PublicationOutput 2.5

The PublicationOutput class is used to perform operations on the Publication AND the Publication Output objects in the InfoShare repository.

We are in the process of writing and designing new PublicationOutput 2.5 functions. Currently, PublicationOutput 2.5 API contains only get metadata operations (e.g. GetMetadata, RetrieveMetadata). For all other operations you must still use the Publication 2.0 and the PublicationOutput 2.0 Functions.

Although not all functions are yet available, you should use all available PublicationOutput 2.5 API functions, because they are faster.

Note that:
  • In the Web Services 2.0 it was not possible to get the metadata of the lng level using the Publication20 methods and it was not possible to get only the metadata of publication or publication version object using the PublicationOutput20 methods. In the Web Services 2.5 all levels of a publication can (and must) be accessed by the PublicationOutput 2.5 API. Depending on the given parameters and the requested metadata the correct level will be returned.
