Admin page

you just need to go the the admin/menu page (you don't have to do anything when you get there). This rebuilds the menu cache.

Do you know how can I test if a OAI-PMH harvester index my documents?

Yep, go to http://re.cs.uct.ac.za/ and enter the url to your site followed by /oia , for instance I would enter http://liiscience.org/oai

Then click on "[ Test the specified/selected baseURL ]" and it will completely exercise all of the OAI functionality.

By the way, I'm glad you asked this question, since it made me realize that I hadn't upgraded my own site when I moved to Drupal 5.

In the meantime i've discovered more things about how OAI works:

http://www.example.com/oai?verb=ListRecords&metadataPrefix=oai_dc

To see the list of contents of this class of metadata (Indeed, the only one this module provides).

http://www.tipitipi.com/oai?verb=ListMetadataFormats
List of metadata availables in the repository.

And the url of a single content in the node 190 is :
http://www.tamtam.com/oai?verb=GetRecord&identifier=190&metadataPrefix=o...

I'm still waiting than the PKP Harvester indexes us, to see it works with my owns eyes.

Thanks.

Hi Ron,

I am glad that I read these posts as I kept looking for the admin/menu options. Regarding testing the URL for our sites. Should it be

http://doujou.net/drupal/biblio/oai

or

http://doujou.net/drupal/oai

When I tried the second method I got the following error a number of times..

------- End of XML Response -------
Test Result : FAIL!
**** [ERROR] XML Schema validation failed

Do you know what might be wrong?

Also, based on another comment...when I type in http://doujou.net/drupal/biblio/oai I am presented with a login screen for my instance of Drupal. Is there something else I should be seeing.

Cheers

Doug

http://doujou.net/drupal/oai is the correct url to use for OAI harvesting.

I'm not sure why you are seeing those XML Schema validation failures (I see the same on my site). Last time I ran the validator on it there were no errors, so I would have to did around a bit to see what's going on.

This URL ( http://doujou.net/drupal/biblio/oai ) is not valid and really shouldn't do anything so I'll have to fix that

Ron.

Hi Ron,

Thanks for the quick response. I am not glad that we are both getting the xml errors; however, I am glad that the problem is not exclusively on my site.

One last thing, do you know anyone who is using the module with version 6 of Drupal.

Cheers

Doug

Hi Doug,

The OAI module is not 6.x compatible yet. I'll work on that after I finish porting the biblio module.

Ron.
