Does anybody here know of a MARC2OAI program?
I have a nightly cron script that gets any new/modified marc
records from the past 24 hours out of the catalog and then runs
marc2xml on the dump file. Then I have a small script that breaks
up the large marcxml files into individual xml files and imports
them into SOLR! I then can use an XSL stylesheet such as the LOC's
marc2oai to produce an OAI document or the marc2rdf, etc on the
full marcxml files (since solr doesn't have the original record).
I have yet to incorporate my OAI server code into this, but since
it is already written, it would be a fairly easy merge.
Fun. I was thinking of doing something in Perl but no never mind. Any
system that would the the following would work for me:
1. Export (to a file system) MARC data in communications format
2. Do "magic".
3. Make MARC records accessible via OAI.
Such an implementation could be operating system independent,
standards compliant, and vendor-neutral.
