Re: [CODE4LIB] best persistent url system
Take a look at NOID [1], it is a more flexible and lighter-weight solution for minting PIDs and resolving PID-based URLs than the Handle system. cheers, Don [1] https://confluence.ucop.edu/display/Curation/NOID Date: Thu, 13 Jan 2011 12:08:35 -0500 From: Adam Wead aw...@rockhall.org Subject: best persistent url system Hi all, We want to use urls in our MARC records and EAD to link to content in = our Fedora repository as well as things like web pages on our company's = website. What are you folks using out there for this? The Handle = System seems to be a good choice, or a purl service. I might also use = it to link to Fedora content as well. Ideas, suggestions? thanks, ...adam =20

Put another way, if I want to use repository using
NET::OAI::Harvester to read repository data in a form other than DC
will I need to write an additional module such as
NET::OAI::Record::MARCXML?
I don't know if this is the only way to do it, but that is how
I use NET::OAI::Harvester to handle metadata in DIDL that I get
out of a DSpace repository via a custom crosswalk plugin. The
harvest script simply invokes the Harvester like this:
my $rec = $harvester-getRecord('identifier' = $oaiid,
'metadataPrefix' = 'oai_didl',
'metadataHandler' = 'DOC_DIDL',
'set' = $set);
DOC_DIDL includes the SAX event handlers to build a hash of
metadata and some methods to retrieve that metadata used by
the harvest script.
Writing DOC_DIDL.pm was a little messy and specific to the way
we encode structural metadata in DIDL, mostly because I was
flattening an hierarchical schema into a hash. Obviously you'll
need a completely different module but if you want to see this
one just to see what is involved I can send it to you off-list.
