Development of workflows for transforming and publishing swissbib data as linked open data
In the beginning of 2014, swissbib started with new VuFind interfaces on all views (swissbib, swissbib Basel Bern, jusbib).
swissbib won secure financing from SUK-P2 for the period 2014-2016, for both projects swissbib and linked.swissbib.ch.
This year was marked by projects concerning the search interface and the datahub (CBS). A lot of work was done for switching from TouchPoint to the open source software VuFind. The existing design was implemented in VuFind and modules that did not yet exist were implemented. The data model of CBS saw a complete overhaul, with a new software version, updates are merged into new clusters, data quality saw a massive improvement.
Also, swissbib wrote proposals to get financing from the "successor" programe to e-lib.ch, SUK-P2 "Wissenschaftliche Information: Zugang, Verarbeitung und Speicherung. A partner projekt working on linked open data (linked.swissbib.ch ) was also set up.
After the big move of last year 2012 is for consolidating the service and updating all main components. This includes the switch from FAST to SOLR for the search engine. Also two new swissbib based search solutions (local catalog of Basel/Bern and jusbib a portal for juridical literature in Swiss libraries) are supported during deployment.
Additionally the federal libraries are added to swissbib.
The main focus is moving swissbibs IT-infrastructure to Basel. During the deployment phase the service was hosted by OCLC in Leiden but for the production phase of the service it should be run in Switzerland. Additionally the following goals are reached:
adding more sources to swissbib
working on the infrastructure for local search applications based on on swissbib
working on the data and search quality
providing open interfaces
Swissbib went live as public beta in December 2009 and the deployment project with OCLC comes to an end in January 2010. This marks the start for Phase II of the project dealing with four thematic areas:
streamlining the existing solution based on user feedback
improving the search quality in relation to multilingualism by including more authorities and enriching data
extending the amount of data sources present in swissbib
organizing the future of the service for 2011 onwards
The main goals of 2008 were met. swissbib procured with CBS, FAST and Touchpoint a software that meets perfectly the needs of swissbib. A first format analysis was conducted that delivers the basis for current software implementation and configuration.
The following goals are defined for 2009
deployment of the base system in collaboration with OCLC
setting up the infrastructure for data delivery and communication on the local level
testing and perfecting of the swissbib solution in collaboration with Swiss libraries
Going live with swissbib by the end of 2009
The swissbib project team is complete and started to work on regularly basis. It consists of
Project leader Hannes Hug, director University library Basel
Project coordinator Tobias Viegener
System architect Günter Hipler
Main goals of 2008 are
evaluation and procurement of software for swissbib
set up a definite organizational structure for the project
analyzing and describing the data to be used for swissbib
building a network of test groups
deploy the software to be configured filled with live data
The preliminary phase of the swissbib project is successfully terminated.
The final draft of the Project request has been discussed and adopted at the Project council meeting on June 27th 2007. The request has been accepted by E-lib.ch in the end of 2007.
Preparatory operations were being performed by a project team consisting of
Hannes Hug, director University library Basel
Andres von Arx, head IT, University library Basel
Günter Hipler, IT coordinator IDS
Bernd Luchner, coordinator library system IDS Basel Bern
Main goals of the preliminary phase were
setup of a project organization
coordinating project partners
compilation and submission of the project request within the context of E-lib.ch
