Le groupe de travail du DLF (Digital Library Federation) "ILS Discovery Interface Task Force" a publié un document de recommandations relatives à l'intégration d'applications externes (external discovery applications) avec les Sigb/Opac.

The public interfaces currently provided by most ILS's cannot by themselves meet the demands of users in a world where the availability and sophistication of digital resources and web applications has increased significantly. This does not simply reflect badly designed interfaces; it reflects the fact that users now need a wider variety of capabilities than any one software package can be expected to provide. At the same time, the bibliographic data and services that the ILS manages are crucial for the effective use of libraries. These trends imply that the ILS needs to become a platform that supports appropriate interfaces for discovery applications living on top of it, instead of trying to do everything for the user on its own.
