 ===== Introduction =====
-VuFind is currently bundled with a standard indexer ([[:solrmarc|SolrMarc]]) that handles MARC records quickly and efficently and a flexible XSLT processor for dealing with XML documents (see [[..:importing_records#xml_records|this page]]).  However, VuFind also has the capability to support any other form of metadata if you are willing to do at least one of two things:

   * write an indexer to get the data into VuFind's index (necessary!)
   * write a "Record Driver" to display that data appropriately within the VuFind interface (optional, if the index-based display meets your needs)

 Writing a custom indexer for other record formats may be done in almost any programming language. Steps to be done:
   * parse record format
-  * map format entities to Solr index fields (see [[:index_schema|the index schema page]] for notes on VuFind's index schema; the MARC mappings in [[https://github.com/vufind-org/vufind/blob/master/import/marc.properties|import/marc.properties]] should be helpful for understanding the meaning of the various fields)
+  * map format entities to Solr index fields (see [[development:architecture:solr_index_schema|the index schema page]] for notes on VuFind's index schema; the MARC mappings in [[https://github.com/vufind-org/vufind/blob/master/import/marc.properties|import/marc.properties]] should be helpful for understanding the meaning of the various fields)
   * create XMLish document out of these fields (see the [[http://wiki.apache.org/solr/UpdateXmlMessages|Solr Wiki]] for details)
   * POST document to Solr's update handler (FYI: it doesn't have to be a POST per se; you can use SOLR/Lucene APIs to add documents directly to the index which is much faster)
