[Fez-developers] Fedora repository bridge software

[Matt P. <ma...@de...>]

Hi all,

I've whipped up a small PHP application to act as a bridge between public
websites and internal Fedora repositories. For Archives New Zealand, our
Fedora repository contains a combination of highly sensitive material plus a
collection of material for public consumption. As such, the repository
itself will never be made publically available. In our situation, Fez will
also only be available internally.

The application was specifically written to display a 'picture of the day'
on the Archives website (yet to be made live). It takes an XML file
containing a list of PIDs of collections that contain publically-available
images and a list of PIDs of records containing images chosen for display.
The application contains components to both return the image as a webservice
(with optional parameters for thumbnail, preview, etc), and descriptive
metadata XML which is then formatted with an XSL file for display as HTML.

Is this sort of application suitable for making available via the Fez wiki?
It's not a modification to Fez itself, but it could potentially be useful
for others or at least serve as a simple example of API-A access, XPath, XML
and XSD.

M
