Ole Husby, BIBSYS
This statement describes in detail how a Z39.50 product conforms to
NorZIG Z39.50 Profile Version 2
(http://www.bibsys.no/norzig/profiles/profile2.html)
and to
NorZIG Holdings Profile version 2
(http://www.bibsys.no/norzig/profiles/holdings2.html)
|
|
This form may be used to describe
two different product types:
|
|
|
Z39.50 target software: The capabilities of the software as
such should be described, regardless of whether a certain
option is actually used in a specific implementation or not.
|
|
|
Z39.50 target service: If the target offers access to
more than one database, it may be necessary to fill
in more than one form, depending on the diversity of the databases.

|
1A. Common Requirements
Protocol Version
|
Targets (Servers) and Origins (Clients) must support
ISO 23950 i.e. Z39.50-1995 Version 3
|
Y
|
Attribute Sets
|
Targets and Origins must support the Bib-1 attribute set,
(i.e., process requests and responses that contain the OID for Bib-1).
|
Y
|
|
Targets and Origins must support the Bib-1 Diagnostic set.
|
Y
|
Initialisation Facility
|
Targets may limit access to Origins based on ID/Authentication
parameters UserID and Password. In case of denial, the Target
must return a diagnostic from the Bib-1 diagnostic set, in the
range 1010 to 1023.
|
Y
|
|
Targets may limit access to Origins based on IP
authentication. In case of denial, the Target must return a valid
Init response with the following diagnostic from the BIB-1
diagnostic set, 1016: “Init/AC: Blocked network address”.
|
Y
|
Termination Facility
|
Targets and Origins must
support the Close Service.
|
Y
|
ExplainLite Facility
|
Targets should return an ExplainLite XML document with
configuration information in response when requested to do so as
part of an Init Request.
|
Y
|
|
Targets should additionally make the same ExplainLite XML
document available on a web server.
|
N
|
Character Set
Targets and origins must support ISO 8859-1:1998 Latin-1.
This applies to character data within:
|
Parameters of type InternationalString
|
Y
|
|
Terms within search requests, scan requests and scan responses
|
Y
|
|
NORMARC, SUTRS and XML records
|
Y
|
1B. Bibliographic Search and Retrieval
|
Targets must support the Search service and the Present
service as specified in this functional area.
|
Y
|
|
Additionally, targets should support the Scan service as
specified in this functional area.
|
N
|
Search Service
|
Targets and Origins must support Query-type Type-1, i.e. RPN.
|
Y
|
|
Targets must support the Database-names "default"
and "xxdefault". In the case when a target includes
a database that to some degree is an aggregation of logical sub-databases,
it is recommended that these default names should designate this particular database.
|
Y
|
|
Targets must support the Result-set-name parameter and
should attempt to retain at least two named result sets for the
duration of a session, if the Origin names at least two result sets.
|
Y
|
|
A Z39.50 Origin must supply values for the Bib-1 attribute
types Use and Structure. The Origin should supply values
for the remaining four Bib-1 attribute types.
|
Y
|
|
Targets must interpret (i.e. neither ignore nor substitute)
the values supplied for all of those attribute types, which are
submitted in a given query.
|
Y
|
Targets must support the following values for Relation-, Truncation-, Completeness-
and Position- attributes:
|
Relation = 3 i.e. equal
|
Y
|
|
Truncation = 100, i.e. do not truncate
|
Y
|
|
Completeness = 1, i.e. Incomplete subfield
|
N
|
|
Position = 3, i.e. Any position in field
|
N
|
|
If one or more of those four attribute types are missing in a
query, the Target may choose to substitute the values given above
as default values for the missing attribute type - or reject the
incomplete query with the following diagnostic from the Bib-1
diagnostic set, 123: "Unsupported Attribute Combination".
|
Y
|
The following Structure attribute values
must be supported together with relevant Use attributes:
|
Phrase = 1 (e.g. "frühstück einer langschläferin")
|
Y
|
|
Word = 2 (e.g. "langschläferin")
|
Y
|
|
Year = 4 (four digits, e.g. "1994")
|
Y
|
Name normalised = 101
(last name, first name(s), e.g. "bringsværd, tor åge")
|
Y
|
Name un-normalised = 102
(first name last name, e.g. "tor åge bringsværd")
|
N
|
Note that in the case of Name normalised, the required syntax is
last name, first name(s). Any spaces between
the comma and the first name must be ignored by the Target.
|
Y
|
Targets must support the following combinations of Bib-1 attributes:
| Name | Use |
Rel | Pos |
Struct | Trunc |
Compl |
|

The requirement to support an attribute combination is not
absolute, but should only apply in the case when the data type
corresponding to the use attribute is present in the database. If
not, the target must fail the search, and return the following
diagnostic from the Bib-1 diagnostic set, 114: "Unsupported
use attribute".
|
Y
|
|
Targets are recommended to support additional combinations
enumerated in the Bath Profile V1 requirements for Level-1
Bibliographic Search and Retrieval.
|
N
|
Present Service
Targets must support the following types of Preferred-record-syntaxes:
|
SUTRS
|
Y
|
|
NORMARC
|
Y
|
|
MARC21
|
N
|
For each of these record syntaxes, targets must support the following
Element-set-names(ESN):
|
Please indicate support for a given Element-set-name for each of the
record syntaxes S (SUTRS), N (NORMARC), and M (MARC21)
|
S
|
N
|
M
|
|
F for Full, e.g. all available bibliographic elements.
Targets should include summary Holdings data in the records,
if this information is available (e.g. MARC21 fields 85x and 86x)
|
Y
|
Y
|
Y
|
|
B for Brief, e.g. Author, Title and Publication date.
|
Y
|
Y
|
Y
|
|
R for Reduced, i.e. same bibliographic information as
F but without any Holdings data.
|
Y
|
Y
|
Y
|
|
When holdings data elements are supplied as part of a
bibliographic record, they must conform to the NorZIG Holdings

|
The requirement to support an attribute combination is not
absolute, but should only apply in the case when the data type
corresponding to the use attribute is present in the database. If
not, the target should fail the scan, and return the following
diagnostic from the BIB-1 diagnostic set, 114: "Unsupported

|
N
|
|
Target must support Step-size = 0, i.e. "do not skip any
entries" and Position-in-response = 1.
|
N
|
|

1C. Holdings Information Search and Retrieval
Search service
|
Targets must support the Use

|
N
|
Present service
|
Targets must support Level-1 Holdings
|
Y
|
|
and should support Level-2 Holdings
|
N
|
Level-1 Holdings

|
Y
|
|
Level-1 Retrieval of Holdings information is initiated by a
Present Request where Record syntax = NORMARC or = MARC21 and ESN = B1.
|
Y
|
Level-2 Holdings
|
The Summary bibliographic level holdings must be returned
within an XML structure corresponding to the Z39.50 Holdings XML
Schema for Element Set B2.

|
|
Level-2 Retrieval of Holdings information is initiated by a
Present Request where Record syntax = XML and ESN = B2.
|
N
|
1E. Cross-domain Search and Retrieval

|
The requirements for Functional Area B search service all
apply, except the support of the attribute combinations.
|
N
|
For the Cross-domain search, Origins
and Targets must support the following combinations of Bib-1

Present service
|
Dublin Core metadata elements are encoded according to the
DC/RDF XML specification.
|
N
|
|
The metadata will correspond to the Reduced (R) Element Set
Name described in the Present Service specification in functional
area B.
|
N
|
|
The DC/RDF XML information must be returned in response to a
Present Request where Record Syntax = XML and Element Set
Name = R. For the purpose of alignment with the ONE-2 profile,
a Present Request where Record Syntax = XML and Element Set
Name = F should be treated in the same way, however without
holdings data.
