Addressing Semantic Interoperability
Identify searching requirements (tasks)
- Two categories of searching: basic, specialized
- Basic: Author, Title, Subject, Keyword, Boolean
- Specialized: ISBN, Call Number, Specific Controlled Vocabulary
Defining the searches (semantics and expected server behavior)
- Exact Title Search -- exact match beginning with first character of first word appearing in the title of an item, in the series title, or the uniform title; right truncation
Specifying Z39.50 query to represent the search
- Standard combination of Z39.50 Attribute Types and Values
