| Description: | Way to plug in TemaTres into Koha. TemaTres is a highly specific software, just for one purpose, but highly integrable via webservices. If in one hand you have your thesauri, and in the other a bibliographic database, probably you want to manage subjects with something more than how Koha handle this kind of authorities. | |
About TemaTres
From TemaTres website: TemaTres is an open source vocabulary server, web application to manage and exploit vocabularies, thesauri, taxonomies and formal representations of knowledge.
Goals
The main goal is to add some of the TemaTres features into Koha.
Strategies
An integration using webservice might need to persist on database:
- String entity
- URI of the service
- String timestamp
There is also two main ways to accomplish this integration:
- Integration at string level
- Import integration
Some question we may ask are:
- How changes on outside/TemaTres strings are handled?
- An OAI-PMH harvester could help?
- How Koha will take advantage of relationships between terms saved on TemaTres?
Probably this integration have deep implications in how easily Koha can integrate functionality of other softwares like digital libraries, CMSs, etc.
