Breakout Session Tools and Implementation Issues - Report Back - Uwe Müller
OAI Data Providers • few projects / institutions with working OAI interfaces • most participants: intend to make data bases OAI complient • resources: • documents • multimedia objects (photographs, drawings, recordings, ...) • learning materials, scholar materials • journals • year books • ... 3rd OAForum workshop - Berlin - 27th-29th March 2003 - Breakout Session: Tools and Implementation Issues
Own Implementations • reasons • often: just do not know about existing tools • early implementors • sometimes easier to solve special problems (do not have to adapt existing tools) • want to re-use existing systems • specialists for certain programming languages / data bases 3rd OAForum workshop - Berlin - 27th-29th March 2003 - Breakout Session: Tools and Implementation Issues
Using Existing Tools • reasons • all-in-one-package • support (mailing lists etc.) • open source • eprints.org (Southampton University) • most used tool • seems to be best package solution • DSpace (MIT) • too complicated to install • provides only “googlish” search 3rd OAForum workshop - Berlin - 27th-29th March 2003 - Breakout Session: Tools and Implementation Issues
Technological Issues • Search Engines vs. Dynamic Information • “blind hole” can be closed by the OAI-PMH • Language problems occur for service providers • should have translation services 3rd OAForum workshop - Berlin - 27th-29th March 2003 - Breakout Session: Tools and Implementation Issues
Organisational Issues • Definition of Sets • How should sets be defined using OAI? • Necessary: Agreements above the protocol (e.g. CIMI) including syntax (set names) and semantics (meaning) • service provider & universal set definitions for museums / media community not existent: probably task for CIMI 3rd OAForum workshop - Berlin - 27th-29th March 2003 - Breakout Session: Tools and Implementation Issues
Special Presentations • AdLIB Information Systems • search engine and internet server (display collections) • provide OAI interface (2.0 not complete yet, 1.1 fully implemented and tested) • possibility to define mapping between internal database and metadata fields • Ukrainian Catholic University (Institute of Church History) • several multimedia projects (images, recordings ...) • not yet OAI compatible • but: interested in Open Access 3rd OAForum workshop - Berlin - 27th-29th March 2003 - Breakout Session: Tools and Implementation Issues
