Creating Indices at the VO Level

The Indexing procedure refers to the creation of indices for the collections imported in a Virtual Organization. It consists of three steps:

• Creation of the Rowset XSLT generic resources, that transform collection data into data that can be fed to an Index.
• Creation of the Index type generic resources, that define the Index configuration.
• Definition of an IRBootstrapper job that will perform the steps required to create the Indices.

In the first two steps we create generic resources for the Rowset XSLTs and Index Types through the Resource Management portlet . You can find detailed descriptions for the Rowset XSLT definitions in the following sections:
