DiscoverItem
Find information about DiscoverItem in RelaisD2D.
DiscoverItem is a suite of web services and includes the following functionality:
- Search to execute a federated search against a configured set of Z39.50 catalogs & targets and retrieve a set of de-duplicated bibliographic records.
- Record to retrieve a single, de-duplicated (or merged) bibliographic record, which is part of the result set of an active search.
- Search / Facet to retrieve the facets (date, medium, author and subject) associated with the records returned from an active DiscoverItem - Search
Results may be used in conjunction with other Relais web services, for example:
- Requestability to determine whether a title retrieved is requestable from one or more consortium locations or available locally;
- AddRequest to add requests to RelaisD2D.
Two potential models for implementation
- User-facing search and display of fulfillment options.
- 'Offline' search and creation of a list of requestable locations.
