What's needed to fill/update the search index of an discovery system.
This intended as a unstructured collection of needs, wishes, use cases, etc.
Please add any thoughts. Don't care about duplicates or potential already supported functions.
In the upcoming discussion it's much easier to drop a point than to find a missing one.
| Title / Key | Who (optional) | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Data format marc | Uwe Reh | Since VuFind and most other discovery systems, are well prepared to handle marc, this format should be the default. |
| Deletions | (Perhaps it is standard feature of OAI) The interface should deliver deleted and blocked titles/items as:
| |
| Invisible data | Sometimes a title or an item needs to be visual for the staff but not to the patrons. This data should be ignored by the interface. | |
| Item information | OAI server currently injects special 9xx fields into the MARC records containing things like suppression status, item details, etc. I would suggest that, if that standard meets our needs, we should try to use it consistently to reduce confusion/configuration.
