OAI-PMH

Talia contains optional support for the OAI-PMH protocol. This protocol allows external tools to query semantic information from your database.

Installation

Talia contains a generator script to install the oai support into your existing installation:

jruby script/generate talia_oai

This will install all the files and modify routes.rb to enable the OAI URLs. The OAI support depends on the "oai_talia" gem - if it's not installed, the application will complain and you may install it with:

rake gems:install

Usage Information

The basic implementation will provide the DublinCore metadata which is present on each "Source" in your library. The OAI query URL is http://yoursite/oai, and the OAI provider can and will give paginated responses.
