1. Create Collection
Level Metadata.
2. Create or map Item Level Metadata by following instructions on Collection
Level Metadata form.
3. Create configuration files.
Note: We are working on automation of this process. For now contact Catherine
Masi or Dave Valentine for
assistance in creating these files. Click to view examples:
a. bucket99.conf (configuration file)
b.query-translator.py (search bucket field names)
c. scan.xml (fields required to list result set)
d. access.xml (access report, link to data)
e. browse.xml (link to thumb and browse images)
f. full.xml (full report, complete item level metadata record)
g. user.properties (database login id and password)
4. Data, thumb and browse images
Your data objects, i.e. the actual images that you will be serving out
through ADL, need to be located on a web server. You will also need
a small "thumb" version (no larger than 128 pixels on a side)
and also an easy-to-view "browse" version (no larger than
512 pixels on a side) . We suggest you locate your data, thumbs and
browses in a directory called ../collections/your-collection-name/distribution_forms/data
(thumb, browse) as shown in the ADL demo collection (see below). But
if your data, browse and thumbs already exist in their native location,
you may prefer to leave them where they are. In either case you will
point to their location via the access.xml and browse.xml reports created
above.
Once you have completed the above steps, you are ready to load your
collection into an adl weblcient.
If you are installing your collection in adl standalone webclient:
5. Download latest version of webclient: http://alexandria.ucsb.edu/downloads/webclient/
6. Copy configuration files created above into adl_mw_wc/collections/your-collection-name.
8. You may need to recompile the webclient and/or refresh the server
to install your collection into the webclient. See instructions for installing
webclient:
http://alexandria.ucsb.edu/downloads/webclient/mw_webclient_install_readme.txt.
9. Go to http://localhost:8080/mw_yourname/admin/configuration.jsp
You should see your collection in the list of Running Collections.
10. Create the metadata html (just click on HTML) for your collection
and note the url.
11. Update collection_opml.xml in C:\adl_mw_wc\hierarchies with your
collection name and location of your metadata html file.
12. Recompile webclient (or refresh server) as instructed in #8.
