PDFBox (and hence Tika) get worse the more recent a version of the PDF format you use. One fun trick they can do is get a tad confused and think there are control characters in extracted metadata fields. Great fun when those characters are then inserted into an XML CMIS response. (Why do I seem t

Hi, As Demian mentioned, we're using Vufind + Virtua at the National Library of Ireland. We use a subset of the USQ driver methods with minor modifications to accommodate our data (e.g. item classes) and our version of Virtua. I'm happy to answer any questions. The Virtua OAI-PMH add-on is pretty

I'm aware of at least two Virtua libraries currently using VuFind: USQ (http://library.usq.edu.au/) and the National Library of Ireland (http://catalogue.nli.ie/). VuFind is currently bundled with a copy of USQ's Virtua driver, so it should be possible to get things up and running with minima

Re: [CODE4LIB] OIA Feeds

You might want to take a look at the XC OAI Toolkit. http://code.google.com/p/xcoaitoolkit/ The Toolkit provides an infrastructure. It was designed to take MARC and convert to MARCXML and serve that data up in an OAI repository, and in XC's end to end system this is the entry point for ILS data

I have tangential experience with the free, java-based OAI service from UCAR/DLS. Info here: http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/oai/ I believe this service will take your xml metadata files and serve them in a number of configurable ways. There are, of course, other implementation details that may be

Re: [CODE4LIB] OIA Feeds

Thank you everyone for your replies. Right now, I'm just exploring the options for a potential project. We need to make our MARC records available as Dublin Core via OAI-PMH. We don't have a digital repository or similar infrastructure at the moment, so I'll take a look at the OAI Static Repositor

Re: [CODE4LIB] OIA Feeds

One can set up an OAI "static repository" without a repository infrastructure. It is not without ongoing costs in staff time, exporting metadata records from their source, converting to appropriate XML or other format files, and keeping it updated and synced. There is some static repository ga

Nathan, I think what you want is a OAI Static Repository. Info here: http://www.openarchives.org/OAI/2.0/guidelines-static-repository.htm If I remember right, you will then need someone else to read your files. Not sure if anyone is still doing that. Sincerely, David Bigwood dbigw...@hou.usra.ed

Re: [CODE4LIB] OIA Feeds

Without /any/ infrastructure it would be a challenge, but a simple database that has timestamps and basic metadata would be sufficient. The timestamps are the most important, obviously, to populate the feed correctly and handle the time slicing. Rob On Tue, Jun 21, 2011 at 8:55 AM, Eric Lease Mor

I'm using Docsplit (http://documentcloud.github.com/docsplit/), due to its Ruby bindings. It includes OCR if it fails at extracting the text, but it also requires you to install a bunch of other (open source) software. Results seem fine to me so far. Best, Andreas Am 21.06.2011 16:23, schrieb
