On Wednesday 23rd July we had the fifth 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:

  • Add language as a filter on advanced search
  • Show ‘Document Type’, ‘No. of pages’ and ‘Sourced From’ (formerly ‘Collection’) on search results page
  • Show thumbnail, ‘No. of pages’ and ‘File Size’ on document / journal ‘landing page’ (i.e. metadata detail page), and facilitate ingestion of thumbnail along with document / journal
  • Add css classes to web pages to facilitate page desgin

The functionality was delivered on Wednesday 23rd July. There are some outstanding issues to be resolved for this development cycle, and these will be resolved in the sixth and final cycle. Once the development and initial bug fixes are complete for the final cycle we will move the data (i.e. Fedora Repository) and the user/management interface to their live locations before embarking on final acceptance testing.

The priorities and deliverables for the final cycle were agreed, and briefly are:

  • Make it possible to re-ingest PDF, text, and thumbnail when editing metadata
  • Re-sort by relevance, title and date in search results, by clicking on a heading on this page
  • Enhance search engine with regard to foreign language text and search terms
  • Allow items to be “hidden” so that they don’t show up in User Interface searches
