Open Source OPAC
Rapi is yet another open-source OPAC project. It uses Lucene and Ruby like most of the projects do.
Rapi is an open-source project of the WING group in the School of Computing, National University of Singapore licensed under the MIT license. Rapi provides an OPAC package that allows you to:Build a Lucene index from your MARC filesScreen scrape live circulation data from your own iii OPACWrap your OPAC with a customizable user interface
The user interface packaged with Rapi has been tested with Firefox 2 and 3 as well as Internet Explorer 7. The user interface supports a variety of features including tabs, an overview+details view, and a suggestion bar among many others. Note that although the user interface supports query suggestions, the package currently does not provide any suggestion modules. With that said, if you do have query suggestion modules, they can be easily integrated with the package. As an example, our live demo incorporates a spelling suggestion module.
