--- Comment #35 from Gaetan Boisson <gaetan.boisson at biblibre.com> ---
That's more complicated than i first thought indeed. My understanding at first
was that the library would want to filter out some fields to import in the OAI
harvester, but Jonathan pointed out that anyone can query the koha OAI provider
and that the real issue is data that would be considered confidential and that
should never be exported.

I would say we have two separate issues though:

- Having items data in the OAI export. If we don't have it, this is a problem
for harvesting purposes, which even defeats the point of being an OAI provider
in some situations.

- Some confidential data can be exposed through this. But Jonathan and i just
tried it, and it's not just the OAI interface, if you save the record as marc
or marcxml from the opac, this data will be in there. So we don't respect this
confidentiality here either.

I would say this ticket should remain about adding item data, and we should
create another bug report, that would tackle the issue of exporting sensitive
data everywhere this could happen. what do you think?
