OPAC Library Catalog

When I Googled for "OPAC Data Model" I didn't get any useful up-to-date Results.
The only Data Model-type item was from the link I have described as the Data Domain below.
However, this was written in 1996 and I have updated it appropriately.

This is definitely an interesting area, where a Survey of the current State-of-the-Art would be very worthwhile.
A good deal of attention is being given to Web Services and to ways of linking up different Lending Institutions.
If you are a student given this as an assignment then you are very fortunate and if I can help you, just let me know.

Here are some interesting Links :-
  • Data Domain - Section 4.2 of a book published in 1996
  • Maisson Bisson Blog - interesting discussion about OPAC and Amazon Web Services
  • Standards and the OPAC ILS
  • Wikipedia Entry for OPAC - the Online Public Access Catalog.
