Creating subcollections

Objects in CWRC are organized in collections. You can nest collections within otehr collections. A user-editable policy attached to each collection determines which type of "children" will be permitted. Any collection can contain various object types, sub-collections or both.

Navigate to your Research Space. You can do this from your dashboard under My Projects, or by using the dropdown menu under the account icon in the top right corner of CWRC.
Select the project to which you would like to add a new subcollection.
Make sure that the parent collection in which you are creating a subcollection has one of the two following content models that allow you to create new subcollections:
Islandora Collection Content Model - creates a subcollection within a collection
Islandora Compound Object Content Model - creates a shell object that allows users to group different files by adding “Child Objects” to it. However, the objects that populate this folder must have been previously uploaded to CWRC.
For more information on this, please refere to the "CWRC Content Models" link at the bottom of the page.
To create a subcollection you need to click on Add an object to this Collection.
Select either “Islandora Collection Content Model” or “Islandora Compound Object Content Model” from the Select a Content Model to Ingest drop down menu.
Click on Next.
Enter a Collection PID or leave blank to use the default.
Choose your Inherit XACML policy. The options will be “None” or the collection that you are adding the subcollection to. Click Next.
The inherit eXtensible Access Control Markup Language (XACML) policy defines who can access the subcollection. For example, who can edit or annotate a document rather simply view its contents.
Fill out the MODS form.
The only required field is the title. The rest of the information can be filled in later from the objects Manage page.
Click on Ingest.
You can now add objects to your new subcollection.
