hi all,
I felt like drawing you attention to an OAI-PMH tool that has been
created by the Linked Data community:
(*) The OAI2LOD server is described and available at:
http://www.mediaspaces.info/tools/oai2lod/
(*) A paper was presented at the recent WWW Conference Linked Data
Workshop:
http://events.linkeddata.org/ldow2008/papers/03-haslhofer-schandl-
oai2lod-server.pdf
(*) And Tim Berners Lee took quite some interest in this development, as
can be seen from:

Thanks to Chris Bizer for the pointers.
cheers
Herbert
