Dear all,
I'm involved in a project in Ireland where we will be harvesting records
from Irish IRs into a national portal.
I'm interested to find out about other projects where people are harvesting
metadata via OAI-PMH using a format other than oai_dc.
As is well documented, using Simple DC is really dumbing down the metadata.
We want our portal to ideally use qualified DC that meets our particular
needs. And, in spite of the fact that there are a number of OAI compliant
metadata schemas, I cannot see too much evidence of formats other than oai_dc
actually being used by harvesters. Please let me know about it if I'm wrong!
We were also looking at uketd_dc for theses. I am curious to know are there
any particular projects (apart from those directly relating to EThOS) that
are using this schema to harvest theses records? Are people using any other
schemas for theses? NDLTD??
All feedback appreciated.
Many thanks,
Rachel
