Building a PHP code library for Interacting with an Linked Data-based Discovery API - Karen Coombs (OCLC): The WorldCat Discovery API has the typical abilities you’d expect for building your own local discovery world: search access to WorldCat bibliographic and article data, facets, a variety of search indexes, and links to holdings. Because an RDF-based model is fairly new to libraries, we decided we could increase the adaptability of the API by providing a code library that would streamline the development process. This presentation will discuss the process of creating object-oriented PHP code library which would make the semantically rich entities and data available in a fashion that was more familiar to programmers used to working in OO PHP.<br />

In the August 2014, The University of Chicago Library migrated from its legacy ILS to Kuali OLE (Open Library Environment) as an early adopter. At the same time we brought up VuFind as our new discovery layer. This talk will describe the deployment architecture we settled on for both applicationsOLE, including myriad integration integrations points with external systems.
