UNDER THE HOOD
![Page 4: Dickinson Ref Blog Educause2009](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062704/55581c33d8b42a25588b494d/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Functional Requirements
• Internal (Tracking)– Client profile data (state or nation, purpose, etc.)– Cost tracking for scans, etc.– Monthly reports
• Client-facing (Marketing)– SEO to boost site visibility and interaction
• Aka “Googlability”
– Transparency: a public record of activity
![Page 5: Dickinson Ref Blog Educause2009](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062704/55581c33d8b42a25588b494d/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Some Observations
• Normally separate problems:– Public vs. Private functions
• Solution driven by awareness of affordances– Not abstract requirements– Would have fallen between the cracks– Side-effect of web-as-platform
• Not only possible to merge, but synergetic– A lesson In the value of transparency
![Page 6: Dickinson Ref Blog Educause2009](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062704/55581c33d8b42a25588b494d/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Technical Requirements
• Simple to build, maintain, and use– No boutique applications!– No shoe-horn applications (e.g. ticket systems)– KISS for all parties—library staff, clients, coders
• Flexible metadata– Evolvable without breaking the data model– Ability to hold public and private fields in the same
record

Also …
• Reportable data• Ability to separate public and private
functions

Enter Drupal
• Blog on steroids– Stories, tags, comments, RSS, etc.– More flexible than WordPress
• Available modules to do the job– Granular authorization (roles and rights)– Sophisticated tagging (taxonomies)– Content Construction Kit (CCK)– CCK Field Permissions Module– PHP nodes

![Page 10: Dickinson Ref Blog Educause2009](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062704/55581c33d8b42a25588b494d/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
First, adapt a content type
![Page 11: Dickinson Ref Blog Educause2009](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062704/55581c33d8b42a25588b494d/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Then create and group fields
PUBLIC
PRIVATE

… add field group to access control
![Page 13: Dickinson Ref Blog Educause2009](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062704/55581c33d8b42a25588b494d/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Finally, assign role to field group
