Dear Koha Community Team,
Greetings.
My name is Amit Suwal, and I am the developer of ColonOS, an advanced Library Management and Automated Colon Classification platform based on the principles of Dr. S. R. Ranganathan.
ColonOS has been designed to automate complex classification workflows through:
1. Automated Colon Classification Number Generation
2. PMEST Analysis Engine
3. ACI & PCI Processing
4. Subject Analysis & Notation Building
5. SCNM Shelf Management
6. Library ERP Integration
I believe ColonOS can complement the Koha ecosystem by providing a specialized Colon Classification engine through plugin or API-based integration.
Proposed Collaboration
I would like to explore a partnership model under which:
1. A Koha-compatible ColonOS plugin can be developed.
2. Libraries using Koha can generate Colon Classification numbers automatically.
3. ColonOS APIs can be integrated into cataloguing workflows.
4. Joint technical development and evaluation can be undertaken.
Licensing & Revenue Model
Possible models may include:
1. API Licensing for institutions requiring automated Colon Classification.
2. Revenue-sharing / royalty-based agreements for enterprise deployments.
3. Commercial support and customization services for large institutions.
4. Joint development of advanced classification tools for the global library community.
Benefits for Koha Libraries :-
1. Reduced manual classification effort
2. Faster cataloguing workflows
3. Standardized Colon Classification practices
4. Improved shelf organization
5. Enhanced discoverability of library resources
I would be pleased to demonstrate ColonOS and discuss technical possibilities with the Koha community.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Kind regards,
Amit Suwal
