Subject: Description Language (draft message to SRU implementors)
Draft message about the description language. For discussion at this mornings call ----------------------------------------------- In conjuntion with the recent invitation to participate in the development of SRU/CQL 2.0, The OASIS Search Web Services Technical Committee also invites your participation in the development of the SWS Description Language. The Description Language will be used to write description files describing SWS bindings: capabilities and general characteristic of a search engine and how it may be accessed. For example consider the hypothetical description file below, including a general description (<databaseInfo>), a request formulation. element (<requestInfo>), and a response interpretation element (<responseInfo>). <sws> <!-- --> <databaseInfo> <name>Science Fiction Database</name> <shortName>SciFi</shortName> <contact> <name>Ralph LeVan</name> <email>levan@oclc.org</email> </contact> </databaseInfo> <!-- --> <requestInfo> <template> http://orlabs.oclc.org/SRW/search/scifi ?query=cql.any+%3D+%22{query}%22&version=1.1 &operation=searchRetrieve&maximumRecords={maximumItems} &startRecord={startPosition} </template> <example> http://orlabs.oclc.org/SRW/search/scifi ?query=cql.any+%3D+%22ninja+turtles%22&version=1.1 &operation=searchRetrieve&maximumRecords=10&startRecord=1 </example> </requestInfo> <!-- --> <responseInfo type='xml' xmlns:srw='http://www.loc.gov/zing/srw/'> <numberOfItems> <tagpath>/srw:searchRetrieveResponse/numberOfRecords</tagpath> </numberOfItems> <item> <tagpath> /srw:searchRetrieveResponse/srw:records/srw:record/srw:recordData </tagpath> </item> <diagnostics> <tagpath>/srw:searchRetrieveResponse/srw:diagnostics</tagpath> </diagnostics> </responseInfo> </sws> **************** We invite SRU implementors to join the effort to develop this description language.
