OAI Compatibility: Exposing Metadata of Scientific Publications
نویسنده
چکیده
The VTT Publication register has been OAI compatible since June 2003. In other words, harvesters, using the protocol created by Open Archives Initiative, have been able to gather metadata from our database into OAI compatible service providers, typically search services. Thus, our database is no longer hidden in the Deep Web. In this paper we shall explore the easy of implementation of the Open Archives Initiative Metadata Harvesting Protocol (OAI-PMH) and the effect it will have on knowledge sharing.

Interweaving OAI-PMH data sources with the linked data cloud
The Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH) has found wide-spread adoption for exchanging bibliographic metadata. In parallel, the W3C’s Linked Data Initiative exposes and interlinks structured data from a variety of data sources on the Web. Since many of these data sources contain valuable information for institutional repositories (e.g., shared concept definitions,...

It begins by discussing the value of exposing metadata via OAI and the potential role that static repositories might play in lowering the barriers to achieving this, and reports on the progress of a...
متن کاملThe OAI2LOD Server: Exposing OAI-PMH Metadata as Linked Data
Many institutions grant access to their metadata repositories via the Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH). However, this protocol has two significant drawbacks: it does not make its resources accessible via dereferencable URIs, and it provides only restricted means of selective access to metadata. The OAI2LOD Server handles these shortcomings by republishing meta...
