central locallocal

localreplication

central local 1 local 2

6

multitenancy

• back office access rights– every institution has an own user (with the same rights)

• jsp files, ...– discussion with all partners

• limitation of local fields

• our solution (BO)– naming conventions– timeframes for server restarts– subversion for configuration files

• communication!!!

Using plugins

• to integrate our repository for electronic ressources– Contents of abstracts and blurbs to full display– Contents of TOC, abstracts, blurbs, fulltext to search

• plugins:– ENRICHMENT [ procuction ]– PNX EXTENSION [ test ]

• incomplete documentation

8

Enrichment plugin

• works with a pipe• easy to implement (, if you know how to do)

– write java class– attention to some java specific

stuff– put it into a jar-archive– do some back office

configurations– restart back office

• some problems –> but now on production

PNX EXTENSION

• import external information (tocs, abstracts, …) for indexing• prepare data in xml format

• current state: testing• selected issues:

– only some types of electronical ressources are allowed yet– scheduling

10

conclusion

• a lot of thinks have been done (also by exliris)• a lots of work to do• 1st milestone reached (SPO) – more institutions will follow• open interfaces is a great possibility!!!• waiting for primo 3 to integrate OPAC functionality
