PURLS
View previous PURL validation results
by PURL, URL, and/or Maintainer information
Instructions
Enter a string to search for in any of the fields below and then select the
Search Now
button in order to get a list of matching PURLs from which to choose. You will be able to edit this list before viewing previous validation results. The search input fields are used as follows:
PURL:
this input will be used to match the name part of PURLs on this resolver. For example, in the fictitious PURL http://purl.org/hello/there, "/hello/there" is the name part. Since the prefix
http://purl.oclc.org
is implicit in each PURL on this resolver and is outside the name part, it should not be entered in the
PURL
field.
URL:
this input will be used to match any part of any URL associated with a PURL on this resolver. All parts of the URL are significant and can be entered to help limit the search.
Maintainer:
this input will be used to search for a registered user ID or group ID that is a PURL maintainer on this resolver and exactly matches this string. Since a PURL's maintainers access control list can include group IDs, matches against this input field are determined by recursively expanding any such group IDs into a list of their members' IDs and then matching against all IDs in the fully expanded list. For example, if
BOB
is a member of the group
TALL
and
TALL
is the sole maintainer of the PURL
duck-when-entering
, then
BOB
will match as a maintainer of
duck-when-entering
. Thus, entering
BOB
in the
Maintainer
field would match the PURL
duck-when-entering
. Large group expansions can take a long time to compute!
Explicit Maintainer:
this input will be used to search for a registered user ID or group ID that is an explicitly named PURL maintainer on this resolver and exactly matches this string. This match is
NOT
done recursively like that done for the
Maintainer
field above. Instead, the input will only match an ID that appears explicitly in the maintainers access control list of a PURL. Using the example above, entering
BOB
in the
Explicit Maintainer
field would
NOT
match the PURL
duck-when-entering
.
Nonempty fields are "ANDed" together.
Empty fields are not used in the search.
