What is the Conspectus Database?

The Conspectus Database is a repository for storing collection level metadata about the content of the preservation network. An added benefit of the Conspectus is that it can be used to maintain the title database for LOCKSS.

Data Stored in the Conspectus

Functional data:Data which is needed by LOCKSS. This populates the title database. Non-Functional data:This data isn’t required by LOCKSS, but is useful for the maintainers of the preservation network.

Maintaining the Title Database

There are four required pieces of information for every Archival

Unit. With them, the Title Database can be generated from the

content of the Conspectus. They are: Title Base URL Plugin Identifier Plugin Parameters (Optional)

Walkthrough of the Title Database

The Title Database contains more than just the list of Archival

Units. It also contains global configurations values used by
LOCKSS. Here’s a quick walkthrough of an example Title

Database.

Altering the Conspectus Database

You may wish to add or remove elements from the Conspectus

Database. The interface is abstracted into an XML file with a

corresponding XSL transform that is used to generate the PHP

code. The XML ”formitem” elements each correspond to an

XML(RDF) element and a PHP class. The PHP class is responsible for generating the widgets, mapping their content to the database, and generating the XML(RDF) output. Any of the widgets can be specified to be repeatable.

More Complex Widgets

With a PHP developer, you can add widgets to the Conspectus

Database. Each one is defined as a PHP class and needs to be

able to do the following things: Generate an HTML Interface Map the content to a relational database Generate XML Output
