Hi Apologies for references to fedora/muradora - we are using fedora with a muradora front end and so my question applies to both applications.
We are at present attempting to preserve the correct diacritics in our metadata relating to, for example, personal names. However, we are now wondering how this will affect user searching in fedora and muradora. In a nutshell, many of our users will be accessing the system from their own pcs/laptops with the standard asci keyboard and may not know how to include diacritics in their search strings. So, for example, if we ingest a datastream with the artist name Kollwitz, Käthe, with the umlaut correctly preserved in the metadata, will fedora/muradora find the correct result if the user searches under Kollwitz, Kathe rather than Kollwitz, Käthe? I know some library indexing systems will support this, but how will muradora and fedora behave? Has anyone had experience of this?
