Release Notes

Introduction

Development of the OLE application began in 2010, and the design phase is scheduled to continue through 2012, with ongoing development and releases thereafter. The OLE Roadmap and Implementation Schedule has more information about the release plans and is updated as needed to reflect changes as they occur.

OLE 0.3 is the demonstration release of the software. OLE 0.3 is a milestone release, intended to showcase progress on system design and technology infrastructure to support future document and library formats, but with a focus on selection and acquisitions for now. It is not intended to be a complete, functional system yet.

Please refer to the documentation below for more information.

Roadmap Release Narrative

OLE 0.3 Narrative Overview

The 0.3 Narrative Overview contains release documentation from Kuali Days 2011. It includes:

Overview of user stories/ translations of KFS
Acquisition processes through OLE
OLE's Document Store for bibliographic records
e-Documents for workflow searches
KFS Translation goals

OLE Document Store

The OLE technical architecture includes a Document Store (Docstore) for the management of library resource descriptions – including bibliographic and localized item descriptions (for OLE 0.3) and other document types in future releases. Docstore technology allows for the storage of multiple formats for both standardized, structured content, e.g., MARCXML and Dublin Core, and unstructured content, e.g., tables of content, licenses in Word or PDF. In the future, the addition of new document types will only require re-configuration of the Docstore rather than the restructuring of a relational database structure.

The Docstore links documents (both within and across document types) according to pre-defined business rules, and Solr/Lucene allows for indexing and retrieval across multiple document types/formats. Docstore also provides for version control, and OLE 0.3 allows users to either edit documents with a proof-of-concept editor or checkout documents for editing. Future releases will support document check-in as well as a full range of audit controls.

In OLE 0.3, the Docstore is prepopulated with bibliographic data in MARC and Dublin Core formats and a few Item descriptions in a legacy system format.
As part of the acquisitions lifecycle, bibliographic and localized resource descriptions are either ingested from selections made on vendor web sites and linked to financial eDocs or are created from scratch using an editor that is available via financial eDoc data entry screens.
