SRW v1.1

The SRW ( S earch/ R etrieve W ebservice) standard allows searching of remote databases.

On receipt of a request (which contains a query), the server returns a response indicating the number of records that matched the query, possibly along with some of those records formatted according to an XML schema that the user requested.

The associated query itself is written in CQL (Common Query Language).
