How to create query URL that will dynamically compose RSS feed URL

[maricel cordero]

We have a university client that we need to link their DSPACE repository to  our application so we can search data from them.

I read from here (https://jira.duraspace.org/secure/attachment/10740/opensearch.txt) that I it is possible to dynamically compose an RSS feel URL.

I am looking for output similar to this format:

http://www.dspace.com/rsssup.xml

Anyone familiar on the synatx of how to create that query URL? Also, should the client DSPACE @open-search@ be enabled for this to work?

Thanks!

The URLs for individual collections/communites have this format:

http://demo.dspace.org/xmlui/feed/rss_1.0/10673/2
http://demo.dspace.org/xmlui/feed/rss_2.0/10673/2
http://demo.dspace.org/xmlui/feed/atom_1.0/10673/2

Whole site:
http://demo.dspace.org/xmlui/feed/rss_1.0/site

Sites usually deploy DSpace at the root URL, so usually it would be
just http://example.com/feed/rss_1.0/site
The URLs are the same both for XMLUI and JSPUI.

I think what I would need is to dynamically create the query URL to the universities DPSACE repository depending on a particular keyword.

Read that the open-search should be enabled for this to be possible.

The format is this:
http://demo.dspace.org/xmlui/open-search/?query=test&start=0&rpp=10&format=rss

This XMLUI endpoint seems to be currently broken. Perhaps you'll find
some clues here:
https://jira.duraspace.org/issues/?jql=project%20%3D%20DS%20AND%20text%20~%20%22opensearch%22


In JSPUI, opensearch seems to work:
http://demo.dspace.org/jspui/open-search/?query=test&start=0&rpp=10&format=rss

http://demo.dspace.org/jspui/open-search/description.xml

Yes, it's off by default.

Thank you for your reply. I just had a discussion with the DSPACE administrators of our client and they are not leaning to enabling the "open-search". Right now I am checking if OAI PHM will work but I am not confident since it does not seem to provide the url parameter for "query".

Could you specify your use case so that we can give you more suitable recommendation? Why is open-search unsuitable? Depending on that, another alternative might be Solr search, but it comes with its own caveats.
