I agree that that I was not disagreeing then :)
I've put up a quick implementation of what I've proposed:
http://srw.o-r-g.org:8080/ead/?operation=scan&clause=dc.subject%20exact%20in
ternational
This returns links to the Unesco thesaurus used.
In XSL I turn that into a zthes.term exact search.
Which by clicking on, you get the term in the Zthes schema.
This could be done by a more sophisticated client internally to produce
the results that Joe and Jannifer are looking for.
Issues that I've found:
It's impossible to extract the index and relation from
echoedRequest/clause. Either this needs to be transformed into the XCQL
equivalent, or we need to use something like what Ralph suggested of
making the information carried by the relation into a separate parameter.
I favour returning the XCQL as it's easy to pick apart with XSL and we
then don't need to return X/CQL for every term. I think that this could
be done for searchRetrieveResponse/echoedRequest as well, but that's
another story.
