Implementation Guide
Welcome to the COAR Notify Implementation Guide!
This Implementation guide is being actively developed to support the community of developers either considering or actively implementing COAR Notify. However, anyone else with an interest in the COAR Notify Initiative may also find this handbook informative.
Components of the COAR Notify Protocol
The COAR Notify Protocol specifies:
Notification Patterns
Notification Patterns (templates) describe the payload for re-usable notifications. These notifications describe the individual linked data notifications sent between repositories and services, one or more of which may be used in a scenario.
Notify notification patterns are more specific implementations of the generic patterns described by Event Notifications in Value-Adding Networks.
Vocabulary
A Vocabulary is provided to give values for certain properties in the notification payloads.
Workflows
Workflows which describe a particular set of notifications used by a service to provide a service, typically involving a repository system.
The COAR Notify Protocol is described in detail, with examples, in the specification section.
