The trick is that you can't just have a generic black box OAI-PMH
provider on top of any Solr index. How would it know where to get the
metadata elements it needs, such as title, or last-updated date, etc.
Any given solr index might not even have this in stored fields -- and a
given app might want to look them up from somewhere other than stored
fields.
If the Solr index does have them in stored fields, and you do want to
get them from the stored fields, then it's, I think (famous last words)
relatively straightforward code to write. A mapping from solr stored
fields to metadata elements needed for OAI-PMH, and then simply
outputting the XML template with those filled in.
I am not aware of anyone that has done this in a
re-useable/configurable-for-your-solr tool. You could possibly do it
solely using the built-in Solr
JSP/XSLT/other-templating-stuff-I-am-not-familiar-with stuff, rather
than as an external Solr client app, or it could be an external Solr
client app.
This is actually a very similar problem to something someone else asked
a few days ago "Does anyone have an OpenSearch add-on for Solr?" Very
very similar problem, just with a different XML template for output
(usually RSS or Atom) instead of OAI-PMH.

Peter,
I'm afraid your service is harvesting and I am trying to look at a PMH provider
service.
Your project appeared early in the goolge matches.

Hi,
I don't know whether it fits to your need, but we are builing a tool
based on Drupal (eXtensible Catalog Drupal Toolkit), which can harvest
with OAI-PMH and index the harvested records into Solr. The records is
harvested, processed, and stored into MySQL, then we index them into
Solr. We created some ways to manipulate the original values before
sending to Solr. We created it in a modular way, so you can change
settings in an admin interface or write your own "hooks" (special
Drupal functions), to taylor the application to your needs. We support
only Dublin Core, and our own FRBR-like schema (called XC schema), but
you can add more schemas. Since this forum is about Solr, and not
applications using Solr, if you interested this tool, plase write me a
private message, or visit http://eXtensibleCatalog.org, or the
module's page at http://drupal.org/project/xc.
Hope this helps,
Péter

Hello list,
I've met a few google matches that indicate that SOLR-based servers implement
the Open Archive Initiative's Metadata Harvesting Protocol.
Is there something made to be re-usable that would be an add-on to solr?
thanks in advance
paul
