→Jangle: [http://www.jangle.org/ Jangle]
=== Jangle ===
Andrew started by giving us a brief introduction to [http://www.jangle.org/ [Jangle]], a standard approach to building a toolset for interacting with the ILS. It was kickstarted by the DLF ILS API set. The idea is to create a standard way of interacting with the ILS. Jangle is the first implementation of this, and is planned as the "reference implementation." It's an open source standard approach, and will give us a lot of flexibility.
Gabe points out that the DLF standard and the Jangle standard aren't the same thing exactly, but people seem to agree it's still a good start at standardization. Andrew asks, how do we contribute the VuFind drivers to Jangle? Is there an NCIP driver for Jangle? [http://www.extensiblecatalog.org/ Xtensible Catalog] is using NCIP, for example. One problem with this, though, is that many vendors don't implement NCIP.
