Part 1: Projects and Background
5
finc amsl index administration interface 2011 - 2013 : Project finc development of resource discovery systems based on VuFind for 11 university libraries in Saxony integration of heterogeneous data sources as well as Ex Libris’ Primo Central index first finc catalogue went live in March 2012 establishment of the finc user community in September 2015
6
finc amsl index administration interface development of an electronic resource management system based on the editor OntoWiki and linked data technologies management of contracts, licences, holdings, contact details in RDF integration of external bibliographic and organisation data amsl went into live operation in 4th quarter of 2014 2013 contd : Project amsl
7
finc amsl index administration interface licence for Primo Central was to expire mid-2015 evaluation of the index led to the question: Is it possible, with moderate expense and with no qualitative or quantitative restrictions, to build an aggregated index on our own? 2014 : Reconsidering the aggregated index
8
finc amsl index administration interface motivation and goal: greater transparency and more options for action ●sources ●quality ●indexing ●processes ●currentness ●coverage 2014 : Reconsidering the aggregated index

finc amsl index administration interface Q3 / Q4 2014 evaluation of available metadata sources, preliminary talks with providers January 2015 decision to build our own aggregated index Q1 / Q2 2015technical realisation April 2015 go live 2014 contd : Project finc AI - aggregated index
10
finc amsl index administration interface 2016 : Index administration using amsl 20 participating libraries 70 metadata sources 5000 collections ⇒ complex administration ⇒ amsl as management backend for the index
