Good to hear about these extensions - thanks, Hayden. Longsight has developed an OAI-PMH module for Drupal that harvests metadata from DSpace (or other OAI-compliant repositories) and stores the results as nodes in Drupal. This opens the door for searching/displaying/commenting with the broad range of Drupal modules. Check it out at http://drupal.org/project/oai_pmh
It will be interesting to see how these strategies fare as Duraspace rolls out (http://www.dspace.org/index.php/DSpace-Press/DSpace-Foundation-and-Fedora-C ommons-Receive-Grant-from-the-Mellon-Foundation-for-DuraSpace.html) Scott ______________________________ Scott E.

CMS. Using the OAI and SRW/U we have been successful in displaying individual records and related items in Joomla! and have provided the plug-ins, components and modules under a free and open source license. If anyone is interested in using or improving on the suite of extensions, feel free to check them out on the Joomla! forge; http://joomlacode.org/gf/project/j-car/. It is currently in beta release and as yet there is no user documentation although we are hoping to remedy this within the next couple of weeks (just a matter of finding the time at this stage). We are hoping to develop a Drupal version of the extensions in the very near future and will provide a roadmap for both Joomla! and Drupal suites to provide users with possible development directions.
