How can we improve Alma?

← Alma

Allow **** or Python plugins for normalization rules

The Drools framework in place for normalization rules is very limited compared to real programming script languages like **** or Python. Live would be way easier, much more efficient and some things impossible with Drools would be possible with **** (like in SFX parsers) or Python for those who can use these languages.

Alma now supports XSL normalization rules, expanding its capabilities beyond the existing DROOLS support. This addition enables more advanced and intricate data normalization. For detailed information on using XSL normalization rules, please refer to the May 2025 release notes available at: https://knowledge.exlibrisgroup.com/Alma/Release_Notes/2025/Alma_2025_Release_Notes

    I agree that we should have a script language. Drools is way too limited...

  • Ulrich Leodolter commented  · 

    I would prefer modern scripting language like LUA.

    Perl is the wrong choice for this task.
