Apps

Here are some sample apps we are either contemplating or are already constructing.

Of course we look forward to this list be supplemented with apps being developed outside of the dev core.

Title	Description	Who	Status
Stackview Widget	Creates visual shelf, including heatmapping, out of platform returns, as well as from Amazon, WorldCat and json data (link)	Annie Cain	prototyped
Library Analytics	Package to display library analytics based on data from the platform	Kim Dulin and	Spec'ed and funded.
Multi-collections search	Search across multiple collections; show results side by side. Toy. (link)	dw	semi-working primitive prototype
Long Tail Browser	Search returns interesting items from the long tail	No further work scheduled	Current version simply returns descending list of unintersting results. Not clear what constitutes interestingness yet.
Reed-Elsevier integration	When searching at R-E, also send the query to the dplaplatform and display the results in a stackview.	Unassigned	-
Zeega	Integrate Zeega. Note when an item is in a Zeega collection? Enable Zeega to use dplatform items in its collections?	Zeega	Zeega has agreed to work on this for Phase 1
Wikipedia book page integration	Generate a list of WP pages about books, and return info about all the books within the same WP categories. Or something else	Paul + ?	We are doing work on finding those WP pages about books. It's hard. Not for phase 1.
Embeddable widget	Small graphic that can be displayed by other sites when DPLA has some info about an item. E.g., a local library could display usage info from the DPLA about books in the local library's collection.	Matt and Paul	Working prototype needs to be tuned to the data in the dplatform
Shelve.me	Bookmarklet that, if used on a book page (Amazon, Google, DPLA search results, a schema.org page, etc.) adds the book to a visual stack. A social site lets users manage and share their shelves.	Matt	Working prototype needs DPLA and schema.org integration.
Linked Data browser	Within a particular domain (probably Art Movements for the prototype) pulls together info about an item across linked data clouds, including DPLA and Europeana. Requires prep work by the developer to massage sources so the results are high quality.	Dan Brickley	Planned for Phase 1
Europeana 2 DPLA	An extremely lightweight app. A toy. Does a search of Europeana via its API. Click on results to look up items in the DPLA that match. Match = the raw string in the Europeana "creator" field is used as a search term in a DPLA keyword search. Displays results as a visual stack. (link)	David	"done"
