Re: [VuFind-Tech] OAI-PMH and DOAJ - V1.4

[Demian K. <dem...@vi...>]

Christian,

The issue here is that when the documentation was originally written, DOAJ provided a custom response format called doajArticle, and VuFind's harvest implementation took advantage of that to get more detailed information than the normal OAI_DC can provide. Unfortunately, sometime last year, DOAJ switched their software to a different system and dropped support for doajArticle, so that their endpoint only provides the less detailed OAI_DC. There's actually a note at the end of the documentation section about this requesting a new configuration so that we can update the docs (I haven't had time to investigate this personally).

However, the good news is that it appears that work is going on right now to restore the doajArticle format. See this GitHub discussion:

https://github.com/DOAJ/doaj/issues/180

As of right now, I'm still only seeing oai_dc in their ListMetadataFormats response:

https://doaj.org/oai?verb=ListMetadataFormats

However, it sounds like they may be rolling out a new version soon that will restore the old functionality. The easiest thing to do may be simply to wait a couple of weeks and try again. If you do find that things are back to normal, let me know and I can remove the warning from the documentation. On the other hand, if this remains broken, or if you need it to work on an urgent timeline, let me know and we can discuss alternatives in more detail.

Subject: [VuFind-Tech] OAI-PMH and DOAJ - V1.4

Hi Vufinders,

could anyone provide me a working copy of doaj.properties, doaj.xsl and
the entry in oai.ini?

I tried the values from vufind.org and I always get two errors (other
tested repositories from the site work):
1.  Namespace prefix xsi for schemaLocation on dc is not defined
(although it's there: <oai_dc:dc
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.openarchives.org/OAI/2.0/
http://www.openarchives.org/OAI/2.0/OAI-PMH.xsd">)

2.  Premature end of data in tag metadata line

all my searches on google didn't point on anything I could work with.
I'd be thankful for any hints!

Christian
