Collections List

The Numishare Superadmin panel allows Tomcat users of the 'numishare-admin' role the authority to create and delete collections, as well as perform CRUD and publication operations on individual projects. The admin panel is accessible at http://servername:8080/orbeon/numishare/admin/. Note: The admin panel can not be placed behind an Apache proxy.

When logging into the Superadmin panel, a list of existing Numishare collections will be displayed, if any. The administrator has the ability to create new collections by clicking on the "Add Collection" link. If there are collections, the Actions column of the Collections List table will contain the options to edit the collection or delete it. Deleting a collection is irreversible, so it is advised to create a backup first. Editing a collection switch the Superadmin interface to the Project Admin interface. After entering the required information and clicking the "Create" button, the XForms engine will create the collection in eXist-db, upload the configuration XML file, and upload a few XQuery scripts that are necessary for aggregating NUDS/XML files for various Numishare APIs.

Creating a Collection

By clicking the "Add Collection" link, a web form will appear with a series of required inputs. The Tomcat role input should be a role that has been created in the Tomcat Authentication instructions. It is advisable that the collection name is the same as the Tomcat role to avoid confusion. This input will create an XML collection by this name in the eXist database.

Boilerplate

The collection title and description, in addition to rights metadata are required.

URLs

The public site URL will be the URL for the web-accessible public interface for the project. By default, this will be http://servername:8080/orbeon/numishare/{projectname}. Apache mod_proxy can be used to create a clean URI for the project, e. g., http://numismatics.org/ocre/ is a proxy for http://numismatics.org:8080/orbeon/numishare/ocre/. The solr-published field is the URL of the Numishare core of Solr. It usually not necessary to change this, but it does enable Solr to be deployed on a different server than Orbeon/Numishare. The absolute path field should point to the location on the server where the Numishare Github repository has been cloned. This is only used for the uploading of necessary XQuery scripts into the eXist-db collection.
