University of Michigan Libraries Release the UMich OAI Toolkit
The University of Michigan Libraries have released the UMich OAI Toolkit.
Here's an excerpt from the announcement:
This toolkit contains both harvester and data provider, both written in Perl. . . .
UMHarvester is a robust tool using LWP for harvesting nigh on every OAI data provider available. It allows for incremental harvesting, has multiple re-try options, and a batch harvest tool (Batch_UMHarvest) that can automatically perform incremental harvesting.
UMProvider relies heavily on libxml (XML::LibXML) and will store the data in nearly any relational database. It functions by harvesting from a database of records, making rights determinations from a separate database, and providing the resulting set of records.
Originally, only the UMHarvester was available from UM's DLXS software site. The UMProvider tool is newly developed and takes the place of our DLXS data provider tool.
