OAI-PMH protocol support discussion

[Jeroen Ticheler]

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- 
MHP 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
