On Tuesday 17th June we had the third meeting with our developers, which happens at the end of each development cycle (typically lasting 2 weeks). At the beginning of this cycle we agreed that the basic deliverables were:
- Index full text and metadata of stored items for search engines
- Improved functionality with regard to search results lists
- New functionality to allow view and download of full text for a document
- New functionality for inserting journal issues into the repository and indexing their full text
The functionality was delivered on Monday 16th June. There are some outstanding issues to be resolved for this development cycle, and these will be resolved over the next cycles. The next development cycle will be followed by a development meeting on Wednesday 2nd July. The priorities and deliverables for this next cycle were agreed, and briefly are:
- Ingest and index full text and all metadata from a new PDF document
