I am not sure if an API is sufficent. I'd like to have a copy of the source data as well as of the data and scripts that are used to produce the output data. Anybody who will join my line of work will get these via rsync. > I still wonder, why there is no discussion about the "OCLC OAIster > Terms and Conditions": > > https://www3.oclc.org/app/oaister/oaister_terms.htm There is discussion, not much on the American Scientist Open Access Forum. I am aware of http://www.openarchives.org/pipermail/oai-general/2009-September/thread.html https://arl.org/Lists/SPARC-IR/ but there may be others. In general, an "OAI-PHM data users", polite for "OAI-PMH data exegetes" list is probably a good idea. I'd be happy to run it, but I don't want to be the only member.
