03/06/2006 12:36 [oss4lib-discuss] Version 2 of the
PKP Metadata Harvester now
available
Version 2 of the Public Knowledge Project Metadata Harvester is now
available at http://pkp.sfu.ca/harvester2 . The Metadata Harvester is
open source software, under the GPL license, developed and maintained by
the Public Knowledge Project, a three-way partnership of the Faculty of
Education at the University of British Columbia under the direction of
John Willinsky; Simon Fraser University Library; and SFU's Canadian
Centre for Studies in Publishing (CCSP).
The Harvester provides the ability to aggregate and search metadata
exposed using the Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata
Harvesting (OAI-PMH). Features include:
-Ability to harvest OAI metadata in a variety of schemas (comes with
unqualified DC, the PKP (Open Journal Systems/Open Conference Systems)
Dublin Core extension, MODS, and MARCXML).
-Flexible search interface that allows simple searching and advanced
searching using crosswalked fields. Advanced searching of archives that
share the same schema is possible using fields as defined in the schema.
When creating crosswalks for searching, administrators can define
elements as text, date, or HTML multiple select interface widgets.
-Ability to perform granular harvesting using setSpec and timestamps.
-Ability to perform post-harvest and pre-indexing
filtering/normalization on metadata.
-Ability to customize the user interface using CSS and template-based HTML.
-Ability to add plugins for extending harvesting, filtering, and other
types of functionality.
-Searching is highly scalable (creates an inverted index for searching).
Development of version 2 of the PKP Metadata Harvester has been
supported by the Canadian Association of Research Libraries
(http://www.carl-abrc.ca/), Simon Fraser University Library
(http://www.lib.sfu.ca), and the Public Knowledge Project
(http://pkp.ubc.ca/).
The Harvester is a PHP/MySQL application and has been tested on Linux,
but should run on any platform. Administrator and technical
documentation for the Harvester is also available. Community support is
provided through the PKP Support Forum at http://pkp.sfu.ca/support/forum/
.
