Replacement of Aleph SDI e-mails and enhancement of RSS

Tags:
Last Updated: Jul 30, 2010 13:28

Description
The official SDI service, p_sdi_01, produces rather basic e-mail output which does not use the newer XSL templates. It is hard to control the formatting of the messages. This service allows the e-mail output to be controlled fully by the library, including the provision of links to the catalogue, lists of items, etc. The RSS feeds are also enhanced to comply with standards more fully.

Allow better customisation of the e-mail output by using a template language or style sheet. (At present the output format is hard-wired in the Perl script, which suits us, but may not suit you.)
