Overview

OAI defined

jOAI is a Java-based OAI software that supports the Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH), version 2.0. The protocol establishes methods for sharing individual metadata files that are XML documents. The software contains a data provider that makes XML metadata files available to others and a data harvester that can get XML metadata files from others.

Data Provider

Use the data provider to make metadata files available to others via the OAI protocol. Set up the Provider. If only harvesting metadata files, provider setup is not necessary.

See the Data provider documentation for detailed information about the jOAI data provider.

To harvest from this data provider, use this baseURL: https://doc-oai.eaurmc.fr:443/oai/provider

Harvester

Use the harvester to get metadata files from OAI data providers. Set up the Harvester. If only providing metadata files, harvester setup is not necessary.

See the Harvester documentation for detailed information about the jOAI harvester.

Search

Use the Search page to view and find items in the data provider. Free-text searches operate over the full text of all metadata files. Searches may be limited by set and/or keyword terms.

See the ODL Search documentation for detailed information about the search functionality available in jOAI.

The jOAI software runs on Windows, Mac, Linux and Unix platforms. The following components are needed to operate the software:
