  8. Contents of the Digital Library • Catalogue • Institutional Repository • 6 in-house bibliographic databases • >200 external bibliographic databases • >10,000 electronic journals • >35,000 electronic books and reports • >600,000 hard copy books and journals

  9. Why build a Library Content Management System? • An ILS is insufficient, you need extra applications • The concept of an ILS is outdated. • We want a component based architecture • Buy existing components (SFX, MetaLib, Collexis) • Create missing components • Use Open Source tools (LibXML, Perl, PHP, MediaWiki, Subversion,…)

  10. Architecture XML DB Oracle Minisis xquery XML schema connector connector WebQuery xforms Search and Retrieval – SRU like post & get XSLT (server side) Update via structured HTML forms Applications

  11. Applications • WebOPAC on a variety of bibliographies • Cataloguing module • Order administration • Serials administration • Java circulation applet • NCIP interface • Z39.50 interface • OAI-PMH interface • Inter Library Loan / Online ordering system • Subject portals • General forms handling • News database • Comment database • Course libraries • ….

  12. It is all URL’s http://library.wur.nl/WebQuery/ • patron/xml/26310 • patron/renew/26310 • subscription/xml?supplier-isn=8000 • subscription/subscription.csv?supplier-isn=8000 • catalog/xml?classification/@cd=2007-11-21T*,2007-11-20T*,2007-11-19T* • catalog/rss

  13. One collection of bibliographic descriptions • Books, articles, chapters, serials, web pages, all bibliographic descriptions in XML in one collection • Library catalogue is just a view on this collection • Not completely true. The Wageningen repository containing publications of Wageningse UR form a separate collection for historical reasons, but we are going to get rid of that separation soon.

  14. Catalogue, a ‘view’ on the collection

  15. Same record, different view

  16. Many bibliographic views

  17. Subject oriented portals

  18. Other features of the LCMS

  19. Integration internally: extending the SFX knowledgebase

  20. Integration with others: order administration

  21. Pro’s • Complete standardisation on XML: well suited for a Service Oriented Architecture • Generic tools. With a decent knowledge of XSLT you can build most of the applications. • Fast development and deployment • Avoiding vendor lock-in • Lot’s of control

  22. Con’s • You will have to employ software developers • You will always have to defend your decision • Keeping IT staff is important • Maybe these are all pro’s ?

  23. Thank you for your attention
