Functional requirements- Database harvest:
- Rather than harvesting a CSV/XML file, work could be undertaken to create an SQL Harvester
- Normalisation of feeds:
- Data is often drawn from a variety of systems and require cleaning before import
- The harvester rules file and transformers can undertake some aspects of data cleaning/munging
- The ALA Filing Rules may provide a guideline for this work
- Alert scenarios:
- A number of triggers should alert ReDBox/Mint:
- Research project starting/completing
- Someone (researcher) leaving
- Resources allocated to a project: e.g. research storage
- Submission interfaces:
- An OAI-PMH harvester exists but other options might be considered:
- The ReDBox/Mint queue interface is useful for integration
