OAI Data Service

It is possible to harvest Dublin Core records from the CDL collection of METS records using the Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH). The CDL implements the OAI-PMH 2.0 specification.

The repository framework for this OAI data service is based on code from the eXtensible Text Framework (XTF).
