[edit] OAI Components

DLXS provides components for harvesting OAI records from data providers, OAI-enabling records from within or outside the DLXS system, and transforming and normalizing harvested OAI records into BibClass.

• For more information on OAI and the Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH), see the official site.
• For best practices related to OAI, see the Best Practices wiki.
• You can download a non-DLXS version of the harvester and provider at SourceForge. You can download the DLXS version of the harvester, provider and transformer at OAI Tools Package.
• DLXS hosts the OAIster project, as well as other OAI test portals (MODS, Aquifer, DLF).

[edit] OAI Harvester

This document details how to run the harvester (UMHarvester) used for harvesting OAI records from data providers.

[edit] OAI Provider

This document details how to use the OAI-PMH 2.0 provider Perl module (UMProvider) and the generic data loading script (LoadOai.pl), in order to make your metadata available to the world (become an OAI data provider).

[edit] OAI Transform

This document describes how to transform and normalize harvested records into BibClass. It also describes conditioning that takes place to transcode from Latin-1 to UTF-8, and to handle ISO Character Entity Reference Mapping, Numeric Character Reference Mapping, and miscellaneous character problems.
