Joint IGeLU/ELUNA Interoperability SIWG
The following have been adopted as the key interoperability goals by the group. We will be collaborating with Ex Libris closely on all of these points.
-
Encourage and support Ex Libris to consume their own APIs.
-
Establishment of a more robust regression testing framework.
-
Establish “open platform using open standards” as an integral design principle.
-
Education of broader community and enhancement of technical documentation.
-
Liaison with other open source projects directly relevant to Ex Libris products.
-
Enable more open and collaborative front-end development.
-
Encourage consistency in development practices between various Ex Libris products.
-
Prevent loss of functionality with new releases of products.
-
Encourage consistent logging of events between two products.
-
Production of API documentation that can be shared with other vendors.
More specifically, for the first two years, the group will focus on:
-
Encourage and support Ex Libris to consume their own APIs.
-
Establish “open platform using open standards” as an integral design principle.
-
Education of broader community and enhancement of technical documentation.
-
Enable more open and collaborative front-end development.
The group will also focus on:
-
Engagement with the user community to highlight the importance of this group’s role and interoperability issues that currently exist in the products.
-
Periodic NERS enhancement and voting cycles for interoperability needs.
-
Clarification of the roadmap of API development for various products.
