[basex-talk] OAI-PMH

Hello all

I am looking into the possibility of using BaseX as an OAI-PMH metadata provider and harvester, and wondered if anyone has experience with it for this purpose. Specifically using BaseX as a repository with the http-service with xquery scripts for accessing and providing metadata records.

Presumably, there aren't any limitations on the database side, and since the OAI-PMH protocol is all XML (http://www.openarchives.org/pmh/) it seems like a good idea to try and make it work. So if people on this list have any experience, I would like to hear from you.

thanks,
