Use of OAI-PMH¶
OpenAIRE uses the OAI-PMH v2.0 protocol for harvesting dataset metadata.
Metadata Format¶
OpenAIRE expects metadata to be encoded in the DataCite metadata format (metadataPrefix oai_datacite) . For information on how to use the individual DataCite properties, please refer to Application Profile Overview.
OpenAIRE OAI Set¶
A specific OAI-Set at the local repository should be configured to select records relevant to OpenAIRE for harvesting. The following characteristics of the set are recommended:
| setName | setSpec |
|---|---|
| OpenAIRE | openaire_data |
Note
A harvester only uses the setSpec value to perform selective harvesting. The letters of the setSpec must be in small caps.
Set content¶
The specific content of the openaire_data set is to be determined at the local repository. OpenAIRE will harvest all datasets from the openaire_data set.
