[VuFind-Tech] oai-pmh

[Eric L. M. <em...@nd...>]

I have had great success harvesting OAI-PMH metadata and making it available in a VuFind instance. From my blog posting:

  Without undue difficulty I have been able to harvest metadata
  from a ContentDM site via OAI-PMH, index the data in Solr, and
  successfully search & retrieve this metadata in VuFind all for
  the "Catholic Portal". This posting outlines how I did this and
  why it is important...
  
  Why is the important? There are a number of reasons. I believe a
  few of our CRRA members have ContentDM implementations.
  Harvesting and indexing their metadata will not only make the
  Portal richer, but it will also make it easier for students,
  teachers, and researchers to access the full text of the
  materials online.

Fun with open standards and open source software.
