Description: Solr brightens the information retrieval world, building on top of the popular and scalable Lucene search engine. Solr features caching, replication, faceting, highlighting, spellchecking, and much more, and integrates easily into any environment. This workshop will begin with what Solr is, explain the concepts of Lucene (documents, fields, terms), and demonstrate installing, configuring and using Solr from various environments and datasets. We'll see how Solr has been leveraged in the scholarly/library worlds in Erik's work on Collex and Blacklight, and explore interactively the specific scenarios the participants have, such as indexing TEI and MARC data. |
