Search and Discovery
The nature of an object-based repository, like Fedora, is to manage all information in the most modular manner, in a way that is as independent of any particular software as possible.There is no database that holds metadata fields. There are services, such as GSearch and PrOAI, that harvest content and metadata from objects in various ways for various purposes. The best practice for building access systems for a Fedora repository is to use such services to build one or more indexes that are tailored to your needs.
...
Both GSearch and PrOAI are designed to let you be selective in which objects you want included and to let you specify which datastreams you want to be included, either actual datastreams or virtual ones that result from a service call. GSearch lets you use one or more search engines that are already included to define different kinds of indexes. It also provides a way for you to create a plugin for your favorite search engine, if it is not already included. PrOAI lets you selectively expose your repository under the Open Archives Initiative (OAI) scheme.
- Basic Search - The built-in search that is intended for repository managers use, not intended to be exposed externally.
- GSearch - The Generic Search Service that makes Fedora's features useful to different search engines.
- PrOAI - The OAI provider service that is designed to take advantage of Fedora's features.
- The RDF-based Resource Index - This is Fedora's built-in semantic store.
