Drupal Toolkit: Search Interface
The XC Drupal Toolkit provides a public search interface for XC on top of the Drupal platform.
It uses the default Drupal theme (colors, fonts, layout) which can be customized.
In this example, the user has done a keyword search for “xml.”
12
Drupal Toolkit: Search Interface
Features:- Simple keyword search- Facets- Customizable metadata display- Circulation status - Syndetic Solutions content- Why am I getting these results for my query?
13
Drupal Toolkit: Search Interface
Features:- Additional facets- Navigation
14
Drupal Toolkit: Full Record Display
Features:- Customizable metadata display for full record- XC Schema enabled…- MST Normalization enabled…
15
Drupal Toolkit: Modular
Features:- Image zoom feature - “Lightbox2” module (Drupal.org)
16
Drupal Toolkit: Full Record Display
Features:- Reviews from Syndetic Solutions- Related Subjects- Configurable “Browse Similar Items”- Full record metadata (XC Schema) available for display
17
Drupal Toolkit: Staff Interface
Form to customize element display:This form determines how to display the creator element of a (FRBR) manifestation on the results screen.
Select a metadata schema: The Drupal Toolkit can handle multiple metadata formats, it is a platform for library metadata.
Select a FRBR level: XC metadata is FRBRized.
The “element template” box allows libraries to write simple PHP code and offers more flexibility.
All options are pre-filled with “good” defaults .
Menus take staff to other configuration options.
18
Drupal Toolkit: Staff Interface
Form to customize “More Like This”Solr is free open-source software that XC incorporates.
“More Like This” is a feature of Solr that displays related items.
This administrative web form makes configuration easy.
19
Drupal Toolkit: Custom Search/Browse Pages
• Create database-driven web applications to browse catalog content.
• Examples:– Search/Browse eJournals– Search/Browse databases by subject– Browse new titles– Search/Browse collections
• The following example shows a browsable list of videos and DVDs that could be created without any programming.
20
Drupal Toolkit: Custom Search/Browse Pages
This example allows users to browse a subset of the catalog: the videos and DVDs collection
On this page, users can browse by language. Other tabs support browse by director and genre.
Limits can be set for format: VHS or DVD
21
Drupal Toolkit: Custom Search/Browse Pages
Custom Search/Browse Page:On this page, users can do a keyword search, or browse the collection alphabetically.
22
Drupal Toolkit: Custom Search/Browse Pages
Several web forms were used to construct this application.
Note the “Browse By Title” controls.
23
Drupal Toolkit: Custom Search/Browse Pages
This is the form used to add the “Browse by Title” (A to Z list) to the user interface.
24
Drupal Toolkit: Custom Search/Browse Pages
Again, several web forms were filled out to create this custom search/browse page.
25
Drupal Toolkit: Custom Search/Browse Pages
The Drupal Toolkit provides this summary of the options that were selected.
26
Metadata storage features:- Multiple schemas- Support for MySQL and SOLR- Drupal hooks
Drupal Toolkit:Provided Modules
The Drupal Toolkit is actually a collection of Drupal add-on modules.
27
Drupal Toolkit:Provided Modules
XC Drupal Modules:- OAI-PMH Harvester- Metadata Import and export- NCIP Integration- Authentication- EZProxy- Syndetic Solutions- Search

MST: Login and Setup
Library staff are able to use the username and password they are already familiar with. The MST includes both local and LDAP authentication options.
New users are greeted with clear, unobtrusive instructions on what to do first.
For most users, the first step is to add a “repository.” This feature allows staff to tell the MST about remote sources of metadata that they are interested in aggregating.
33
MST: Adding a RepositoryTelling the MST about a repository is easy. Assign a name of your choice and enter the URL.
After adding a repository, the MST will automatically do a “handshake” with it and provide “Success” or “Error” messages for each step in the handshake.
When successful, the MST reports on what formats and sets are available in the remote database.
The MST supports all XML schemas, but individual services are schema-specific.
In case of an error, the “View Log” button takes you to more information. Errors can occur when a remote server is not responding, or does not implement the protocol correctly.
34
MST: Harvesting
The next step is to schedule the harvesting of metadata from the remote repository.
Options- Set the schedule- Choose start and end dates- Select sets and formats
Features- Performance: millions of records per hour depending on hardware and network- Incremental updates: only changed records are sent on successive harvests- On screen status indicator
35
MST: Adding a Service
The next step is to install a metadata service.
A service is a separate program, written in Java, that is managed by the MST.
Services can be downloaded from the XC website or you can write your own by following the developer’s manual.
In order to use a service, you place the downloaded file in a directory by following the MST manual.
This screen can then be used to install the service in the MST.
36
MST: Services and Processing Rules
This example shows two services already installed in this Metadata Services Toolkit (MST): MARC Normalization and MARC-to-XC-Transformation.
Now we need to tell the MST which metadata records we want proccessed through which services, and in what order. This is called service orchestration.
We will now add a “Processing Rule”
37
MST Service Orchestration: Add Processing Rule
38
MST Service Orchestration: Add Processing Rule
39
MST: Browse Records
“Browse Records” is a feature of the MST that includes faceted browse and full-text search.
The MST has a local copy of all harvested metadata and all metadata produced by each installed service.
40
MST: Browse Records
Library staff use “Browse Records” to verify that services are functioning properly and to debug any issues.
41
MST: Browse Records
Navigation to full record display (MST handles display of any XML schema)
Whenever a record is processed by a service, the original record is preserved and one or more new records may be produced. These records are called successors.
Navigation links take you to predecessor and successor records. In this case, links connect MARC records to their normalized successor. In another case, links connect a normalized MARC record to its successor Work, Expression and Manifestation records.
42
MST: Browse Records
Each service can register error messages with the MST upon installation. In this example the MARC Normalization service has attached errors to specific records.
Errors are facets in the MST.
The “i” icon links to a customizable webpage with instructions for staff to address the error.
43
MST: View Full Record
Full Record Display: MARC Holding Record

Predecessor and successor links

44
MST: Log Files
Log file management system with navigation.
This page shows MST system log files. Each installed service as well as harvest-in and harvest-out logs are available.
45
MST: XC Schema
XC Schema:
FRBRized- Work- Expression- Manifestation- Holdings- Item
RDA (Resource Description and Access)- First implementation of an RDA schema- MST offers a testbed for RDA and FRBR
