Hi Tim,
Thanks for the reply. I don't think this is what I'm looking for though -
as per the requirements of Theses Canada, the description element must be
included in the OAI-PMH "Identify" response. Currently, the default value
of the description element that I get when making an "Identify" request
from the following address -
http://biblio-dev.laurentian.ca:8080/dspace-oai/request?verb=Identify - is:
<description>
<XOAIDescription xmlns="http://www.lyncode.com/XOAIConfiguration";>XOAI:
OAI-PMH Java Toolkit</XOAIDescription>
</description>
Basically I am looking to change the value of that description element, or
add a second one. From my understanding, the output received from issuing
an "Identify" request does not depend on any particular crosswalk.
Thanks,
Kevin
