Thanks, Diane. I was looking over those links as well but getting 502 Bad Gateway errors. Maybe that's because of what you were saying about LC pulling them down. I did re-read some examples from http://www.ukoln.ac.uk/metadata/dcmi/marcrel-ex/ If I understand this correctly, and I use marc r

Actually, I'd be concerned using Google - it will block mechanised queries, and block "legitimate", human queries until the automated queries are shutdown. I'd expect any API worth it's salt would indicate how many queries per it will reasonably handle. Tom On Fri, Jun 18, 2010 at 3:23 AM, Kyle

Hey, Adam. I'm working on something very similar right now and I'd be happy to compare notes. I'm starting to use solrizer (http://github.com/projecthydra/solrizer) to index fedora contents into solr and point blacklight at the resulting index. I've indexed fedora datastreams into solr before,

Hi all, I'm currently developing an interface to our fedora repository using the active-fedora RoR plugin. I'm doing this in Blacklight for starters, but not using the indexing capabilities since I don't know how to do that yet. I've built a simple form that creates a descriptive dublin core

I'd be concerned about bumping into limits or getting throttled using APIs mentioned so far. I'd be inclined to go for a mass data download, match as much as I could, and then if there's still more than would be appropriate for an API approach, throw fielded searches across a number of library cata
