Dear all, I am almost done with my re-implementation of the OAI repository part of Invenio which will address tickets:
<http://invenio-software.org/ticket/426> <http://invenio-software.org/ticket/300> <http://invenio-software.org/ticket/122> This last one, however requires we agree on certain conventions namely in order to implement in Invenio support for: <http://www.openarchives.org/OAI/2.0/guidelines-provenance.htm> Currently when Invenio harvest some record, it will put the OAI id in the same field it would use to re-export the record. We should change this convention, and have a dedicated field where to put the provenance information. In my branch I propose to have: [...] ## CFG_OAI_ID_FIELD -- OAI identifier MARC field: CFG_OAI_ID_FIELD = 909COo ## CFG_OAI_SET_FIELD -- OAI set MARC field: CFG_OAI_SET_FIELD = 909COp ## CFG_OAI_SET_FIELD -- previous OAI set MARC field: CFG_OAI_PREVIOUS_SET_FIELD = 909COq [...] to manage the Invenio controlled identifiers and sets. Where shall we put instead the: * baseURL * identifier * datestamp * metadataNamespace * originDescription * harvestDate * altered of any record harvested by Invenio? Note that originDescription will be a raw XML snippet containing recursively other origins. Moreover I guess there is no way to know if a record has been altered after its original harvest. So either we set this to True forever, or we need to add some logic in bibupload to set to True this bit (which actually seems a very sensible solution). So what about having new MARC tag 909CP with the assignment: * baseURL -> $u * identifier -> $i * datestamp -> $d * metadataNamespace -> $m * originDescription -> $o * harvestDate -> $h * altered -> $a Cheers!
