             Bug #: 6440
           Summary: Koha's OAI-PMH does not support sets
    Classification: Unclassified
 Change sponsored?: ---
           Product: Koha
           Version: rel_3_6
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P5
         Component: Z39.50 / SRU / OpenSearch Servers
        AssignedTo: gmcharlt at gmail.com
        ReportedBy: magnus at enger.priv.no

Currently a request like /cgi-bin/koha/oai.pl?verb=ListSets results in this
response: 

<OAI-PMH xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.openarchives.org/OAI/2.0/
http://www.openarchives.org/OAI/2.0/OAI-PMH.xsd"><responseDate>2011-06-01T12:32:26Z</responseDate><request
verb="ListSets">http://sksk.bibkat.no/cgi-bin/koha/oai.pl</request><error
code="noSetHierarchy">Koha repository doesn't have sets</error></OAI-PMH>

A starting point might be to define sets based on libraries/branches and/or
item types. Taking it a step further one could imagine adding a config file
that would let sysadmins define more sets with some kind of queries. 

This lack of sets seems to be a stumbling block when trying to integrate Koha
with e.g. XC (http://www.extensiblecatalog.org/), which expects to get a list
of sets from it's OAI-PMH sources.
