Metadata records might point at (gold) OA but ongoing tension between green and gold in the UK post Finch is a compelling use case for aggregated green.

Dare say someone from CORE will be along in due course but I believe there are plans to make full aggregation available as json.

  I looked at core. I did not see it to afford bulk harvesting.

  But of what you write invalidates my principal problem. I don't
