 ==== 3. Hierarchical / Archival Data in VuFind ==== ==== 3. Hierarchical / Archival Data in VuFind ====
 +
 +Eoghan and Luke are planning to meet up to work on [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-421|VUFIND-421]] and [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-441|VUFIND-441]] in February.  These patches are designed to add support to VuFind for hierarchical relationships between records.
 +
 +Hierarchical data needs to be pulled from different sources in different situations -- i.e. National Library of Ireland uses their ILS for the data via the driver, while other situations will need to pull from external files or other software packages.
 +
 +Development of this functionality for VuFind 1.x will continue, but it should also be ported to 2.0.
 +
 +More links and updated code will be posted to the tickets; please take a look and add your thoughts and comments there.
 +
 +There was some discussion about possibly adding a "hierarchy level" field to the Solr index to allow filtering based on granularity during searching, though this requires more thought since hierarchical levels are not necessarily equivalent across hierarchies.
 +
 +There was also discussion of the difficulty of working with EAD due to different best practices; perhaps a SolrEAD tool is needed to configure indexing differently for different record sets.
 +
 +Luke and Eoghan sense a need for better display of records in the archival community, so once this is all working, it may open a whole new market for VuFind.

 Demian improved the real-time location/call number behavior in the jquerymobile theme as part of his work with [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-494|VUFIND-494]]. Demian improved the real-time location/call number behavior in the jquerymobile theme as part of his work with [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-494|VUFIND-494]].
 +
 +Luke will put cart support for the jquerymobile theme on his long-term to-do list, but it is not a high priority.
 +
 +Luke also suggested using CSS media queries in place of (or in complement to) browser sniffing for the mobile experience -- he recommends [[http://www.alistapart.com/articles/responsive-web-design/|this article]] for an introduction to the concept.
 +
 +Also on the medium-term to-do list: add mobile support to VuFind 2.0.
