Having no luck finding examples or documentation that use such a mechanism, I thoughtI Would ask this list:
Is it possible for the output of one disseminator to be fed as input (a param) to another disseminator? I have only begun working with Fedora and find myself wanting to do this. For example: having a disseminator based on the Fedora Research Index Search (risearch) produce xml from a query and feed that xml to a disseminator based on XSLT to process it and output a web page. If it is possible, are there any drawbacks to doing it? (performance or otherwise) If it is not possible, what are my options for such an operation? Would I need to code external web service where I could use the REST API to make the query and manipulate the result? Which seems like overkill in a lot of cases where I just would like to create friendly html output that non-technical people could use to see certain data about a collection's objects. I would rather not statically code the results of such a risearch query into a XML Datastream in the object which would then need to be kept in sync with the object if it changes. (This is how something like this is done in the Image Collection demo that distributes with Fedora - a static LIST datastream exists that is then fed to and XSLT disseminator to create a web page.) Thanks in advance for any answers to someone fairly new to Fedora. -- Jon Gibson -- University of Texas Libraries ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Own the Future-Intel® Level Up Game Demo Contest 2013 Rise to greatness in Intel's independent game demo contest.
