Let’s Get Technical
User Interface
Customize the look and feel of your iKNiTO Space website so it will integrate seamlessly with your own institution’s website and can be more intuitive for your users. iKNiTO Space provides two main user interface options: the traditional (JSP-based) interface, and Manakin (XML-based) which provides various “themes” out of the box.
Metadata
Dublin Core is the default metadata format within the iKNiTO Space application. You can add or change any field to customize it for you application. iKNiTO Space currently supports any non hierarchical, flat name space, although it is possible to ingest other hierarchical metadata schemas into iKNiTO Space such as MARC and MODS. This requires using tools such as crosswalk and having some technical capability to map the transfer of data.
Browse and Search
You can decide what fields you would like to display for browsing, such as author, title, date etc. on your iKNiTO Space website. You can also select any metadata fields you would like included in the search interface. All of the text within a given item and metadata associated with the item, are indexed for full text search if desired.
Authentication
iKNiTO Space comes with plugins for most university authentication methods, including: LDAP (and hierarchical LDAP), Shibboleth, X.509, IP-based. In addition, iKNiTO Space comes with its own internal authentication method, or can be configured to use multiple authentication methods at once. You can also build your own authentication plugin if you are using a custom authentication mechanism.
Standards
iKNiTO Space complies with many standard protocols for access, ingest, and export. Standards that iKNiTO Space supports include: OAI-PMH, OAI-ORE, SWORD, WebDAV, OpenSearch, OpenURL, RSS, ATOM.
Database
You can use PostgreSQL for the database where iKNiTO Space manages its metadata.
Language
iKNiTO Space web application is available in over twenty languages including Arabic. So if English is not your local language, you can customize the language which iKNiTO Space uses. You can also configure iKNiTO Space to support multiple languages, so that the language your user sees is the ‘preferred language’ set in their web browser.
