searchRetrieve Version 1.0 is a multi-part specification that defines a generic protocol for the interaction required between a client and server for performing searches.
Part 1, the Abstract Protocol Definition (APD) defines a model and a generic protocol for the interaction between a client and server for performing searches. It facilitates interoperability between different search protocols by providing a common framework and terminology for describing these search protocols.The intention is that all search protocols can be regarded as concrete implementations of this definition.
The model presumes that a client and server communicate via a searchRetrieve protocol which incorporates a query language. The APD serves as a guideline for the development of application protocol bindings for specific protocols.
The specification includes bindings for SRU1.2, SRU2.0 and OpenSearch. It specifies one query language, the Contextual Query Language (CQL). The specification also specifies a utility protocol, Scan, allowing a client to request a range of the available terms at a given point within a list of indexed terms, used to select terms for subsequent searching.
SRU1.2 is based on the SRU Specification maintained at the Library of Congress, http://www.loc.gov/standards/sru/ and CQL is based on http://www.loc.gov/standards/sru/specs/cql.html. SRU2.0 is an enhanced version of SRU1.2. SRU and CQL are both based on NISO Z39.50, http://www.loc.gov/z3950/agency/. The OpenSearch binding is intended to be compatible with http://www.opensearch.org/Specifications/OpenSearch/1.1/Draft_5.
