CollectionsBase
Welcome to CollectionsBase from Orangeleaf Systems Ltd
CollectionsBase enables the aggregation and cross sector search of diverse heritage datasets.
Featuring tranformations into a standards compliant interchange format, this system frees the data held within many of the commonly used Collections Management Systems.
CollectionsBase utilises Apache Lucene technology with a configurable indexing strategy. Terms weighting can be applied, boosting terms on a data source case by case basis.
CollectionsBase comes predefined with an indexing strategy that carefully
balances the relevance algorithms across Archive, HER and Museum records.
The engine is surfaced via an OpenSearch API. The API includes:
- Basic keyword and roles
- Advanced qualified dublin core profile
- Native Lucene query parser to build any complex query
The dataset is also presented as an OAI-PMH 2 repository, allowing set based, domain based and global harvesting of the aggregated datasets.
