields can also be populated directly, if there is a direct match between one of the parameters of the OpenUrl request and a field in the Aeon Transaction table.
If DocumentType and RequestType are both not populated, or if their values do not make sense to Aeon, then the Aeon Transaction will use the DefaultRequest form.
If DocumentType is not populated, or if it's populated as "Default", and RequestType is populated as "Copy", then the Aeon Transaction will use the PhotoduplicationRequest form.
If DocumentType is not "Default", then the name of the form that the Aeon Transaction will use will be "GenericRequest", concatenated with the value stored in DocumentType parameter on the Aeon Transaction.
