CATS Packager Web Service v1.0



A Packager service accepts a list of items (including the data files for the items) and creates a Content Packaging manifest for these items - i.e. an XML file that describes the items and their associated data files. It returns a modified list of items including this manifest.

The original CATS profile identifies which packager service to use and may contain some fixed content to be included within the manifest data.

A Packager service can also provide a function to only create the manifest (ie only returns the data for the manifest) and a utility function to examine generate a list of files referenced within a supplied manifest.

The current CATS implementation of a Packager Service creates a manifest suitable for IMS Content Packaging (v1.1.4). It is a “pool” packager i.e. it creates a pool of items with a simple sequence defined as the order in which the items were retrieved.
