OAI-PMH
Open Archives InitiativeProtocol for Metadata
Harvesting
…is used in New Zealand by…
• KRIS Participants– All the universities and some polytechnics
• Te Papa and NZETC (testing)
• And now Kete– DigitalNZ Kete– Kete Horowhenua– The APN Ketes– And others we’re testing
What’s good about OAI-PMH?
• A standard
• Simple
• Basic Dublin Core is required
• Incremental harvesting
• Any other metadata format can be supported
What’s bad about OAI-PMH?
• A standard (well, not really)
• Simple relative to complex alternatives
• Basic Dublin Core is required even when it is not appropriate
• Any other metadata format can be supported but since they are all optional not many OAI-PMH data providers bother and they all do things differently

OAI-PMH and Kete: To do list
1. Some Kete records seem to cause problems
2. We’re not really complying with the OAI-PMH standard
3. We need a national metadata application standard for harvesting detailed metadata (this is not just a Kete problem)
