OAI-PMH
The Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH) is a low-barrier mechanism for repository interoperability. Data Providers are repositories that expose structured metadata via OAI-PMH. Service Providers then make OAI-PMH service requests to harvest that metadata. OAI-PMH is a set of six verbs or services that are invoked within HTTP. The OpenSKOS project supports 2 metadataPrefixes: oai_dc and oai_rdf.
OpenSKOS implements a Service Provider:
- Identify:
/oai-pmh?verb=Identify - List metadataPrefixes:
/oai-pmh?verb=ListMetadataFormats - List ConceptSchemes (as OAI-PMH "sets"):
/oai-pmh?verb=ListSets - List Concepts:
/oai-pmh?verb=ListRecords&metadataPrefix=oai_dc - List Concepts modified since 2011-09-01 12:00:00:
/oai-pmh?verb=ListRecords&metadataPrefix=oai_dc&from=2011-09-01T12:00:00Z - List Concepts modified between 2011-09-01 and 2011-09-10:
