- Create self-description metadata for data web
- Check DSpace OAI harvesting project http://www.oclc.org/research/projects/dspace/default.htm
- "OCLC Research will periodically harvest OAI-compliant metadata from the institutional repositories of interested DSpace users. OCLC Research will convert the harvested metadata into a format suitable for re-harvesting by non-OAI services."
- Check http://pkp.sfu.ca/?q=harvester
- "The PKP OAI Harvester allows you to create a searchable index of the metadata from Open Archives Initiative (OAI)-compliant archives"
- Check http://www.openarchives.org/pipermail/oai-implementers/2006-May/001609.html
- "We are about to release a completely redeveloped version of the PKP Metadata Harvester (http://pkp.sfu.ca/pkp-harvester/). Features will include: Ability to harvest OAI metadata in a variety of schemas (will come with uDC, MODS, and MARCXML).
- "Ability to perform granular harvesting using setSpec and timestamps. Ability to perform post-harvest and pre-indexing filtering/normalization on metadata. Ability to theme user interface and add plugins for extending
functionality. Searching is highly scalable (creates an inverted index for searching). We're just finishing up some last minute internal testing and documentation (technical document and administrator's guide). I'll post to this list when it is available, which should be by the end of this month. The Harvester is a PHP application with a MySQL backend, and we are working on adding postgres support."
- Check http://www.openarchives.org/pipermail/oai-implementers/2006-May/001610.html
- "Knowledge Integration Ltd (www.k-int.com) maintain a complete open source (GPL) solution to your requirement.
It is a portal solution which aggregates OAI data sources and presents them for searching under a single search point (It also allows inclusion of distributed resources (e.g. srw, sru z39.50). Harvests are re-executed incrementally at a user defined intervals. It is used in a variety of projects in the UK including the UK wide peoples network discover service (www.peoplesnetwork.gov.uk/discover). This aggregates numerous cultural OAI feeds for the UK Museums, libraries and archives and presents them alongside live searchable targets in a single search interface. Drop me a line off list if you would like more info. Hope this helps Rob Tice"
- Logo for project T-Shirts: David has drafted a logo.
