Technical Roadmap

1. Create a searchable database for public using Django (In progress)

2. It should be possible to export data in various formats

Possible formats: MARC21, UNIMARC, Dubline Core

4. MARC21 is very likely to be supported as it is being used by various free softwares (eg:- Koha)

5. Identify the MARC21 fields to be used for bibliographic data.

6. Setup a searchable index similar to US Library of Congress voyager server ( http://z3950.loc.gov ) using the software available at : http://indexdata.com

8. Integrate with SILPA project.

9. Setup a dedicated physical server.
