The OAI2LOD Server: Exposing OAI-PMH Metadata as Linked Data
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 metadata originating from an OAI-PMH endpoint according to the principles of Linked Data. As the ongoing OAI-ORE specification process shows, these principles are gaining growing importance also in the digital libraries domain.

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,...

متن کاملOAI Compatibility: Exposing Metadata of Scientific Publications
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...

We describe mod_oai, an Apache 2.0 module that implements the Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH). OAI-PMH is the de facto standard for metadata exchange in digital libraries and allows repositories to expose their contents in a structured, application-neutral format with semantics optimized for accurate incremental harvesting. mod_oai differs from other OAIPMH i...
