loading database descriptions into web page

Hello again,

Thank you all for your support.  I really don't know how
I've gotten along
without you.

Here is my latest dilemma.  I have someone capable of
writing me a script
that would load database descriptions into a web page for me
similar to
what they have at UMass Amherst
(h
ttp://www.library.umass.edu/cgi-bin/aka/databases.cgi?comman
d=viewdesc&id=5e413c58e05b0c653b4c01b7f85cb881).
  That is, you click on an info button on my alpha list of
databases and a
separate page with a description of one specific database is
populated.
The problem is, I have no idea how to create the link that
would pull the
info from the database description pages, I'm assuming that
part would be
fairly simple though.  Nor do I know how to format the
description page so
it would work with the script.  The person I am working with
said to create
a "dynamic" HTML page, but I'm not sure what that
means.  These days, I
though they were all dynamic.

Do I need to create individual pages for each database
description?  Or is
their a way to create a page with all the database
descriptions and have
the appropriate data pulled depending on which database you
wanted info on?

Does anyone have pages/examples/sites they can share with me
that I could
work from?

Thanks in advance,
Sandy

I'd be interested in the responses, too. I'd like to do
something
similar, but probably on a much smaller scale. I have about
2 dozen
hard-coded HTML pages that I put together for my final
project in
Digital Libraries. Right now I'm thinking I'd like to
replace them
with an XML file that I would search and browse on the fly
with Perl
scripts, but I realize that there's almost always more than
one way to
do something like that, and they don't always scale up.

If you know programming it would be.  What would happen is
your page would 
need to pass a parameter to the database via a SQL query,
which would 
return the data for you and then, using your programming
language of 
choice, you insert into the page.  For example, 

http://library.uncg.edu/dbs/dbs-byletter.asp?showdbs=A

and
http://library.uncg.edu/dbs/dbs-byletter.asp?showdbs=D


you will note are the same PAGE, but based upon the showdbs
parameter the 
content changes.

>  The person I am working with said to create a

I'm not sure what that means.

It means a page capable of interacting with a data source
either directly 
or through a proxy.  You could use ASP, ASP.NET, Java, PHP,
or whatever. 
Heck, you could even use AJAX.

> These days, I though they were all dynamic.

It's a word that's thrown around too much. Remember DHTML
anyone? Anything 
from animation to AJAX to full J2EE or .NET applications can
be called 
"dynamic" based upon what your definition is.

> Do I need to create individual pages for each database
description?  Or 
is their a way to create a page with all the database
descriptions and

you wanted info 
on?

In theory you could do it with one or 2 pages, just using
queries or form 
fields or whatnot to vary the content such as in my above
example.

> Does anyone have pages/examples/sites they can share
with me that I 
could work from?

Are you looking for source code?  It will depend on the
server side 
language used by your org.  But the process should be:

Your page passes a parameter (from a query string or
inputted form fields, 
for example), via a SQL query, into a database view, which
then returns a 
raw data set. Think a table of data here. 

each data element is a name-value variable pair. For
example, 
Database_Name = ACM Digital Library 

You then, again using your language of choice, take that
data and 
dynamically insert it into areas on the page. Like you have
a header area 
set to accept the value of the Database_Name variable.

Hopefully this makes sense spun off in a very stream of
conscious way.  If 
you've any questions just drop me a line and I will do my
best to answer.

Another example, written in PHP:

the a-z list on this page
http://www.libraries.uc.edu/research/articles/ar_all.php


passes a variable to this page:
http://www.libraries.uc.edu/research/articles/ar.php?
rLet=w

Note in the url above, the variable. The code at the top of
the second page queries the database to return a recordset,
with the variable in the sql statement.

The page then takes the recordset and displays it.

Normally, I would say one would (oversimplifying):

1-create database, or xml data page
2-write script to execute query on that data based on user
input
3-write script to display results of #2

Does this help?

Sandra,
   
  You might want to contact UMass Amherst or contact the

In response to Cathy:

I would note that "Dynamic" is NOT a marketing
tool. Dynamic simply refers to pages that are built with
"server side scripting".

HTML, DHTML, javascript, and CSS are NOT server side... they
are client side and are processed by the web browser. For
example if you turn JavaScript off on your browser, it is a
client side change, and you won't see any functionality the
requires it in your browser. On the other hand PHP, Perl,
ASP, and ColdFusion are all server side languages. They
process commands and return HTML to the browser. It happens
something like this:

With a normal page: Client requests page.html, page.html is
sent to persons browser, the browser processes html, css,
and javascript and displays results.

With a dynamic page: Client request page.php, server
processes php commands, php might query the database or
include another file, results of query are sent back to php,
php script into html, html is sent to browser, browser
processes html, css, and javascript and displays results.

Hope that makes sense.

(And for what Sandra wants it is not really the job of the
database providers. She wants to create her own
searchable/sortable database of databases.)

Dear Web4Libbers:

You are absolutely correct Chris, thank you. 

We've been working on creating information-on-demand, as I
like to think of
it, for our patrons.  Currently, it constitutes javascript
and a nice
accessible CSS/XHTML combo to "pop-up" more
information on a database.  The
script is borrowed from Twin Helix (supernote:
http://www.
twinhelix.com/dhtml/supernote/) and can be modified for
more
AJAX-y content (which is what we'll be doing).

I am only testing out the basic concept right now, but at
the end of August
we'll hopefully be plugging in the content from an XML
document.  An example
of the testing is:
http://www.jocob
usiness.net/research

And we'll pull content on demand from XML similar to this
cute little widget
(check the dropdown):
http:
//new.jocolibrary.org/default.aspx?id=2120 (please note
this is a test
site and the link will change on August 15, 2007)

It's a work in progress, but I hope it helps with ideas.
 
We'll probably
use something similar with our federated search program too.
 I have
concerns using javascript for loading content since people
can disable it,
so you may want to consider a server-side script such as PHP
or ASP instead.

AFAIK, "Dynamic" does not imply any particular
method or technology, nor
does it indicate whether the dynamism emanates from the
server or client
side. It is certainly possible to create a very dynamic,
interactive
application using client-side technologies like AJAX, Flash,
XLST and Java.
While these technologies are generally supported on the
server side, it is
possible to create dynamic applications without any
server-side support.

ASP, and ColdFusion are all server side languages. They
process commands and
return HTML to the browser. It happens something like this:

With a normal page: Client requests page.html, page.html is
sent to persons
browser, the browser processes html, css, and javascript and
displays
results.

With a dynamic page: Client request page.php, server
processes php commands,
php might query the database or include another file,
results of query are
sent back to php, php script into html, html is sent to
browser, browser
processes html, css, and javascript and displays results.

Hope that makes sense.

(And for what Sandra wants it is not really the job of the
database
providers. She wants to create her own searchable/sortable
database of
databases.)

web page

Sandra,

  You might want to contact UMass Amherst or contact the
vendors since they
are more direct and the one has what you want to implement.

  The concept "dynamic" is a marketing tool.  When
You hear or see the
acronyms DHTML it is compromised of HTML, CSS, and
javascript it is the
server side.

Hello again,

Thank you all for your support. I really don't know how I've
gotten along
without you.

Here is my latest dilemma. I have someone capable of writing
me a script
that would load database descriptions into a web page for me
similar to what
they have at UMass Amherst
(http://www.library.umass.edu/cgi-
bin/aka/databases.cgi?command=viewdesc&id=
5e413c58e05b0c653b4c01b7f85cb881).
That is, you click on an info button on my alpha list of
databases and a
separate page with a description of one specific database is
populated.
The problem is, I have no idea how to create the link that
would pull the
info from the database description pages, I'm assuming that
part would be
fairly simple though. Nor do I know how to format the
description page so it
would work with the script. The person I am working with
said to create a
"dynamic" HTML page, but I'm not sure what that
means. These days, I though
they were all dynamic.

Do I need to create individual pages for each database
description? Or is
their a way to create a page with all the database
descriptions and have the
appropriate data pulled depending on which database you
wanted info on?

Does anyone have pages/examples/sites they can share with me
that I could
work from?

Thanks in advance,
Sandy
