Exposing and harvesting metadata using the OAI metadata harvesting protocol: A tutorial

Abstract

In this article I outline the ideas behind the Open Archives Initiative metadata harvesting protocol (OAIMH), and attempt to clarify some common misconceptions. I then consider how the OAIMH protocol can be used to expose and harvest metadata. Perl code examples are given as practical illustration.Comment: 13 pages, 1 figure.
