Agenda

Let's talk about OAI-PMH  

For many institutions, the OAI-PMH interface is a key feature of DSpace, sometimes even a central driver for establishing an institutional repository.

This interface enables your repository to provide metadata to Initiatives such as OpenAIRE, RIOXX, SHARE, DART Europe, BASE-SEARCH and OAISTER (now part of WorldCat) 

Even though the protocol has been stable for many years, the DSpace implementation has evolved. The most important milestone was a complete rewrite of the DSpace OAI code back in DSpace 3, where also a web UI was added so administrators can easily preview results exposed through this interface: http://demo.dspace.org/oai/request?verb=Identify

Despite the popularity and the massive uptake of this feature, a number of issues remain to be addressed by the DSpace community.

Friedrich Summann will join us in this call, representing the perspective of BASE-SEARCH, a large scale OAI-PMH harvester. He will share a number of issues that are consistently coming up while trying to harvest old and new installations of DSpace.

The goal of the discussion is that we clearly identify and list issues affecting the OAI-PMH implementation of DSpace and that we identify those use cases to make OAI-PMH in DSpace even more user friendly for Repository managers and external harvesters.

Update: Future of the DSpace User Interface

 Tim Donohue will bring us up to speed on the latest news concerning the future of DSpace UI.

Preparing for the call

Let's talk about OAI

Consider following questions in preparation of the call:

  • What harvesters is your repository registered with?
  • Which issues did you experience in the registration process with these harvesters?
  • Which issues do you continue to experience while being harvested?
  • Is there anything you wish to configure/customize, but that you are currently unable to, due to a lack of functionality or documentation?
  • Are there any open OAI-PMH related issues in JIRA that we still need to resolve?
