OAI-compliant format? ORE? :)
Or simple dublin core? :(
The last time I looked there were two flavors of OAI output from
DOAJ. The first was simple Dublin Core. The second was a DOAJ-
specific format used to describe their articles. It went beyond
Dublin Core to include things like pagination and issue numbers.
The last time I checked they were not supporting ORE.
