Welcome to the Admin Area of the <CDSNAME>. You'll find here pointers
to the available runtime admin-level interfaces and admin-level guides
on how to configure and run the CDSware system.
<p>CDSware comes as a suite of several more or less independent
modules. You'll find brief descriptions for each admin module below.
(More background information on each module may be read in the <a
href="<WEBURL>/hacking/modules.html">modules overview</a> article.)
<h3>Admin HOWTO guides</h3>
<p><a href="howto/">Admin HOWTO Guides</a> give you you both short and
not-so-short recipes and thoughts on some of the most frequently
encountered administrative tasks. They tend to answer various
admin-level questions of a rather general level. The specific tasks
are better addressed by module-specific guides and interfaces
presented below.
<h3>Data acquisition related modules</h3>
<p>The metadata input into a running CDSware system can be done in two
ways: <em>(i) admin-oriented batch mode</em>,
i.e. <strong>BibHarvest</strong> to get data from OAI repositories,
<strong>BibConvert</strong> to convert any input data into XML MARC,
and <strong>BibUpload</strong> to upload XML MARC files into CDSware;
and <em>(ii) author-oriented interactive mode</em>,
i.e. <strong>WebSubmit</strong> to submit documents via Web. Once the
data are uploaded in CDSware, you may want to modify them via
<strong>BibEdit</strong> to edit the metadata.

<tr>
<td>
<strong>BibHarvest Admin</strong>
</td>
<td>
Enables you to configure OAI metadata harvestor for eventual periodical
batch upload of data. For example, you can define from where to
harvest, with what periodicity, how to transform data before
uploading them into CDSware, etc.

<tr>
<td>
<strong>BibConvert Admin</strong>
</td>
<td>
Explains how to use bibliographic data convertor. Useful for batch
upload of data. For example, when migrating the metadata from
your old system, or when integrating metadata acquisitions from
non-OAI sources, or just about any line-based
not-so-well-structured metadata.

For example, you can define which metadata fields should be submitted for various
doctypes, what to do with the inputted values before uploading,
possible peer review and approval strategy, etc.

<h3>Data provision related modules</h3>
<p>The metadata output from a running CDSware system to the end-user
is covered by several modules: <strong>BibIndex</strong> to index the
metadata, <strong>BibRank</strong> to eventually rank them,
<strong>BibFormat</strong> to format them for the output,
<strong>WebSearch</strong> to provide search interfaces and search
engine.

</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<strong>BibIndex Admin</strong>
</td>
<td>
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. For example, you can
define that the logical author index is constructed from physical
<code>100 $a</code> and <code>700 $a</code> bibliographic tags, you
can force reindexing of the fulltext index, etc.

<strong>BibFormat Admin</strong>
</td>
<td>
Enables you to specify how the bibliographic data is presented to
the end user in the search interface. 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, etc.

collections. You can define new collections and organize them in
the tree, you can define various portalboxes that would appear on
the screen, you can define search options and search fields to
present, etc.

<h3>Personalization related modules</h3>
<p>The CDSware interface can be personalized to suit different needs
of different end-users. This functionality is covered by several
modules: <strong>WebSession</strong> to identify users and their
personal configurations, <strong>WebBasket</strong> to provide
personal baskets or document carts, and <strong>WebAlert</strong> to
set up personal email notification alerts.
