Overview
The objective of the Santa Fe Convention, now the
Open Archive
Initiative (OAI), is to develop a framework to facilitate the discovery of content stored in distributed archives. The OAI plans to achieve interoperability among archives that cut across physical and organizational borders. OAI is becoming widely accepted and many archives are currently or soon-to-be OAI-compliant. This project helps archives to become OAI compliant and enable to share their metadata with others.
Rapid Visual OAI Tool (RVOT)
can be used to graphically construct a OAI-PMH repository from a collection of
files. The records in the original collection can be in any one of the acceptable format. The format currently supported
are RFC1807, Marc subset & COSATI formats. RVOT helps to define the mapping visually from a native format to oai_dc format, and once this is done the tool can respond to
OAI-PMH requests. The tool is self-contained; it comes with a lightweight http server and
OAI-PMH request handler and is written in Java. The design of RVOT is such that it can be easily extended to support other metadata formats.
