The X-Server in Sakaibrary's Metasearch Service
The following diagram depicts a client using Sakaibrary's (planned) Metasearch Service within Sakai. This particular diagram shows the Sakaibrary Metasearch Service being built on top of the MetaLib X-Server and using an implementation of the O.K.I. Repository OSID to store persistent data. The underlying metasearch tool could be something other than the MetaLib X-Server, such as SIRSI SingleSearch. The functionality of the other metasearch tool would replace the MetaLib X-Services with its own services in the following diagram.
The MetaLib X-Server services are briefly detailed in the diagram - please see the /wiki/spaces/SLIB/pages/2921168923 page for more details.
