Re: [VuFind-General] VuFind and Archives (Calm)

Hi,
No problem. We'll try to make it available next week or the week after.

Basically all we get from the ILS is a skeleton stucture with the record id
and title. Something like:
<root bibid="0112" title="Collection level title">
     <node bibid="12345" title="Some title">
          <node bibid="6789" title="Some other title">
               <node bibid="etc" title="Some other title etc" />
               <node bibid="etc" title="Some other title etc" />
               <node bibid="etc" title="Some other title etc" />
          </node>
          <node bibid="6789" title="Some other title">
               <node bibid="etc" title="Some other title etc" />
          </node>
     </node>
</root>

This is enough for jstree to build the tree which allows the user to jump
between standard vufind records. I'd imagine you could get to this structure
from EAD pretty easily but I haven't used it myself.

Cheers,
Eoghan
