Auto-Graphics is pleased to announce the implementation of OAI-PMH (Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting) with our digital collections management software, MONTAGE.
The OAI-PMH is a protocol developed by the Open Archives Initiative to ensure interoperability between digital repositories. Taking advantage of repositories (data providers) and services (service providers) that offer metadata using OAI-PMH will allow libraries’ resources better visibility and access. For example, many discovery services (the “harvester”) use OAI-PMH metadata for indexing open-access institutional repository articles.
By participating in the OAI-PMH, MONTAGE can now serve as a data provider to ensure libraries’ metadata can easily be discovered by researchers and institutions around the world.
OAI-PMH includes a set of commands (called verbs) that are invoked within HTTP/HTTPS. MONTAGE’s initial implementation of OAI-PMH will support the following:
• ListMetadataFormats – Used to retrieve the available metadata formats.
• ListSets – Used to retrieve the set structure of a repository.
• ListIdentifiers – Used to retrieve only headers.
• ListRecords – Used to retrieve actual item metadata records.
• GetRecord – Used to retrieve an individual metadata record.
Example ListRecords command:
https://montageapi06-set1.auto-graphics.com/oai/demor5-uah-montage.auto-graphics.com?verb=ListRecords&metadataPrefix=oai_dc&set=archive:Auto%20Graphics%20Archives%20and%20Public%20Records&from=2022-01-01
Example ListRecords response:
