Fw: Tag for returning url to detail record

I propose that we kick Ralph's idea  (that he 
posted to sru) around here a bit.   Here we don't have to put up 
with Mike Taylor. 

 

Might we want to consider, within 
application/sru+xml, allowing   foreign (namespaced) elements, 
ignorable.  At the response level?  <records> level?  
<record> level?

I think there are a few elements 
in the <recordData> that could be promoted up to the <record> 
element.

 

I’m trying to build RSS feeds 
from SRU responses.  There are a number of elements in an RSS entry that 
would be easier to populate if they were treated as distinguished data and in 
the <record> element itself.  I’m thinking of things like author, 
title, recordIdentifier and link elements.  Naturally, they’d be optional 
elements.

 

I’ve not proposed them openly on 
the SRU editorial list, but I’d be glad to do that if there was some support for 
doing that from the implementors.

 

Any suggestions for other 
elements would be appreciated.  I’d prefer not to just drop the complete DC 
list in, but wouldn’t be astonished if there was popular support for the 
idea.

 

Sorry, Jörg, but that wouldn’t 
fix your problem in the near-term.

Subject: Tag for returning url to detail 
record

 

Hi

 

I’m in the process of building a search service for archives 
using the SRU technology. One of the requirements is that the result set that is 
displayed after a search, provides a hyperlink to a detail page of the record. 
Reason is, that archival records can contain lots of information that will not 
be accessible by the SRU query.

 

So the SRU client must be able to return this URL in its 
record structure. As the chosen Context Set does not provide a place for 
returning the URL we must use the extraRecordData tag to return this 
information. 

As we think that this is quite a common requirement we were 
surprised that there is no “standard” extension for that as there is one for the 
relevancy.

 

Does anybody know if there is a existing extension for 
returning the URL to a detail record in the result set? And if not, what would 
be a good name to use?

 

Regards

Jörg Lang
