Sue, The OAICat JAR that your noted actually comes bundled with DSpace (so it's there when you download DSpace).
In fact, you really don't have to do much to implement OAI-PMH. It's all done for you. When you compile the DSpace software, it generates two ".war" files: dspace.war and dspace-oai.war (the former is the DSpace application, the latter being the OAI-PMH interface). Assuming you place the "dspace-oai.war" alongside your "dspace.war" in Tomcat, then your OAI-PMH base URL should be something like: http://localhost:8080/dspace-oai/request (you may need to replace "localhost" with your server-name) You can test it by passing the OAI-PMH "ListRecords" verb: http://localhost:8080/dspace-oai/request?verb=ListRecords&metadataPrefix=oai_dc Let us know if any of this still doesn't make sense or isn't working for you! - Tim -- ======================================== Tim Donohue Research Programmer, Illinois Digital Environment for Access to Learning and Scholarship (IDEALS) 135 Grainger Engineering Library University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] web: http://www.ideals.uiuc.edu phone: (217) 333-4648 fax: (217) 244-7764 ======================================== Sue Walker-Thornton wrote: > Hi, > Can someone give me the quick and easy version of the documentation > of how to implement OAI-PMH on our DSpace website?
