[OSGeodata] OAI-PMH protocol support discussion

[Stefan F. Keller]

[Forwarded message from Jeroen Ticheler, FAO]


Hi all,



There's been discussion and interest by GeoNetwork users and supporters in
getting the Open Archive Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting
(OAI-PMH) added as an interface to the GeoNetwork catalog. This would be an
alternative interface to the catalog that lives next to the Z39.50 and CSW
interfaces.



In OSGEO (osgeo.org) a discussion and work has been started on OAI-PMH and
Stefan Keller wrote a good overview of requirements, models and
implementations for this protocol.



Through this email I hope to stimulate the discussion and maybe trigger
interest to start working on implementing this in GeoNetwork :-)



Maybe some cross-fertilization between the GeoNetwork and geodata groups is
also triggered through this email!



Ciao,

Jeroen
