- edge_rtac: for item related availability (functional subset of DAIA)
- edge_patron: for ordering (functional subset of PAIA)
The basic ideas here are:
- Availability is a binary property that can be derived exclusively from the properties of the media.
- User The user functions do not require any additional information besides other than availability. If they donevertheless, then the search interface is expected to
supplement should handle this.
When discussing real-world challenges, it quickly became clear that these axioms are not sufficient. All use cases are missing, where availability does not only depend on the properties of the medium, but can also be limited by the properties of the user.

- A small library has two types of readers and all media are in a closed stacks.
- Some of the media may be sent to all readers, some only to group 'A' and others only to group 'B'.
- The library has a search interface that does not require registration for research.
Challenge
The search interface should offer navigation elements (buttons) that are as meaningful as possible in two modes of operation.
