[CODE4LIB] holdings standards/protocols

2009-11-16 Thread Chris Keene
Hi We recently implemented a new third party web catalogue (Aquabrowser). So far so good, and separating the web based discovery layer from the monolithic ILS seems to be the right direction. However there seems to be two areas of weakness: Holdings and 'My Accout' (renewal, reservations).

Heya Chris.. Index Data used to maintain a public registry of z3950 targets, and I think it used to show which targets support the OPAC-1 record syntax as a means of supporting holdings info.. Might be a good place to start? Ian. On Mon, 2009-11-16 at 14:05 +, Chris Keene wrote: Hi We

Can anyone give me an idea if any/many/all (ILS) Z implementations have implemented the holdings information? Is there a way of testing this using a client such as yaz (e.g. a worked example of seeing holdings via Z) Voyager certainly can - see example below. I've also got some perl that

Innovative does too. Like Ben mentioned with Voyager Z39.50, simply set the record type to 'OPAC' in your yaz client to get the holdings. --Dave == David Walker Library Web Services Manager California State University http://xerxes.calstate.edu

Interesting, Chris. I have looked toward solr for feeding instances for controlled vocabulary (and to take advantage of Orbeon's autocomplete/autosuggest capabilities), but I haven't gotten very far into it. I assume it's possible. I too have had PermGen space issues with Orbeon running in

I've found this thread very helpful (and heartening). At UVM most of our metadata work is now being done through XForms, and we are just moving over to Orbeon. We have a fairly complete form for MODS records and a form for METS creation in the works, but we also handle EAD and TEI records

VuFind has a connector that works pretty well for SirsiDynix Unicorn/Symphony users. It levies an ILS server side script (Perl I think) to interface with the API to get holdings data. It is possible to get account data the same way, though it hasn't been developed. You can see it run here on our
