+LUI Solr
+==========================
+A Local Unified Index based on Solr. 
+
+The following is a repackaging of Solr with a specific schema used in the 
+Library domain. The schema follows the pazpar2 data model used in many 
+library configuration and should be able to contain both MARC and Dublin Core 
+data.
+
+The LUI model extends the pazpar2 data model with concept of sub-database (or set), by 
+adding field database (and possible database_name) to the data. Data must not use these
+fields for data. At some point it should be possible to configure which fields to use. 
+
+In addition the field name "id" is defined as unique key to a record in the Solr index. 
+Adding a new record with the same id mean override the old record with new data.
