The guidelines presented here provide background information on how to implement harvesting-based interfaces
in the archives' local databases. The most suitable approach is the OAI-PMH mechanism for harvesting XML-formatted
metadata from repositories.
OAI-PMH implementation and tools guidelines
Issued in 2008 as part of the TELplus project this 21-pages document provides short guidelines to help content
providers in implementing OAI-PMH. It explains the main concepts and functionality of the protocol, as well as
the common scenarios found in libraries for OAI-PMH implementation. The presented best practise guidelines and
tool recommendations are worth considering for the EFG context. Furthermore, this document can be used by the EFG
archives' technical staff in order to get a short and concise introduction to OAI-PMH.
DRIVER Guidelines 2.0: Guidelines for content providers – Exposing textual resources with OAI-PMH
This document is an outcome of the DRIVER project. It contains guidelines for repository managers and
administrators explaining how to expose digital scientific resources by using OAI-PMH and Dublin Core Metadata.
Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH)
The official website of the Open Archives Initiative provides implementation guidelines, tools and software for
data and service providers as well as background information and news on OAI projects. The introduction to the Open
Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH) can be read
here.
