OnFire Project Description
OnFire is an extension to Fez. OnFire is being developed in support of the OnRamp project for NSDL. Fez is a project under continuing development at University of Queensland Library.
OnFire facilitates the distribution of record content to destinations. Destinations are generated results based on distributed content from one or more records combined into a result that can be in various formats including, but not limited to, text, html, and rss feeds. Destination results are accessed through a URL.
