Hi all, I was not aware of the existence of that project [0], thanks for the information. I think that there some details to take into account.
- The project is licensed under GPL 3.0, I do not know if there is any conflict with the Apache Licence. - Even though the the last realease was a few months ago, the last commits were made 4 years ago. - Some features such as: GetRecord, ListSets are not implemented yet. - Only the oai_dc metadata format seems to be supported, since there are not schema definitions for other formats such as: xoai or rdf. - It seems that it needs some minor changes to work, I downloaded the code and tried to run it, but obtained some errors in the xjc goal of the jaxb2-maven-plugin that need to be reviewed. I would like to know your opinion about this. On one hand, I could port this project to the Apache Camel codebase (under the creator permission obviously) and implement all missing features, On the other hand, I could implement a new OAI-PMH component from scratch in order to not interfere with this project. Alternatively, there are other standards that are not still implemented in Apache Camel and they are used in libraries world-wide such as MARC21/MARCXML [1] or Z39.50 [2]. There are also good options to be Apache Camel Components and I have some experience working with them. So, I could to create a proposal for them instead. Please let me known your thoughts about this.
