1 Introduction FotoWare Archive Agent Specification FotoWare’s Archive Agent interface is an open standard for making document archives accessible from any other application. The interface was first developed for the FotoWare Portal Server project. FotoWare Portal Server is capable of presenting search results from many archives in a single interface by communicating with the various archives through their archive agents. The archive agent interface also makes it easy for third-party applications to search in archives without writing interfaces to proprietary software. FotoWeb publishes an archive agent for each archive in the system, which makes it very easy for applications that integrate with FotoWeb to find files, get previews and download these files. The interface is based upon known industry standards, which makes it easy to develop both server and client software for this system. Server and client software can be developed in any development language on any platform that supports communication via HTTP and reading of XML documents. The agents communicate with clients via HTTP, and uses standard query string parameters to control the requests. Answers from the agent are delivered as well-formed XML that can be read using any standard XML parser. FotoWare has two software modules that support the Archive Agent interface: • FotoWare Archive Agent ISAPI Module • FotoWeb Enterprise Currently, the Archive Agent is only commercially available through FotoWeb Enterprise.
