Welcome to the <CDSNAME> Administrator's Area. Here is a short
description of what you can do, from the point of view of a system
librarian, an archive manager, and web interface moderators.
<h2>HOWTOs</h2>
<p>The <a href="howto/">HOWTO guides</a> will give you short recipes
on some of the most frequently encountered administration tasks.
<h2>System Administrator and Librarian</h2>
<p>The System Librarian will describe the metadata, decide upon MARC tags,
etc. He will ensure that there is a homogeneity between various data
types and collections. This is because all the bibliographic data is
stored in the same common space.
<p>The System Administrator configures the system and makes sure everything
is working as it should.
<p>The system administrator and librarian would most probably be interested in the
following administrative modules:
<blockquote>
<dl>
<dt><a href="bibdata/">BibData Admin</a> <small class=note>- partially included</small>
<dd>Enables you to directly manipulate bibliographic data tables.
<br><em>Example:</em> edit record, change fields, simple cataloguing, global changes, etc.
<dt><a href="bibrank/">BibRank Admin</a>
<dd>Enables you to configure various ranking methods to be used by the search engine.
<br><em>Example:</em> Update old or create new ranking methods when records are modified. etc.
<dt><a href="bibwords/">BibWords Admin</a> <small class=note>- not included yet</small>
<dd>Enables you to configure "word files", i.e. to define which
bibliographic fields are indexed into which word indexes. The word
indexes are then used by the search interface. This is an essential
part of the CDSware system if you have some non-standard data
structure. Otherwise, CDSware defines itself some commonly used index
files (author, title, abstract, keywords, etc).
<br><em>Example:</em> you can tell that the author index is
constructed from <code>100 $a</code> and <code>700 $a</code> bibliographic tags.
</dl>
</blockquote>
<h2>Archive Manager</h2>
<p>The Archive Manager will work closely with the
System Librarian and will perform various system tasks like setting up the
data archives, importing other data sources, converting data formats,
etc.
<p>The Archive Manager would most probably be interested in the
following administrative modules:
<blockquote>
<dl>
<dt><a href="bibharvest/">BibHarvest Admin</a> <small class=note>- not included yet</small>
<dd>Enables you to configure OAI data harvestor for eventual
periodical batch upload of data.
<br><em>Example:</em> what to harvest, how to transform data, how
to store them into CDSware, etc.
<dt><a href="bibconvert/">BibConvert Admin</a>
<dd>Explains on how to use bibliographic data convertor. Useful for batch upload of data.
<br><em>Example:</em> migration of data from your old system,
automatic acquisitions of non-OAI data and not-so-well-structured
data, etc.
<dt><a href="bibupload/">BibUpload Admin</a> <small class=note>- not included yet</small>
<dd>Enables you to configure eventual local special operations to be
done on the data being uploaded.
<br><em>Note:</em> This is usually not needed, as all the data
transformation is usually done via <a
href="bibharvest/">BibHarvest</a> and <a
href="bibconvert/">BibConvert</a>.
</dl>

<h2>Web Interface Moderators</h2>
<p>The Web Interface Moderators will work closely with the Archive
Manager and will determine the way how the data is presented to the
end user. They will decide upon output formats, will configure search
pages for different collections, will decide upon submission and
approval policies of various data types, etc.
<p>The Web Interface Moderators would most probably be interested
in the following administrative modules:
<blockquote>
<dl>
<dt><a href="bibformat/">BibFormat Admin</a>
<dd>Enables you to specify how the bibliographic data is presented to
the end user in the search interface. BibFormat is not only a
bibliographic data formatter, but also an external link resolver.
e.g. to propose published version links to publishers' sites.
<br><em>Example:</em> you can decide that titles should be
presented in bold font, that for each author an automatic link to
author's home page should be created according to some receipt, or
that for certain report number a special action should be
performed, etc.
<dt><a href="webaccess/">WebAccess Admin</a> <small class=note>- included</small>
<dd>Enables you to define who has got access or admin rights on various CDSware modules.
<br><em>Example:</em> you can tell that John is the bibliographic
data manager, that Jim can modify search interface pages, that
Jill is submission approval editor, etc.
<dt><a href="websearch/">WebSearch Admin</a> <small class=note>- partially include</small>
<dd>Enables you to configure the search interface for various data collections.
<br><em>Example:</em> you can define different page header,
footer, and portal boxes (left, right, top, bottom) to describe
various data collections. Also, you can define search options,
search fields, and search examples, etc.
<br><em>Note:</em> This is an essential part of the CDSware system, so
you most probably want to configure it.
<dt><a href="websubmit/">WebSubmit Admin</a> <small class=note>- included</small>
<dd>Enables you to configure the submit interface and logic for various data types.
<br><em>Example:</em> you can define metadata fields for various
data types, what to do with the inputted values before uploading,
possible peer review and approval strategy, etc.
<br><em>Note:</em> This is an essential part of the CDSware system, so
you most probably want to configure it.
<dt><a href="webperso/">WebPerso Admin</a> <small class=note>- not included yet</small>
<dd>Enables you to manage user accounts and various user personalisation features
like user-defined baskets and alert queries.
<br><em>Example:</em> you can run and/or stop alerting engine,
clean user and session tables, modfify user baskets, etc.
