Search API

An API for searching DOMS needs to be provided.

Two possibilities exist

Using GSearch - http://defxws2006.cvt.dk/fedoragsearch/
- Pros: Easily set up, simple interface
- Cons: Searches on a one-fedora-object basis
Using Summa - https://gforge.statsbiblioteket.dk/projects/summa
- Pros: Searches on entire metadata records
- Cons: Difficult to setup, more complicated interface

Probably, Summa is the best bet.

Summa webservice search interface WSDL extract:

   <element name="simpleSearch">
    <complexType>
     <sequence>
      <element name="query" type="xsd:string"/>
      <element name="numberOfRecords" type="xsd:int"/>
      <element name="startIndex" type="xsd:int"/>
     </sequence>
    </complexType>
   </element>
   <element name="simpleSearchResponse">
    <complexType>
     <sequence>
      <element name="simpleSearchReturn" type="xsd:string"/>
     </sequence>
    </complexType>
   </element>
   <element name="simpleSearchSorted">
    <complexType>
     <sequence>
      <element name="query" type="xsd:string"/>
      <element name="numberOfRecords" type="xsd:int"/>
      <element name="startIndex" type="xsd:int"/>
      <element name="sortKey" type="xsd:string"/>
      <element name="reverse" type="xsd:boolean"/>
     </sequence>
    </complexType>
   </element>
   <element name="simpleSearchSortedResponse">
    <complexType>
     <sequence>
      <element name="simpleSearchSortedReturn" type="xsd:string"/>
     </sequence>
    </complexType>
   </element>

Result will be of the form

       <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
       <searchresult filter="..." query="..."
                     startIndex="..." maxRecords="..."
                     sortKey="..." reverseSort="..."
                     fields="..." searchTime="..." hitCount="...">
         <record score="..." sortValue="...">
           <field name="recordID">...</field>
           <field name="shortformat">...</field>
         </record>
         ...
       </searchresult>
