I have such a feature planned for a cataloguing tool in which I have invested a significant amount of work. This code has not yet been ported to Perl and Koha, although, that would be next on the roadmap. I have to convey the URL privately to protect the CPU, etc. from excessive load. Apart from that application, there already exists a fair amount of Perl code for harvesting OAI-PMH records. Index Data has some support for harvesting OAI-PMH records. There are crosswalks for converting the data to MARC or MARCXML. Although, semantic level crosswalks may not be specifically UNIMARC. Adding UNIMARC semantic support to whatever already exits would be easy. Some of the more interesting catalogues with records containing a small number of fields have been converted from MARC to OAI-PMH as the influence of MARC, as the universal library record syntax, diminishes.

Hello world,
Just to let you know : I have some contacts that are interested by adding OAI features to Koha. They should do it on Koha 2.2.x branch and, later, on koha 3.x probably.
The school that is interested will ask for a student work (5 weeks in april/may)
If someone in this list already has investigated such feature, please let me know. Otherwise, just stay tuned, i'll let you know if they decide to do it.
