Technical Roadmap
- Create a searchable database for public using Django (In progress)
- Integrate with SILPA project and provide an API.
- It should be possible to export data in various formats.
- Identify the formats to be supported. Possible formats: MARC21, UNIMARC, Dubline Core
- MARC21 is very likely to be supported as it is being used by various free softwares (eg:- Koha)
- Identify the MARC21 fields to be used for bibliographic data.
- Setup a searchable index similar to US Library of Congress voyager server ( http://z3950.loc.gov ) using the software available at : http://indexdata.com
- Provide public API to access bibliographic data. API should be available in JSONRPC, in addition to this a RESTful API also will be available in future.
- Setup a dedicated physical server.
- All the technologies and infrastructure to be made available to other Indian languages.
