[VuFind-General] FW: OAI definition

[Stamatis R. <sra...@ek...>]

  If I understand correctly, the only way to import data in VUFind is to use
the MARC Import Tool from the command line (./import.sh records.marc). There
is no way to harvest records from an OAI server (or through Z39.50
protocol). To access the imported data, you can set up an OAI server, use
OpenSearch or Solr. But there is only one way to import data, no other mean
of harvesting records. Correct me if I am wrong.

Stamatis - the OAI module in VuFind is not a harvester.  The current
implementation is a server - so others can harvest your records.  Im not
sure this is fully functional as there has been little interest behind this.

We do have an OAI importer on our todo list - but don't have one yet.  If
you are interested in developing this feature - let me know.
