FW: New Paper on Case Study in OpenSearch/SRU Integration

["Hammond, Tony" <t.hammond@nature.com>]

Hi:

Just for the record am cc'ing the SWS TC on this announcement to the SRU
list of our D-Lib paper on OpenSearch/SRU Integration.

Note that this documents the behaviour at launch last fall. We have
subsequently been extending the service and adding new features (e.g.
facets) but wanted to focus in the paper on the basic OpenSearch and SRU
aspects of the service.

Cheers,

Tony

> Abstract: "This paper provides a case study of OpenSearch and SRU integration
> on the nature.com science publisher platform. These two complementary search
> methodologies are implemented on top of a common base service and provide
> alternate interfaces into the underlying search engine. Specific points
> addressed include query strings, response formats, and service control and
> discovery. Current applications and future work directions are also
> discussed."
> 
> The paper compares the OpenSearch and SRU search paradigms and also talks
> about the OpenSearch Extension for SRU, as well as discusses some lessons for
> SRU from OpenSearch.
