The JEM community now is a registered dataprovider for the LOM records on the website. A complete list of dataproviders can be fetched from http://www.openarchives.org/Register/BrowseSites.

The purpose of the OAI (Open Archives Initiative) support is to enable remote browsing of the content in our Learning Repository; the OAI support provides a good way to gather hits for the website. Websites with OAI harvester support can now traverse our content according to the OAI v2 specification.

To enable this support we have built a PHP-based Drupal 5.x module to be used along with our learning repository. For a full list of features on the module and a download link, visit the our OAI guide. In case you are not already running a learning repository built according to our guidelines, please visit our repository guide to learn more. To see the OAI module in action, you may also visit the OAI feed manually.

We are also working on a OAI data harvester module for Drupal 5.x, the module is currently undergoing the development stage with some of the first verbs (Identify and GetMetadataFormats) verbs having been implemented. The module will be posted on this website and on the Drupal community once ready.
