The PNX Record
Primo harvests data from a wide range of source databases and formats. This data must be normalized and optimized to facilitate efficient discovery and delivery. The various source formats must be mapped to the Primo normalized XML (PNX) record.
For additional information about the publishing process, refer to the Overview of the Primo Back Office.
The PNX record is created and stored in XML format, using the UTF-8 character set.
The data in the PNX record is organized in sections, each section containing information for a specific purpose. In some cases, the data is duplicated to provide flexibility to the system when it is processing the data.
This section includes:
- PNX Record Sections
- Subfields in the PNX
- The Control Section
- The Display Section
- The Links Section
- The Search Section
- The Facets Section
