Overview of setting up a digital library

This section provides an overview of the steps required to set up an ADL node.

  1. Install Java 2 SDK.
  2. Install Apache Tomcat Server 4.1.24.
  3. Download ADL software.
  4. Install ADL software.
  5. Test the installation and connection to UCSB MIL.
  6. Determine how data holdings will be divided into collections. See “Planning A Collection."
  7. Determine what collection-level and item-level metadata will be used. See “Introduction to ADL Metadata."
  8. Format metadata reports by editing report templates (bucket-report-template.xml, browse-report-template.xml, access-report-template.xml). The report templates are in [tomcat]\webapps\mw_version_number_wc\WEB-INF\config\collections\collection_name.
  9. Test the metadata reports using test-form.jsp.
    Go to HTTP://[your_host_name]:[port]/mw_wc_202/test-form.jsp.
    For example: HTTP://myhost.myschool.edu:8080/mw_wc_202/test-form.html
  10. Set up configuration parameters in bucket99.conf, for example, the database connection string. The bucket99.conf file is in [tomcat]\webapps\mw_version_number_wc\WEB-INF\config\collections\collection_name.
  11. Define queries for metadata reports in bucket99.conf (bucket, browse, access).
  12. Map item-level metadata to buckets in query-translator.py. The query-translator.py file is in [tomcat]\webapps\mw_version_number_wc\WEB-INF\config\collections\collection_name.
  13. Test webclient and if problems are encountered, enable query log.
