  • PAIA

    • Description
      The Patrons Account Information API (PAIA) is a generic and complete interface for patron function.
      The main benefit of PAIA is its  (only) focus on patron functions, so the API keeps simple. Functions of an other realm need to covered by complementary APIs like DAIA.
      PAIA is split into two parts:

      • PAIA-core for the patron functions

      • PAIA-auth which defines the authentication process (local and via OAuth2)
        This allows a discovery system not to know the patrons credentials, even if the discovery system uses other patron's ids than FOLIO

    • Status
      PAIA is developed by Jakob Voß (orid:0000-0002-7613-4123) and is used at the German consortia GBV and hebis.
      The functional range is influenced by the LMS (OCLC/PICA LBS). But the API is developed to be vendor independent.
      Not (yet) available as openAPI or RAML

  • DAIA

    • Description
      The Document Availability Information API (DAIA) describes the availability of a resource. In a departure from other approaches, DAIA uses an extended concept of availability and defines multiple domains of availability.
      For example, a book may be available only for use in the library (presence), other books may be available to take them home, both are not available online. With the different availabilities in different domains a discovery system can present the 'right' links without interpreting the raw item data and knowing all (real world) dependencies within the library.
    • Status
      DAIA was invented by Anne Christensen, Jakob Voß and Uwe Reh and is used at the German consortia GBV and hebis.
      Not (yet) available as openAPI or RAML
