feature from SRU 2.0
Sorry, I don’t see the issue here. There is a long
tradition of a display form separate from the value. HTML lists clearly
make the distinction. In Scan, we wanted to be able to display, for
instance, a Name to the user, but return an LCCN. So, the displayTerm is
different from the value element. I’m proposing the same capability.

am not sure why there is a need for an extra technical field with the content
"20101001 20101007" as the same content is also present in
<query> and in <requestUrl>. This seems a little redundant
It is redundant. The main case, I think, is Scan.. where its also in this
paradigm also redundant..
I won't argue that it could be useful but its not needed. I'd personally rather
see a <description> (or some other name for the sub-element) that could
contain some verbose text not intended as a display version of the term but
available as additional info in, for example, text bubbles..
Options:
- Have DisplayTerm in both Facets and Scan and add also Description to both.
- Use DisplayTerm as Description.. perhaps in both facets and scan (adding
DisplayTerm in Facets).
- Get rid of DisplayTerm in scan and don't suggest one for Facets. No
description either. None are needed (Minialistic version).
- Rename DisplayTerm in Scan to Description--- or some other name that does not
mislead one to think its about displaying a term--- and add a Description in
facets.
Personally... I think since we've agreed to let the server do what it wants we
don't and should not have a DisplayTerm since its misleading.. Facets don't
need them.. Neither does Scan--- and so I think we might want to open the
discussion about getting rid of them in Scan should we choose not to have them
in Facet (given the analogs). I would not mind a Description sub-element but I
could also live fine and dandy without one.

think!
