[spinaker]

Dear colleagues

*_Report on the 3rd online presentation from the Antwerp workshop_*

As you all know already, during this week we are working in a closed 
workshop to prepare the next release of ABCD, organized by Egbert de 
Smet and sponsored by his project DOCBIBLAS of VLIR.

On behalf of this workshop we have planned, together with Bireme, to 
broadcast four online presentations in real time about some advanced 
technologies which are being incorporated into the ISIS family. See 
below the program of the presentations.

*Tomorrow Friday we will have the last videoconference in the series, 
which will be about the updates on ABCD. For this open presentation you

For today's presentation, entitled :*/_iAHx_/*/_: A search and retrieval 
interface with Apache Solr/Lucene,_/ up to 53 institutional connections 
were noted with participation of more tan 70 people during 1h:15'.

_The main topics covered were :_

-Lucene, a library of programs for full-text searching written in Java 
specifically for text-indexing.

-Solr is a web-layer for text-retrieval linked with Lucene, offering 
faceted and ranked retrieval, based on XML-schemas.

-Both projects Lucene/Solr are part of the Apache Foundation and are 
written in Java in order to be OS independent.

-The process for indexing the documents requires 4 steps, which are 
already prepared byBireme, i.e. : /index.sh, commit.sh, optimize.sh, 
deletedocs.sh./

-Documents coming from an OAI-PMH (presented last Tuesday) can be 
indexed, along with documents produced by ISIS databases (with PFT).

-Using the configuratoin filen /solrconfig.xml, also provided by/ 
BIREME, the process creates the document file indexed by Lucene/Solr.

-The interface iAHx is written in PHP and allows showing the results of 
searches in the traditional way but with added concept-based groups 
(clusters).

-In order for iAHx to communicate with the indexes of Lucene/Solr, three 
modules provided by Bireme have to be installed, i.e. /iahx-server, 
iahx-controller, iahx-opac/. The server needs to have Tomcat installed 
for java servlets but also can work with Apache/PHP version.

-The installation can be done in Windows, only the .sh scripts of Linux 
have to be converted to Windows .bat scripts.

-At this momento, the documentation is in Portugese, but it will be 
translated into other languages before the end of the year.
