XML and RDF (Resource Description Framework)
• Research data
– Dublin Core never intended to describe research data
– RDF and MODS richer descriptions, enables linking between
related resources
• Primo can handle any XML, including RDF/XML and
MODS
• Harvest records from Fedora to Primo
• View in Primo in same format as other content
• Link to export record in RDF or MODS
Videos
• Thumbnail
• Tab
• Play
Video: thumbnail and tab

Rules
Videos: play
• Custom tile containing a .jsp file that embeds video player
• Used jQuery Lightbox
• Lightbox pops up when
– “View Online” tab is clicked
– link on detail tab section is clicked
• Use jwplayer video player
Video: challenges
• Embedding video player in Primo front-end
• Lightbox integration; difficult to re-purpose Primo’s lightbox
• Functional customisation to Primo front-end requires
• programming skills, such as Jquery and Javascript
• increased maintenance effort, e.g. regression testing at
upgrades
Future work
• Statistics and Reporting
– Generating Council of Australian University Librarian (CAUL) statistics
– Item-level statistics through Google Analytics
– Open-source website usage statistics collection services

•
Sitemap for Google and other harvesters
EZproxy to access restricted resources
Primo PDS for multiple authentication sources
