Re: [Fedora-commons-developers] OAI-PMH Harvester
The work is now well underway, there will be a release in the next couple of weeks. Now is the right time to ask me questions if anybody is interested how the harvester will work.

Now is the right time to ask me questions if anybody is interested how the harvester will work. Is this an harvester meant to harvest external meta-data and automatically ingest/update it in fedora? (hence, replicating the meta-data on another repository) Or is it the other way around, and what it does is to harvest meta-data provided by fedora's OAI-PMH service? I would find both scenarios useful, although I see the second one more as a software library than a standalone module.

(hence, replicating the meta-data on another repository) Thats right. It consists of the following parts: - An OAI-PMH client implementation library (finished) - The Harvester as a library (60% complete) - A WebService which uses the library - Possibly a Web UI The harvester itself will have the following features: - It is Protocol-Agnostic: You can easily add more harvesting and more storing protocols, so it isn't tied to Fedora or OAI-PMH but these are the protocols I'll implement. - Converting different metadata formats into others using xslt or custom java code. - Translation-tables: Translates the content of metadata fields. For example if the source uses another naming schema for the discipline- field. - One or more Metadata-Streams. Possible future features: - Non-XML data streams - Support for OAI-ORE I'm using standard Java 1.5 with JAX-WS, JAXB and Joda-Time (because java.util.Date and DateFormat is just evil). It needs at least Fedora 2 to work (Using the Fedora2Repository class which uses the SOAP-API). I'm implementing a Fedora3Repository using the REST API afterwards. Or is it the other way around, and what it does is to harvest meta-data provided by fedora's OAI-PMH service? By creating another storing protocol (called Repository inside the harvester, as opposed to Archive which is the harvesting protocol) this is easily done.

Re: [Fedora-commons-developers] OAI-PMH Harvester
Great! Support for OAI-ORE sounds like a particularly nice addition :) Would love to hear back from you when you release it.
