LibDB

Fri, 2007-03-02 08:16 — ahankinson

As a project for one of my courses, I have decided to update the Drupal module LibDB to attempt to come up with a fully-functioning FRBR digital library implementation. Obviously this is a very large job, but it is one that I feel I can commit to over the long term (and not just the duration of the course.)

As of right now, I've gotten it working (mostly) on Drupal 5, and have been working on a database model that would fully implement the FRBR 'standard' as outlined by the original IFLA document. LibDB was abandoned (or at least put on the back burner) by its original creator, and much of it is left to do.

I have a fairly good knowledge of the internals of Drupal, but lack a good sense of programming practices. (I could do it, but it would a) be a slow process and b) be inefficient and sloppy code.) If you're interested in getting involved in this, get in touch with me: andrew(dot)hankinson at gmail(dot)com.
