ONEMercury Integration

Search/discovery for ONEDrive can be exposed in a web interface based on ONEMercury. The interface would let users search for and discover objects. After finding the objects, they would be accessed through ONEDrive.

Saving objects

  • A single object can be added to user defined folders.

  • The user can use the “New folder” option to a new folder and add the first object to it in the same operation.

Figure 3. Saving a single object

  • All of the search results can be added to a folder.

  • It is also possible to add a function to create an RSS or Atom feed for the search results so that the user can be notified when new objects that match the search parameters are added to DataONE.
