Hi David
The part that really disturbs me is: "*First, that external DSpace must be
running both the OAI-PMH interface and the XMLUI interface to support
harvesting content from it via OAI-ORE.*"
What if the external repository is not DSpace powered but say EPrints
powered. EPrints does not have an XMLUI interface.
This seems to obviate repository interoperability, which is what OAIS is
supposed to support?
That is definitely a bug and a major feature regression.
Cheers
