The org.librarysimplified.analytics.api module provides an event-based
API for logging analytics data.
The application is expected to publish events via the AnalyticsType
interface. Analytics systems wishing to consume the published events
must register implementations of the AnalyticsSystemProvider interface
via ServiceLoader. Registered implementations will then receive all
published events and can handle them as necessary.
Analytics system providers will receive all analytics events logged by the application, but individual system providers are responsible for actually logging or discarding those events. In other words, the set of logged events is typically a superset of the events consumed by registered analytics system providers, because most system providers are used in applications that have privacy policies that exclude the logging of many of the published events.
As a real-life example, the NYPL's SimplyE application has a strong privacy policy that only results in book opened events being logged - all of the other published analytics events are simply discarded.
