Planet Digital Repository
http://ants.etse.urv.es/planetdr/

The URV Educational Content Repository is a content server that implements the ECL protocol using web services. It is based on the repositories interoperability stardard: IMS DRI. This website acts as a client of the different web services provided by the content repositories that implemement their services from ECL. The ECL functions implemented by the URV's web services consist of search service, submit service and request service. There are different types of search, first, the quick search, that allows to ask for contents that verify in any field of the associated meta-data the wished word. The advanced search consists of two types: search by main meta-data category, where any field of a LOM meta-data category could be specified. The second type is accumulated search, that allows to make search on any field, linking together conditions of different LOM categories. It is possible to invoke the web services provided by the URV, or the web services implemented by any active content servers. It is also possible to invoque a feredated search, (a simulated gather service) linking together the results of the requests of all the active content servers. In the future we plan to create a decentralized peer-to-peer repository linking heterogeneus ECL-compliant content servers. It will be based on related projects such as Dermi and PlanetSim. This will be added to Academic Resources 2005 Internet MiniGuide.
