We put together a proof of concept using my original OAI-PMH harvester, but I wasn't a huge fan of it, as it was very simple. It didn't deduplicate biblios, and it didn't include items (although we had the OAI-PMH server inject a URL pointing back to the original Koha instance with the number of items attached to the biblio).
Thanks for the reply. You have touched upon several of the concerns I had. My biggest concern is de-duplication and how to go about - how to match, but even before that how to curate the data that one is receiving from participating libraries as MARC exports, so that we can maximize the maximum number of matches. Is there any set standards, rules (even rule of thumb) in these? I mean beyond matching (a) ISBN or (b) Title + Author + edition? This is what i want to hear about and learn from people like you and others who have already ventured into these areas. Brooke have replied earlier and pointed me to masscat done by Bywater. thanks in advance. -- Indranil Das Gupta Phone : +91-98300-20971 Blog : http://indradg.randomink.org/blog IRC : indradg on irc://irc.freenode.net Twitter : indradg -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Please exchange editable Office documents only in ODF Format.
