Hmmm... I dunno why I thought that would be easy! The structure of LOM
means that you pretty much have to code each element individually :-(
Anyway, it's now more or less done. An example OAI GetRecord response is
at
http://lor.ukoln.ac.uk/perl/oai2/?verb=GetRecord&metadataPrefix=lom&identifier=oai:lor.ukoln.ac.uk:5
This validates OK with
http://www.w3.org/2001/03/webdata/xsv
and seems to view OK using the repository explorer at
http://oai.dlib.vt.edu/cgi-bin/Explorer/oai2.0/testoai
The corresponding human-readable view is at
http://lor.ukoln.ac.uk/archive/00000005/
Note that I haven't yet worked out how to get the eprints.org software to
wrap the vCard values as CDATA - nor have I managed to generate the taxon
'entry' that corresponds to the taxon 'id' for the JACS codes. Other than
that I think it is just about done.
I can share the code for this if anyone is interested.
