Wayfinding

What you can build

PLAS supplies where a copy stands and where the branch is. The map of the library itself belongs to the client.

Typical flow

1. The client reads the branch, the sections and the shelfmark for the copy from GetHoldings.
2. The client reads the branch's coordinates and its section types from GetLocations.
3. The client places the material on its own map of the library.

What the API provides

• coordinates gives the branch's latitude and longitude, and radius: how far in metres the branch extends.
• The specification has no positions inside a branch. A map of floors and shelves has to come from the client.
