--- Comment #315 from David Cook <dcook at prosentient.com.au> ---
I just played a bit with the MarcEdit OAI-PMH tool. It can download OAI-PMH
data, transform it, and save it to a local file.

If you use the Windows Task Scheduler, you can also schedule this task. 

The problem I see is that you end up with MARC files that Koha won't be able to
necessarily differentiate.

DSpace's OAI-PMH harvester and my OAI-PMH harvesters all track the local system
identifier against the OAI-PMH identifier, so it keeps a linkage between the
upstream and downstream systems, so that updates and deletions are always
perfectly matched up.

Technically, you could probably write a crosswalk for MarcEdit that saves the
OAI-PMH identifier and OAI-PMH repository URL into a custom field, so you could
use it with Koha's record matching rules, but you'd have to make sure that
custom field is indexed...
